Tron, one of the largest blockchain-based gaming operating systems in the world, announced an upcoming partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment, in a deal that will see Tron provide the company with its blockchain and expertise to enable in-game purchases, trading of in-game items, and facilitate fast, cross-border payments on top of the Tron infrastructure.
“When building a game, the gaming experience is at the center of all we do,” said Jim Ryan, CEO, and President at Sony. “Therefore, we want to make all value-related transactions as smooth as possible, at low cost without sacrificing the benefits of blockchain. That’s why we decided to partner with the Tron Foundation to use their blockchain ecosystem for further gaming development.”
The major challenge that blockchain-based gaming companies are faced with are problems with scalability and high transaction costs. Therefore, the team at Sony decided to start trialing the Tron blockchain for potential improvement of user experience. The Tron blockchain offers fast transactions at low cost, surpassing the transactions per second of Ethereum.
Sony will use the Tron blockchain to facilitate in-game payments, bringing existing game items on-chain, and is considering offering some of these items through the newly developed, official Tron-based NFT marketplace built in collaboration with DeFine.
