Currently a high social credit score lets you unlock in-game perks. However, as Ahmad points out, there’s a possibility credit scores will become associated with Tencent’s credit system in the future – with a poor credit score resulting in users being banned from certain services.
Tencent is currently the largest videogame company in the world by revenue and market value. They also own Riot Games, nearly half of Epic Games, and 12% of Activision Blizzard.
Tencent’s social credit score system is currently only available in China.
