GameFi experienced a deep adjustment in 2025, but industry insiders are generally optimistic about the rebound potential in 2026. Behind this optimistic outlook are tangible catalysts—especially with the highly anticipated release of the blockbuster game GTA 6 in November.

Industry figures including Yat Siu and Gary Vee have provided exclusive predictions and key insights on the industry outlook for next year. With the release of such major games, it is expected to attract a large number of mainstream users into the blockchain gaming ecosystem, which is often a turning point for GameFi breakthroughs.

The "darkest hour" of 2025 is likely just a period of preparation before dawn. In 2026, we have good reason to expect GameFi to usher in its moment of revival.

Can GTA6 really save GameFi? I just want to know if this time it won't be another scam.

GTA6 is here, only blockbuster games are the saviors. Mainstream users entering the market can revive blockchain games. This half-dead state in 2025, let's see if it can turn around in 2026. Is what Yat Siu says reliable? It always feels like the big shots are just making empty promises. Talking about gathering strength before dawn again... always saying the same thing. Can GameFi really be revived by blockbuster games... it's a bit uncertain. It mainly depends on whether truly fun blockchain games come out, otherwise more users won't help. Will the rebound in 2026 really happen? I'm a bit skeptical. If GTA6 supports blockchain gaming, I’ll go all in. The darkest hour... how long has it been this dark? Just endless anticipation.

GTA6 this thing... Can it really save GameFi? I feel like it's a bit too optimistic. Let's wait until GTA6 launches. Whether mainstream users will truly enter the market is still uncertain. If 2026 can really turn things around, I will recover all the losses of 2025. I would wake up laughing from my dreams. Charging up before dawn? Sounds good, but I don't know how long it can last... AAA games can indeed attract popularity, but the blockchain game approach still needs to be improved; otherwise, coming here would be pointless.

GTA6 has already been released and still hasn't rebounded? I think it's doubtful. --- It's either the darkest hour or dawn before the light; I've heard this rhetoric too many times. --- Yat Siu and Gary Vee speak nicely, but it's all about real money. --- Wait, will mainstream users jump into on-chain games for gamefi? I haven't seen any signs of that. --- Preparing for a surge in 2025 and a rebound in 2026; I've seen this script in other quarters. --- Nice words, but the key is whether the game itself is fun. Pure hype and concept promotion are pointless. --- AAA games ≠ blockchain game prosperity; this logic is a bit too optimistic.

Will GTA 6 save GameFi when it launches? That logic is a bit shaky... Wait, will mainstream users really play blockchain games? I have to question that. It's another dark hour before dawn, tired of hearing this rhetoric. But if a blockbuster really brings traffic, maybe there's still hope. Stop dreaming here, let's wait for the data. GTA's success is no problem, but whether GameFi can catch on is another story. A rebound in 2026? I think I'll just go back to sleep... Just another round of YC big V's pie-in-the-sky show. Mainstream users playing blockchain games? You guys are overthinking it.

GTA6 has already been released but hasn't gained popularity yet, so why are you still thinking about next year? --- Same old excuse, you said the same thing last year... --- Is this the pre-dawn charging phase? Listen to these words, how many more dawns do we have to wait for? --- I remember what yat siu and gary vee said, but most of the records are still cut short. --- Mainstream users entering blockchain games? Wake up, they just come to play games. --- Revival in 2026? Let's wait until GTA6 is really out before talking.

ngl GTA6 really only dares to say a rebound when it actually arrives, right now it's all just hype Wait, is GTA6 launching in November or next year? Things are a bit confusing It's the same old pre-dawn buildup, I've heard it so many times, anyway I sell when I think it's bullish Mainstream users entering chain games? Ha, last time someone said that, gas fees could eat up your monthly salary Yat Siu's words are not necessarily reliable, just listen to big influencers at your own risk Just hoping GTA6 can really save the market, otherwise 2026 will just be another zombie year I'm a bit suspicious that it's another pump-and-dump, but I still wonder if the anticipation is just fake...
