Do You Use PS Stars? | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

First announced back in September 2022, PS Stars is essentially Sony's PlayStation rewards scheme, with a few extra bells and whistles attached.

At the time of writing, the service is still missing from the PS5 itself — despite the platform holder saying that there were plans to integrate it on console. Indeed, Stars has been around for a while now — launching soon after its reveal, in October of 2022 — but it's fair to say that the programme hasn't really evolved in the ways that many thought it would.

In fact, 2024's biggest PS Stars headlines stemmed from the service running into technical issues. It was taken offline several times, and its PS Store credit rewards were controversially removed for a period towards the end of the year.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

Yeah I mean I get a free fiver of store credit every so often it's worth it just for that

points for spending money is an ok concept.
but sony ruined it by making your points expire after 12 months.

Yeah. It’s a mess of a program but better than nothing. I wish they just automatically start the campaigns that you buy games for though. I bought Astro back on
