Sony’s 2021 patent application for a system that tracks digital assets in video games using NFTs has recently been made public.
The Japanese technology conglomerate points to the global popularity of gaming, and players who want to own unique items associated with their favorite celebrities, activities, and esports tournament winners as the reason behind the patent application.
According to Sony, there is no way to differentiate a specific instance of an in-game item that a famous player of the video game used to win a famous tournament in traditional video games.
Known for its PlayStation gaming consoles, Sony now wants to use a distributed ledger, or blockchain, to record digital media assets, gameplay, and video clips. Sony also wants a unique token for the digital item with a unique identifier and metadata that identifies the properties of the digital asset.
While the filing is only for a patent, it shows Sony is interested in entering the growing NFT gaming field.
In May 2022, Sony partnered with Theta Labs to launch a collection of 3D NFTs. The limited-edition NFT collection is viewable on the Sony tablet-style device, Spatial Reality Display.
