Sony has announced that it will be adding a new loyalty and rewards program called PlayStation Stars. The program will be free and launch “later this year.” No specific details on the release date have ben given by Sony yet though.
PlayStation players in the Stars program will be eligible to earn rewards via completing tasks known as “campaigns.” For example, earning certain achievements or spending a certain amount of time in a specific title will reward players.
PlayStation Stars is set to be the first loyalty rewards program for the console.
Loyalty points earned in the program can be redeemed for PS Network wallet funds, which can then be used to purchase things as though it were real money. Gamers who have a subscription with Sony’s PlayStation Plus online service will also earn additional points to spend in the PlayStation Store. Those who are not subscribed to PS Plus will not receive this feature.
Points can be redeemed for games, add-ons, or collectibles. Sony is planning on expanding the rewards and campaigns.
