How does the program work?

With PlayStation Stars, you earn rewards by completing a variety of campaigns and activities. Our “Monthly Check-In” campaign simply asks you to play any game to receive a reward. Other campaigns will ask you to earn specific trophies, or even be among the first players to achieve a successful title in their country/region. One of our first campaigns is called “Hit Play/1994” where members who successfully launch games that match song-based clues receive a special collectible.

Campaigns are updated regularly, so check the PlayStation app to see new campaigns.

What rewards can I earn?

There are two types of rewards: loyalty points and digital collectibles. Points can be redeemed into a catalog which may include PSN wallet funds, exclusive digital collectibles and select PlayStation Store merchandise. As an added benefit, PlayStation Plus members who sign up for PlayStation Stars automatically earn points for PlayStation Store purchases.

Digital collectibles are beautifully rendered, digital representations of things 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 be new collectibles to earn regularly, ultra-rare collectibles to seek out, or something surprising to collect just for fun.

Digital collectibles you earn or acquire can be displayed on a display case in the PlayStation app. You can also configure the storefront to be seen by others, if you wish.

At launch, upon simple membership, all members will receive the Star Gazer telescope. We will have Punto the gondolier from Ape escape 2PocketStation, Toro, and Kuro celebrate, and more, as some of the first digital collectibles members can earn or acquire.

Are digital collectibles unique? Can I sell or trade my digital collectibles?

These digital collectibles are created solely for our loyalty program, and while some may be rare, they are not one of a kind and do not take advantage of blockchain technology. They cannot be resold or exchanged. Digital collectibles can only be earned or acquired through PlayStation Stars.

How do I know the rarity of a digital collectible?

The rarity of a digital collectible can be found on the campaign details screen and on the collectible’s details page.

How do I track and redeem my points?

Your points balance can be found on the PlayStation App under your player profile / PlayStation Stars points history. Points can be used to redeem items in your rewards catalog, which may include digital collectibles, games, or digital PSN wallet funds.

To redeem your points, go to PlayStation App > Player Profile > Playstation Stars > Rewards Catalog.
