Ubisoft launched its NFT platform called Ubisoft Quartz a few weeks ago, putting it into practice in the Tom Clany's Ghost Recon Breakpoint game. Despite criticism from users they went ahead with the launch of Quartz, and are selling some cosmetic skins and weapon skins with unique serial numbers like NFT.
Over the weekend, Apex Legends character artist Liz Edwards shared some screenshots on Twitter tracking Ubisoft Quartz's NFT sales. You looked at the two third-party marketplaces that connect to Quartz, and all indications are that Ghost Recon Breakpoint's NFT sales have generated less than $ 400 in sales so far.
Ubisoft hasn't generated much interest in its NFTs
Apparently Ubisoft has minted roughly 2.256 NFTs to date, far less than total sales. This process can be expensive and it appears that Ubisoft has spent more on minting its collection of NFTs than it has recovered from sales so far, and regardless of the money Ubisoft has already spent developing the platform.
Currently, to obtain certain NFTs through Ubisoft Quartz, it is necessary to link your Ubisoft account and have a certain number of hours in supported games. For example, some NFTs can only be claimed by players with more than 650 hours in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, and once you have that NFT, it has very little resale value afterwards. So far, it appears that there have only been 15 sales in total.
Ubisoft has not said anything publicly about Quartz, about the negative reception it has received or about its current performance. All that is known is that, for now, Ubisoft plans to integrate NFTs and its Quartz platform with more games in the future, as well as expanding the platform to support more countries to see if they generate more interest. Although these plans may change if the development is too expensive for the benefits they could have.
