Hey is not the only one “
The new service, which is scheduled to be launched “later this year,” there will be no fees to join and there will be outside the family subscribed to Playstation Plus. Playstation stars, as described faintly in the announcement of Sony Thursday, revolves around the concept of connected concept, but on his face, basically resembles a Microsoft gift system in the Modern Xbox Console family. TL version; Dr: Get digital prizes to play video games.
Playstation Stars members can play certain PlayStation console games to complete “campaigns” and “activities”, even though only the campaign described in Thursday’s announcement. This revolves around the tasks as simple as playing certain games in a particular month to more dedicated tasks such as collecting a special playstation trophy or even getting the first opening of the “Platinum” trophy that is difficult to achieve from games in that size as much time zone. As explained, this campaign can correlate with games that are tied to the PlayStation Plus service – like how Microsoft gives awards to support the title of the Xbox Game Pass.
If you complete the campaign and activities in PlayStation Stars, you can expect at least two types of prizes. ” The first is explained today, dubbed “Loyalty Points,” can be spent for “catalog” digital offers, and this includes credit for purchasing the PlayStation network or the exchange of exchanges for PSN products “Select” like games. And I have mentioned the second type of prize, dubbed a digital collection, which sounds suspicious like NFT in the initial announcement of Sony:
In a statement that was removed to Ars Technica, Sie Aram Jabbari’s senior public relations manager clarified that this was not NFT. “This digital collection is made only for our loyalty program, and while some people can be rare, they are not the only one, nor do they use blockchain technology,” Jabbari wrote.
Thus, as explained, this digital collection might resemble a more ancient approach in the game world, where 3D cosmetics objects can be displayed after doing something unique or challenging in video games without any financial system that adds to artificial scarcity. PlayStation 5’s Pack-in Video Game Astro’s Playroom has included a similar system, because this game includes a 3D model that cannot be opened from a longer Playstation hardware as a trinkets in a secret game, no need to purchase. (Talking about PS5: Jabbari refuses to clarify whether the Playstation star will function in all Playstation console families or whether it will be locked to a newer PlayStation 5 console.)
Should we expect “Dylanfts” in the near future?
ARS Technica readers may be used to many, many, many, many tones related to NFT from modern game companies. (Many.) If you need more information about this topic, my ARS colleagues Kyle Orland have written a long guide about video games and hiling related assets on the blockchain.
Sie has been careful not to suggest that concepts such as NFT or the destruction of blockchain come to PlayStation Console or service, but the Sony’s parent company has found other ways to invest in concepts. The biggest came in the form of an $ 1 billion investment in the epic game, which was explained by Chairman Sony Kenichiro Yoshida at that time as an opportunity “to deepen our relationship in the field of Metaverse.” The statement also mentioned other initiatives such as digital video production, thus paralyzing the dollar equation for the right dollar about how many Sony invests in the Blockchain content related to games.
At least one other Sony division is much bolder about attaching directly to NFT as a commercial concept. In March, Sony Music partnered with Bob Dylan’s Son to Mint NFTS based on Dylan’s work, although at the time of the press, the service did not suggest that the digital goods (Dylanfts?) Would be sold in the near future.
