AAA game studio Ubisoft (which recently announced exploration of blockchain tech) has launched its Quartz platform for NFTS.
Quartz is calling the NFTs "Digits" - referring to the mint or "serial number" of the token. Leveraging Tezos, Quartz is also heavily leaning on the eco-friendly nature of the blockchain - equating the transaction impact to streaming 30 seconds of video. External wallets are supported it appears, though it's not possible to link with the service unless you have two factor authentication enabled and have reached Level 5 in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint on the PC (console gamers aren't supported at this point in time). Given the separate Ubisoft account structure, it's possible for console players to be supported - effectively linking a Tezos wallet to Quartz, and authenticating via an Ubisoft login (though how platforms would react to that is unclear).
It's not entirely unexpected that they'd integrate cosmetics as NFTs, it is a bit surprising they're choosing Ghost Recon: Breakpoint for the launch - given the game's mediocre reviews.
Quartz is scheduled to have its first drop on December 9th, 2021 1:00PM EST with a free limited Ghost Recon: Breakpoint NFT.
