📄 Sony Files for ‘Super Fungible’ Gaming Token Patent

Are NFTs and tokens coming to the PlayStation in the not-so-distant future?

Sony has filed for a patent that gives players the ability to transfer their game’s progress and assets to other players by bundling assets together.

The patent does not specify if it would use a public or private blockchain, (a Sony chain as a new gaming layer does sound really exciting though).

Of course, not all patents make it to production. And a shift like this will cause a stir on the financialization and economics of web2 games, but its a great stamp of approval nonetheless.

👥 Heroes of Mavia Reaches 2.6M Monthly Active Users

No blockchain elements have been integrated in the game yet, but land NFTs are expected to be the first.

The collaboration also involves the open-world shooter, Phantom Galaxies, where NFTs from the game will be made accessible on the αU marketplace.
