Player Owned Economies are virtual economic systems within video games where participants have verifiable ownership and control over in-game assets. These assets, often represented as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), can be freely traded, sold, or used outside the game’s immediate environment. This model empowers players by granting them genuine economic agency and the potential to derive real-world value from their digital activities.

The expansion of these economies is seen as a key driver for broader adoption of blockchain technology in entertainment.
