Sony NFT Patent Confirms Blockchain Interest
Sony Interactive Entertainment published a patent titled “NFT Framework for Transferring and Using Digital Assets between Games Platforms” on March 16, 2023. Sony investigates a framework for using NFTs across generations and platforms in the new filing, which includes Microsoft and Nintendo consoles, VR headsets, AR headsets, PCs, and more.
According to the document, current systems are technologically insufficient for players to use their assets across multiple games and platforms. Furthermore, the patent proposes a system for rewarding select players through NFTs. The company also wants to bring NFTs to cross-platform esports, rewarding winners with special NFTs or even “blockchain-based currency” for different tournament brackets. The patent enthuses using those NFTs to “buy in” to play the tournament’s next round or transfer it to another player who wishes to continue playing.
