Unexpectedly, a few moments ago it was revealed PlayStation Stars, a new loyalty system. Here, users will be able to earn rewards by completing certain challenges. Although details are scarce, mention is made of digital collectibles. It is so many worried that PlayStation was experimenting with NFTs. Fortunately, this is not the case.
Through an interview with The Washington Post, Grace Chen, vice president of network advertising, shared more details about the rewards that PlayStation Stars offers. It was here where the executive claimed that digital collectibles are not NFT. This is what he mentioned about it:
“[Los coleccionables digitales son] some 3D rendered representations of things like character figurines and old Sony devices. Some will be very rare and difficult to obtain.
They are definitely not NFTs. Definitely not. You cannot trade or sell them. It’s not leveraging any blockchain technology and they’re definitely not NFTs.”
Considering the interest that companies like Ubisoft and Square Enix have shown in this market, the public’s concern on this occasion was more than justified. Nevertheless, this is not the case with PlayStation, and the company at the moment has not revealed any type of plan related to this market. You can learn more about PlayStation Stars here. Similarly, new games come to PlayStation Plus.
Editor’s note:
It is good to see that not all companies are interested in NFTs. While it is possible that Sony intends to enter this market, it is clear that these are not its plans with PlayStation Stars, which is refreshing at present.
