Sony subsidiary Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has applied for NFT-related patents to allow consumers to use NFTs within and outside the Sony ecosystem, such as its own PlayStation and game consoles "made by competitors such as Microsoft or Nintendo."

Sony said in its filing that “NFTs are provided to users so that digital assets can be used on multiple different computer simulation platforms through NFTs, and ownership of NFTs may subsequently be transferred to other users for use on different platforms.” (The Block)
