Axie Infinity is a unique game where your Axies are basically NFTs that live in the blockchain. If you want to try out this pay-to-win title, here’s a guide to downloading and playing Axie Infinity on Android and iOS.

Pay-to-win games are yet to make a strong impression in the gaming community. Despite the prominence of microtransactions in Fortnite, Overwatch 2, and Warzone, the developers refrain from releasing pay-to-win content as it instantly leads to backlash.

In contrast, Axie Infinity is an openly pay-to-win game where players can unlock digital pets known as Axies with Ethereum-based Cryptocurrencies. Sky Mavis, the developer, describes it as a “pay-to-play-to-earn” ecosystem where playing more can help you recover the initial investment.

If you want to try out this unique game on Android and iOS, check out this guide on how to download and play Axie Infinity on mobile devices.
