Sony has published a comprehensive overview of its new device playstation stars program for PS . BlogCovers everything you need to know. Launching today across Asia, the program will roll out to North and South America on October 5, 2022, and then get it to Europe eight days later on October 13, 2022. The service is completely free to join, and you don’t need to PS Plus Sign up to register. Although active membership provides additional benefits.
By registering, which is done on the PlayStation app, you will have the ability to earn the following rewards:
- loyalty points – Can be exchanged for PSN Wallet funds and select PS Store products
- digital collectibles Described as “a beautiful digital representation of things PlayStation fans enjoy, including figurines of beloved and iconic characters from games and other forms of entertainment, as well as cherished hardware that capitalizes on Sony’s history of innovation.”
It is important to emphasize again: These digital collectibles are not NFTs. Sony says they are “created for our loyalty program only, and while some of them may be rare, they are not unique and do not benefit from blockchain technology. They cannot be resold or traded. Digital collectibles can only be acquired or Obtained through PlayStation Stars”.
To earn points, you will need to complete certain tasks, such as playing a game or winning prizes. “One of our first campaigns is called ‘Hit Play/1994’ where members who correctly launch games that match song-based clues receive special collectibles.” Once you join PS Stars, you will instantly earn a collectible Star Gazer Telescope.
For starters, PS Stars are accessed through the PlayStation app, where they will also display the collectibles you earn. Sony plans to launch the service on PS5 and PS4 in the future as well. You will also redeem the points you earn through the app.
As an added benefit for PS Plus subscribers (any category that doesn’t seem to matter), you’ll earn extra points for purchasing games and products from the PS Store. Split into four status levels, the more you interact with the program, the more benefits and rewards you will receive.
