Similar to the rewards on Xbox. Pretty cool.

Throughout our company’s 27-year history, we have been continually moved by how meaningful gaming experiences can create fond, lifelong memories for players. All of us at PlayStation take special joy in creating unique products and experiences that delight our fans. This includes everything from our consoles and critically acclaimed games, to community challenges such as Seize the Throne and Treat Codes, to digital and live events including State of Play.

Today, I’m pleased to reveal PlayStation Stars, a brand new loyalty program that celebrates you, the player, for being on this ever growing gaming journey with us. PlayStation Stars will be free to join when it launches later this year. Once you become a member, you’ll earn rewards by completing a variety of campaigns and activities. Our “Monthly Check-In” campaign simply requires you to play any game to receive a reward, while other campaigns require you to win tournaments, earn specific trophies, or even be the first player to platinum a blockbuster title in your local time zone.
All PlayStation Stars members will have opportunities to earn loyalty points. Points can be redeemed in a catalog that may include PSN wallet funds and select PlayStation Store products. As an additional benefit, PlayStation Plus members enrolled in PlayStation Stars automatically earn points for purchases on PlayStation Store.

Also, as part of PlayStation Stars, we are unveiling a new type of reward called “digital collectibles.” Collectibles are as diverse as our portfolio of products and franchises. They are digital representations of things that PlayStation fans enjoy, including figurines of beloved and iconic characters from games and other forms of entertainment, as well as cherished devices that tap into Sony’s history of innovation. There will always be a new collectible to earn, an ultra rare collectible to strive for, or something surprising to collect just for fun.

We hope this new program brings to mind past gaming memories while making you excited for the future with PlayStation: commemorating the gaming eras we created together, charting new paths to explore, and bringing players together for global celebrations. This is just the beginning for PlayStation Stars, and the program will continue to evolve over time. We’re currently doing some early tests on this program before launching it later this year in phased regional rollouts.

We hope you’ll enjoy the program once it launches. We’ll be back with more updates in the future. Thanks for reading!
 
I never noticed how we could use our reward points in the Stars program to redeem PS store credit or games. Pretty cool. I wonder if the games rotate from time to time. I'm close to the $25 one 😄

You should just buy me a game with your points...

I don't even know if I've played enough on PS5 to have anything. My app keeps signing me out and my password is too complicated to remember and I'm just lazy anyway.
 
Xbox rewards - Pretty much limitless.

Playstation Loyalty scheme - Very limited.

Lol.

Can we even do that ? 🧐

What game you want ?

I don't know if you can or not. You can on Xbox. Since having terrible internet until 2020, digital purchases weren't really a thing for me to have any knowledge of. Less than 10 of my 80+ PS4 games are digital...and those are tiny games like Trine.

I was joking by the way. 🤝

The new feature is called PlayStation Stars, and it's basically a loyalty program that allows players to earn points by completing certain activities. These activities range from earning trophies and winning tournaments to simply checking in to play a game. While most of the rewards are naff intangible guff like digital collectibles, it's possible to save up Star Points and use them to get money off games.
However, as the good folk of Reddit have observed, there is a knack to this. Essentially, you always want to use your Star Points to grab store credit, rather than use them to buy the game directly.
One Reddit user quickly did the math, using 2023's excellent indie horror/fishing sim Dredge as the example.
"Dredge is 6250 points, equivalent to ÂŁ25," they wrote. "5000 points nets you a ÂŁ20 store credit. Dredge on the store is ÂŁ19.99 normally, but currently ÂŁ15.99 on offer. Even when it's not on offer, the points conversion still favours grabbing the store credit over the game directly. So basically a quick PSA to say always do the math when it comes to the points rewards from PlayStation Stars."
