Sony Interactive Entertainment, the gaming goliath running the PlayStation brand, filed a patent for a framework that allows users to transfer and use non-fungible tokens (NFTs) across multiple gaming platforms.
For several years, Sony's interest in cryptocurrencies has been evidenced by numerous associations and trademark registrations. In addition to this listing, Sony filed a patent titled "NFT Framework for Transferring and Using Digital Assets Between Gaming Platforms."
Sony's NFT framework aims to integrate NFT into the game, where the technology can render skins and other popular in-game functionality. Summarizing the patent, the abstract explained the intended features:
"In response to the determination, the NFT is provided to the first end-user entity so that the digital asset may be used, through the NFT, in several different computer simulations and/or on several different computer simulation platforms."
Furthermore, he added that ownership of NFTs could be transferred to other end-user entities for their own use across different simulations and platforms. The following diagrams detail Sony's intended use of NFT in the game.
Once implemented, PlayStation 5 users will be able to experience NFT use cases through mainstream game titles. As of December 2022, the total number of active PlayStation Network users worldwide was 112 million, which continues to grow year on year.
