‘Way better than I expected’ cheer PS5 owners after finding trick to unlock free gift cards – and rare collectibles too
PLAYSTATION 5 users have taken to social media to praise a feature that rewards them with free gifts.
The PlayStation Stars program was highlighted on a popular Reddit forum called r/playstationstars.
“I had pretty low expectations for PlayStation Stars when I first heard about it.
“After all we already have trophies and why would I care about some strange rewards I can look at on the phone?
“But the implementation has far exceeded my expectations.
“The fact that they are actually giving us real PlayStation currency value is a nice surprise, but my favorite part is how they’re celebrating PlayStations history and our involvement in it!” one user wrote.
“It is pretty cool and I see it as a bonus. The $5 store credit here and there is good too!” another replied.
Other users also confirmed that they had received a free $5 gift card via PlayStation Stars.
PlayStation Stars is a loyalty program that gamers can sign up for.
It allows gamers the chance to earn limited-release digital collectibles or points.
“By joining PlayStation Stars, you can use your gaming skills to collect unique digital collectibles and earn rewards.
“Complete campaigns, earn points and show off your collectibles in a digital display case on PlayStation App as a way of celebrating your love of play and PlayStation experiences,” the PlayStation website explains.
Another bonus is that PlayStation Stars is completely free to join.
You will need a PS5 or PS4 console and the PS app.
If you don’t have those consoles you won’t be able to compete in the challenges and win the prizes that make the loyalty program so popular.
All you need to do to start winning is take part in a PlayStation Stars campaign.
“PlayStation Stars will run periodic campaigns – make sure your account settings are ‘opted-in’ to receive marketing messages about upcoming campaigns,” the website explains.
