The metaverse and NFT (Non-Fungible Token) games are related but distinct concepts. The metaverse is a virtual universe or collective virtual shared space where users can interact with each other and digital environments. It's a broader concept that includes various virtual experiences and activities, not limited to gaming. NFT games, on the other hand, are a subset of video games that incorporate NFT technology, allowing in-game assets and items to be owned and traded as unique, blockchain-based tokens. While NFT games can exist within the metaverse, they are a specific use case of blockchain in the gaming world.
