This study aims to reveal the popular features of blockchain games in the market and to identify which group of games perform better in terms of capitalization ability using a textmining based approach. We collected the information of over 2000 blockchain games including game descriptions and market performances from a popular blockchain game hub and employed topic modeling techniques to comprehensively explore the features. In total 38 topics were extracted from the game descriptions using BERTopic model and grouped into 4 themes: “blockchain games”, “game content”, “game format” and “others”. We further examined the relationships between these themes and market performances for the active 223 games. Preliminary results indicate that diverse market performances exist within each theme, Web3-focused and community-driven nature games exhibit a stronger performance. These findings provide insights for future research and help stakeholders understand key factors driving financial success in blockchain gaming.
