(Ubisoft) Tezos’ XTZ rose up to 40% in 12 hours to an intraday high of $5.85 on news that gaming giant Ubisoft has selected the protocol for its non-fungible token project.
Ubisoft said on December 7 that, starting this week, players will be able to acquire “Digits,” the first NFTs available in a triple-A game, with the beta launch on Windows PC set for December 9.
Ubisoft says it was attracted to the energy-efficient proof-of-stake consensus on the Tezos network in the integration.
The gaming company will launch limited editions of the digits, with a few unique in-game items that can be bought using cryptocurrencies. The editions will first be offered in the US, Germany, Spain, Canada, France, Belgium, Italy, Australia, and Brazil.
An AAA game is produced and distributed by a major publisher, but they do not become bigger than Ubisoft.
XTZ/USD is currently down -8.09%.
