French video game company Ubisoft has announced that it will be releasing the first-ever playable NFTs that users will be able to collect and apply in-game. The new NFTs, which the company is calling 'Digits,' will undergo a beta testing run on December 9, where they will be accessible on the PC version of "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Breakpoint."
As part of the launch, Ubisoft will introduce a new platform called Ubisoft Quartz that will be dedicated to managing and distributing NFTs. For example, players will be able to acquire Digits on Ubisoft Quarts and then use them in video games in several exciting ways. Digits will include items such as helmets, pants, guns, and more.
In addition, Ubisoft has stated that the NFTs will be exclusively available to Ubisoft players who have played at least 100 hours of 'Ghost Recon.' "The idea is to focus on our most engaged players with this first batch," said Ubisoft's Blockchain Business and Product Director, Baptiste Chardon.
