Technology firm Sony is turning to NFT (Qualified Intellectual Tapu) and blockchain technology. Sony Interactive Entertainment, which has filed a new patent application, is investigating a system in games that allows users to buy (acquire) and sell in-game drawings and digital items. In this context, Sony reportedly wants to use untradable items and blockchain technology.
NFT and blockchain in Sony’s crosshairs
As reported by Gamesual, the title of the patent includes the words “unique in-game digital elements”. In the system mentioned in the patent, players will be able to own unique digital assets, then sell these items to other users or buy them from them. Each of the digital assets will be original and unique.
Sony, on the other hand, announced a new reward system called PlayStation Stars this year. It has been stated by many users that this reward system can be linked to NFT and blockchain technology. Because of this connection, the reward system was criticized by users and became the focus of controversy. Then, Sony reported that this system was not related to NFT and blockchain and put an end to the discussions.
There have been many companies that have turned to such technologies before. Game companies such as Ubisoft, which tried to discover this technology, faced great reactions.
