Sony introduces new PlayStation Stars: Cost of entry, potential rewards, and more

sportskeeda.com:

Sony has recently introduced a brand new loyalty program coming to fans of their platforms in the form of PlayStation Stars. Arriving later this year, the company wanted to create something to reward and challenge their fans, but not without rewards.

Players will be able to claim these rewards simply by completing challenges and playing games. To make things better, Sony has revealed what sort of things players should expect when PlayStation Stars comes to life later this year.

Perhaps the best part of PlayStation Stars is that it will be free when it arrives. The upcoming system will have campaigns and activities for players to take part in, much like the “Monthly Check-In” campaign. Some, like the Monthly Check-In, will be easy, but there will be more difficult challenges to take part in as well. This was detailed by Grace Chen, Vice President of Network Advertising, Loyalty, & Licensed Merchandise in her statement:

Clearly, not all of this is going to be attainable by every player, so some will gain loyalty points faster than others. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem like every challenge will be unique, or on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Not every PlayStation owner is on the hunt for Platinum trophies, but being rewarded for it could certainly change players’ minds going forward. This is especially true if it means these rewards could be used to get money off of upcoming games or DLCs.

Completing challenges will earn the player loyalty points, which can be used in a catalog filled with rewards. The PlayStation blog that discussed the PlayStation Stars update discussed potential rewards, which included PSN wallet funds and PlayStation Store products. Furthermore, purchasing items on the PlayStation Store will also earn them
