Ubisoft Might Be The First Major Games Company To Geek Out Over Blockchain

It's already well-theorized that it's not cryptocurrency or decentralized finance apps, but gaming that will actually drive blockchain use cases in the real world.

A new partnership between old playersBut that's about to change in the wake of Ubisoft's partnership with Ultra, a DLT-driven gaming platform that might be fairly described as Steam on the blockchain.

Users can earn digital currency, buy games, and resell them.

Ubisoft is the mainstream gaming giant responsible for the Assassin's Creed franchise, Far Cry, and a whole range of other commercial hits.

The company knows how to make and market games that people actually play, and they know how to do it exceptionally well.

The professional, at-scale approach to game development within a blockchain paradigm isn't exactly common.

Most blockchain games nowadays are by passion project developers or small-scale commercial enterprises.

Perhaps due to the technology's association with regulatory uncertainty, game developer heavyweights are mostly keeping blockchain at arm's length.

It is also not too great a stretch of the imagination to hypothesize that Ubisoft could begin developing blockchain-dependent games for the Ultra platform.

Ubisoft is lending its hardware and credibility in support of a new crypto gaming project.
