List of video games using NFC
This is a list of video games that use near field communication (NFC) technology.
Currently, games have leveraged NFC in unlocking additional features through payment. This takes the form of a direct transaction over NFC[1] or by purchasing a physical item, which signals to the platform that a certain set of features has been purchased (e.g. Skylanders). This list catalogues gaming NFC platforms by device.
