Sony has taken a step into the blockchain industry by launching Soneium, a network based on Ethereum. This could lead to changes in gaming, film, and music sectors.

What is Soneium?

Soneium is a permissionless Ethereum-based network designed to enhance user experiences across various industries. According to Sota Watanabe, Director of Sony Block Solutions Labs, Soneium could onboard 'ordinary people' into the crypto world by integrating blockchain into everyday applications.

Gaming on Soneium: A New Frontier for PlayStation?

While Soneium's website lists gaming as a key consumer application, Sony has not confirmed plans to integrate blockchain into the PlayStation ecosystem. However, the potential is significant. Iconic PlayStation franchises like God of War, Uncharted, and Gran Turismo could use Soneium for digital assets and NFTs.

We’re excited about the possibilities blockchain technology brings to gaming, but we don’t have any specific updates to share on that front.Sony BLS Spokesperson

Sony’s Blockchain Journey: From Patents to Soneium

Sony's interest in blockchain isn't new. The company has previously filed patents for tracking in-game assets using NFTs and creating 'super-fungible tokens'. This suggests Sony has been exploring blockchain integration well before Soneium's launch.

Sony's launch of the Soneium network signals new opportunities for blockchain integration across multiple media platforms. While specific plans to integrate Soneium into PlayStation games have not been announced, the potential for innovation is evident.
