Sony Interactive Entertainment files for NFT patent
Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed a patent application to enhance the NFT framework within its video games and consoles. Despite the popularity of NFTs waning since the boom of 2021, Sony — one of the gaming industry’s most prominent players with a current market capitalization of $109.1 billion — has so far remained cautious on whether to enter into the NFT space.
The company’s newly-published patent — published by Sony Japan — examines the potential of how interoperability can flow between different games within its ecosystem. Though the technology is not currently deployed, Sony appears keen to explore how NFT technology can be used within its wider gaming ecosystem. The patent also expressly outlines how these NFTs would be valid across all hardware — from virtual reality headsets, to tablets, computers, mobile phones and consoles. All of this signals a likely push towards a more favorable Web-3 business model for one of the world’s largest gaming corporations.
