No video game console maker has publicly embraced NFTs to date, but tech giant Sony—the firm behind the massively popular PlayStation brand—continues making moves behind the scenes, as revealed by its latest NFT-related patent application.

The application, submitted in September 2021 in the United States and published last week, outlines Sony’s intentions to create standardized digital infrastructure that would allow gamers to own and transfer digital NFT assets across various video game platforms.

“The standardized format may be readable to insert the digital asset in different computer simulations that may include different video games of different titles,” the application reads. “Additionally, or alternatively, […] readable via different video game platforms such as, for example, PlayStation and Xbox.”

Sony proposed that these assets could include items such as in-game skins, artwork, avatars, weapons, or even “video game skills.” Additionally, the application proposed that they could be “connected over a network” from PlayStation to consoles from other makers, as well as via VR and AR headsets, smart TVs, and mobile devices. 

As of the end of 2022, Sony claimed to have 112 million PlayStation Network users. The network includes online-connected players on the PlayStation 5, as well as older console and handheld hardware.
