List of gaming NFC platforms
This list of Gaming Near field communication (NFC) Platforms provides an overview of the uses of NFC in gaming.
Currently, games have leveraged NFC in unlocking additional features through payment. This takes the form of a direct transaction over NFC[1] or by purchasing a physical item, which signals to the platform that a certain set of features has been purchased (e.g. Skylanders). This list catalogues Gaming NFC Platforms by device.
