Entertainment and gaming console giant Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed for a patent that would make non-fungible tokens (NFT) transferable between different games and consoles.

The patent, originally filed last week, would allow players of Sony products such as its flagship PlayStation to have an interoperable Web3 gameplay experience. Gamers would be allowed to transfer in-game assets between devices such as virtual reality (VR) headsets, tablets, computers and smartphones. The patent application also noted that “In some examples, the NFT can be used cross-generationally (e.g., from PS4 to PS5)"

Sony Files Patent for NFTs to Allow Transfers Between Games and Consoles

The move by the gaming giant aims to make assets more interoperable, not only between different games but also hardware like VR headsets, computers and different consoles.

NFT is the future.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Not sure what the problem is with this

 

[Doom85]

Don’t they file patents for every possible thing imaginable and plenty of them they never use, and hasn’t that been pointed out on this forum multiple times? Just saying, there may no need for drama here.

 

[akaFullmetal]

So far nobody has seemed to successfully get these going . Hopefully they don't waste money on this.

Patents mean nothing.

Sony filed patents for used game control during the Xbox One prelaunch scandal if you remember. Leading people to believe they would do the same or worse.

Then it turned out they didn't.

Do I need to bring my pitchfork?

 

[JaksGhost]

It was PUBLISHED last week not filed. It was filed in 2021 like all of their other NFT patents that went nowhere.

 

[PonyStation4]

Does this really need a thread? Companies like Sony patent everything, it means absolutely nothing regarding their business decisions.

yeah. they're just trying to get paid if someone else wants to do this. the department coming up with patent ideas has nothing to do with the team making games.

Never.
Also why would space armor need a cloth cape? Is his suit damaged where dust can seep through?
It's not covering the most recognizable helmet.

Yup I believe it's just insurance in case different things become popular

They don't want to miss out on their piece of the pie

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

99% of these patents never go anywhere

 

[nashman]

Wahhh cause NFTs are bad. Cause ........ they add to global warming i think.

He's right though. Here's a patent Sony filed for a pager to receive TV programs info and radio programs info lol there's patents made all the time that never become anything

To then be abandoned in favor of ai.

[mrmustard]

It would be negligent not to do so.

 

[tusharngf]

Did you say...... NFT?

 

[SCB3]

Digital Games & Content is somewhere that NFT's actually make somewhat sense to have, if you have the ability to resell them that is, its not far away from owning certain CSGO skins and selling them really

The daily never to be used Sony patent news.

NFT is the future.

NFT is the dark future.

 

[UnNamed]

At least this has a little sense.

The reason behind NFT is using them across many digital environments, but for now we had skins for just one GaaS game dropped after 1year so bye bye to your purchase, and stupid monkeys.

In theory you should use your NFT digital good in every game, like a car you can use in GT but also (sometime) in Spiderman or games from other developers and vice versa.
Imagine a NFT character you can use in Guilty Gear, but also in Horizon or CoD.

I'm not even commenting so much on Sony in particular. The whole industry is looking at this and one of em starts making money from them, its gonna blow up.

 

[Nemesisuuu]

Can't wait to get NFT in Gran Turismo reward roulette instead of 10000 credits.

 

[nkarafo]

After all this time, all the posts trying to explain, all the drama, etc, i still don't understand NFTs.

Yeah hopefully no gamers invest in NFTs

 

[Lasha]

I'm kinda baffled by what this patent does. Transferring NFT between platforms is native functionality. I can't get the full patent to download.

Yeah because they saw Xbox is getting burnt alive earlier that morning and they decided to add a power point slide the last minute to save their asses from getting butchered alive as well.

And when the crowed cheered for the slide of allowing used games, they made a small video 2 after mocking MS on shared games by trading disc.

Obviously this is my guess . But this is Sony, if MS didn't have a back lash they would have been there too. So don't act like they are angels lol

 

[DGrayson]

They should turn their ps1-ps3 games into nfts then they will always have backwards compatibility!

I know you're attempting to seem like you remember what happened so you can make this post, but you clearly don't.

The patent leaked 1 week after the Xbox reveal which was before e3.

No it wasn't at the last second. Used games was an issue since the original reveal.

It's like Digital Pokemon cards, but for gaming.
