Yesterday, Ubisoft announced Ubisoft Quartz, an NFT initiative which allows players to buy artificially rare digital items in-game, using a bespoke cryptocurrency. According to the press release, by using Ubisoft Quartz players can purchase “Digits”. “Digits” are items such as in-game weapons, vehicles and cosmetic items. Players can acquire these via limited drops and can either collect or sell them, via crypto wallets. The items have serial numbers to validate their unique or limited status. Ubisoft Quartz utilises Tezos, a proof-of-stake currency. Ubisoft plans to launch Quartz in Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint on December 9th, 2021. The first three of the “Digit” drops will be free to players who then sign up to the service via the company’s app. These items will be limited-time in their availability.
