Activision Blizzard’s Bold Move into Blockchain: A New Era for Game Item Sharing

Activision Publishing, a subsidiary of gaming giant Activision Blizzard, has secured a significant patent that could revolutionize how we interact with virtual game items. The patent, filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office under the name “System and Method for Providing Conditional Access to Virtual Game Items,” outlines a novel method for players to share in-game items on a conditional basis.

This cutting-edge technology permits players to temporarily grant access to their rare, permanently owned in-game items to other players, potentially enhancing the gaming experience. Furthermore, this system not only ensures effective tracking and linking of specific players and items but also emphasizes the need for a controlled and selective access structure for these virtual goods.
