Ubisoft Quartz is a new platform that offers NFTs called Digits for their favorite games.
The Digits are part of a trial process at the moment, as Ubisoft looks for a way to increase the value of in-game items.
To begin with, these Digits will release as part of limited editions, with a fixed amount of items available and players limited to one per edition.
Ubisoft promises playable and energy-efficient NFTs, making them available on the Tezos Proof of Stake blockchain.
Ubisoft say that a single Quartz transaction will consume the equivalent energy of a 30 second streamed video, whereas one Bitcoin transaction consumes 1 year.
Once you own the NFT, you can choose to hold onto it or even gift or sell it to another player.
You can earn three Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint NFTs by playing the game on Connect for Windows on December 9, December 12, and December 15.
You must be 18-years-old, have reached level 5, and live in the US, Spain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Australia, Belgium, or Brazil.
If you miss out on these first drops, Ubisoft has already promised more NFTs early 2022.
WHAT ARE NFTS?
An NFT (Non-fungible token) is a unique digital collectible item: a GIF, tweet, emote, music, image, game code, video, or in-game cosmetic item.
The value of an NFT is that you solely own that digital item.

VALVE BAN BLOCKCHAIN AND CRYPTOCURRENCY GAMES FROM STEAM
Ubisoft is not the only publisher considering the impact of cryptocurrency in their games.
Recently, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney revealed that Epic is open to the idea of blockchain technology but also admitted that NFTs are targeted for scams.
In their latest earnings call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson revealed that NFTs and play-to-earn games are the industry’s future, and they are looking for a way to make it work.
What’s interesting amongst all of this is that Valve recently banned games that use cryptocurrency and NFTs from Steam.
With Ubisoft’s new move and others looking to benefit, will Steam change its policy, and can we see the Steam marketplace become a blockchain hub in the future?
