It looks like Ubisoft are officially the first gaming publishers to implement NFTs in their AAA games. Of course, the discourse surrounding NFTs in video games has been a controversial topic since it was announced, with many for and against it. With Digits, items are no longer bound to a player’s game inventory since they can be put on sale for other eligible players to acquire on third-party platforms outside of the Ubisoft ecosystem.

Control: Each Digit comes with a certificate of ownership stored on blockchain, a decentralised, community-driven technology independent from Ubisoft, which grants players more control than ever.

As playable cosmetic items, Digits provide players the ability to personalise their experience and complete their missions with style.

Playability: Digits are high-quality in-game collectibles with active utility value.

Uniqueness: Each Digit is a unique collectible that features its own serial number for others to see in-game, also keeping track of its current and previous owners for years to come, making players an integral part of the game’s history.

Ubisoft detailed how these Digits will work via the Quartz platform: READ MORE PlayStation Creates Food Inspired By Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted and More Ghost Recon Breakpoint players who use Ubisoft Connect via PC will start receiving free Digits drops on 9 December, 12 December, and 15 December as a reward for early adopters. However, it’s not available in South Africa yet. Ubisoft Quartz will become available this Thursday, 9 December for the USA, Canada, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Australia, and Brazil. Breakpoint players on PC will be the first to receive random free Digits drops thereafter.

The Quartz beta will roll out later this week for select regions. Ubisoft have announced a new platform called Ubisoft Quartz that will allow players to acquire Digits, the first NFTs available in a AAA game yet, starting with Ghost Recon Breakpoint.
