Sony Patents 'Super-Fungible Tokens' for Potential NFT Gaming Assets on PlayStation

Sony filed a patent for "super-fungible tokens" to allow transferable in-game assets stored on a blockchain ledger. This suggests Sony may enable NFTs in PlayStation games.

The patent refers to a "distributed ledger" associated with gaming apps, implying Sony may launch its own blockchain or use an existing public blockchain.

Super-fungible tokens would bundle various in-game NFT assets like skins and weapons that players could uniquely own and trade.

This follows an earlier Sony patent related to cross-game NFT asset transfers, though notes consoles currently lack adequate technology.

It's unclear if or when Sony might implement this, but the patent filings signal interest in blockchain gaming and player-owned NFT game assets.
