PlayStation Stars Will Receive NFT Digital Collectibles - Here's A First Look

Sony held a State of Play event where it gave a glimpse of the first “digital collectibles” that will be offered as rewards for the PlayStation Stars loyalty program. However, Sony has insisted that these collectibles are not non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Digital collectibles for the PlayStation Stars loyalty program

In the event, Sony insisted that these digital collectibles are neither NFTs nor are they created on the blockchain. Instead, the collectibles are virtual statues of devices such as PlayStation 3 and the PocketStation PDA gaming device. The collectibles can also represent characters from games such as Ape Escape 2 and mascots like Polygon Man.

The PlayStation Stars program was unveiled during the summer. At the time, Sony said members would earn points and digital collectibles. The earned points could be used to buy products from the PlayStation Store or go towards in-game purchases.

Those who want to earn points and digital collectibles must participate in campaigns such as participating in tournaments or playing games. A blog post on Tuesday mentioned that one of the initial campaigns would be dubbed “Hit Play/1994”. In this campaign, games will be launched depending on song clues, with more details about it expected to be launched soon.

According to Sony, the program will be released in some regions in Asia towards the end of this month. The program will later be rolled out in the US and Europe. The program will not be available on PlayStation during the initial stages. Instead, it will be rolled out through the PlayStation app on Android and iOS.

The insistence of Sony that these digital collectibles are not NFTs is a reflection of the cold attitude that some traditional gaming companies have against blockchain-based gaming. The blockchain gaming ecosystem is set to replace traditional gaming soon as gamers look to become part of the game and earn real-world rewards.

NFT gaming platforms disrupt traditional gaming

Thecrypto gamesecosystem is growing, and three blockchain gaming ecosystems have stood out: Lucky Block, Battle Infinity, and Tamadoge.

Lucky Block’s native token, LBLOCK, has emerged as one of the most promising tokens to invest in because of the stable gaming foundation offered by Lucky Block. Lucky Block is an NFT competition platform launched this year and is planning to dominate the gaming market. Lucky Block has daily jackpot draws and NFT tournaments where players can buy tickets and unlock various prizes.

Another great blockchain gaming project that is also setting the pace is Battle Infinity. Battle Infinity is a fantasy NFT sports platform that allows players to be part of teams and earn rewards depending on players’ performance during the season. Fantasy sports have become quite popular because of boosting fan interaction.

The Tamadoge NFT gaming platform is also attracting attention because of its successful presale, which has raised $16 million in a little over a month. The Tamadoge gaming ecosystem allows players to buy Tamadoge pets in the form of NFTs and use the pets to battle against other players.

As seen from the unique offerings of each gaming ecosystem, the NFTs are built within the game, not in a loyalty program. This makes it quite easy for the players to be part of the game as they own a piece of it.

Virgin Dracula
Uh, hi! I'm Virgin Dracula. I've never told anyone this, but I once clawed a dog. It wasn't heavily publicized, but I once had a brief relationship with Snagglepuss. Can you make my prickly dreams come true?

Ethboy
Young Vitalik takes on the role of Picasso’s son Paulo dressed as Harlequin in this artwork but the octahedron Ethereum logo replaces the chequered pattern of the original jester outfit. Leaning against a large chair, the boy genius fiddles with his fingers in a somewhat nervous manner; nevertheless, he stares directly at the viewer with what appears to be a confident, ‘Mona Lisa-like’ smile. Vitalik has no idea what the future has in store for him, but he’s prepared to face any obstacle ahead as he begins life's adventure.
Beautiful Worlds
Welcome to the ‘Beautiful worlds’ where nature and technology have merged into a single entity. These are Ai generated and hand finished visions of solarpunk future in which I would really like our future generations to live and prosper: the future we might have if we took the very “alternative route” which now lies before us: replacing states and corporations which free federations of communities and cooperatives, using decentralist and ecological technologies to create a world beyond economic scarcity and social hierarchy, defined by autonomy, mutual aid, diversity, and inclusiveness. The long-term goals of solarpunk are freedom and well-being for all by adopting and developing such ecological technologies as: solar, wind, wave and geothermal energy rather than oil or gas to generate electricity; a world of decentralized eco-cities, permaculture and vertical farming, free and open-source software, open-source hardware, small-scale fabrication laboratories, micro-manufacturing, 3D-printing, and countless examples of commons-based peer-production online: meeting the maximum amount of needs, in the shortest time, using the minimum possible amount of energy. It’s a world of decentralized and confederated eco-communities, using technology for human-centric and eco-centric ends rather than for accumulating power and profit – mending the metabolic rift between first nature (the natural world) and second nature (human culture) – and where social hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability are considered horror stories from the past “oil age”. Solarpunk desires societies of polycultural ethnic diversity and gender liberation, where each person is able to actualize themselves in societal environment of free experimentation and communal caring; This philosophy proposes that in order for the social and natural worlds to reconcile, humans must first transform their relations to each other – recreating society along egalitarian, cooperative, and democratic lines – and then transform their relations towards nature – adopting an attitude to cooperation, rather than domination, towards the planet and its nonhuman forms of life.
