Welcome to the 185th edition of the Play to Earn newsletter! We are seeing some magnificent leaps in web3 gaming this year, including a growing number of player governance DAOs, dynamic NFTs, and an increasing amount of cross-chain and cross-game compatibilities!

And speaking of cross-chain, the upcoming mint for SkyReign Immortals from Alterverse offers those on the whitelist a chance to choose which of three blockchains they would prefer for minting!

Players will also have an increasingly large say in what sort of content is made for The Sandbox as applications open for the first opportunities to publish and market your player owned experience!

And of course that’s not all. Axie Infinity adds a new experience system allowing players to level up their Axies and upgrade body parts in the future. A new, cross-game rental market called LootRush is making a splash, allowing players to rent NFTs without any login or KYC required! Season One of Genopets crafting begins, the Skyborne Legacy mint sold out before it ever hit the public phase, the Tearing Spaces open beta begins this week, and you can also play to earn with the first official tournament from the Dread Arena!

Read on for more headlines and news from this past week!
