This year has been a turning point for Alien Worlds, marking its evolution into mainstream gaming. By listing games on popular platforms like the App Store, Google Play, and STEAM, Alien Worlds has expanded its reach while maintaining its core focus: delivering fun-first games enriched by community-driven lore and NFT integration. This aligns perfectly with the results of the recent Alien Worlds community survey, where players made it clear that the number one thing they want to see is more games for AW NFTs. We heard you and are putting this into action more than ever. Ambitious projects, impactful community contributions, and a clear vision—thanks to grants powered by Galactic Hubs—have defined this year, setting the stage for even greater growth in 2025.
