PlayStation Stars Rewards Program Shutting Down, Sony Confirms
After signing up to the service, PS5 and PS4 users were able to earn digital collectibles by completing challenges, which could be displayed on their Profile page. In addition, reward points were earned from buying digital games on the PS Store, which could be exchanged for full games or PS Store credit. There won’t be any more rewards uploaded to PS Stars after 23rd July of this year.
PS Stars always flew under the radar, but the PS Store credit rewards it offered were a nice benefit to redeem every so often. The options mysteriously disappeared from the service last year, but then reappeared a month later. PS Stars was mainly tied to the PS App on smartphones and was never properly integrated into the console UI.
“We want to thank all of our players for supporting PlayStation Stars since the launch in 2022,” Sony said. “As we explore new ways to evolve our loyalty program efforts for the future, we’ll continue to celebrate all of our players through the various community activities we have planned.”
Sony isn’t actually the only company to shut its rewards system down, as Nintendo has also recently closed its Gold Points system ahead of Switch 2 releasing.
