Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced they’re shutting down their PlayStation Stars rewards program, a few years after its debut.
Starting today, the program is no longer accepting new members and there will be no new reward campaigns after July 23rd. The program was originally launched for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 back in September 2022.
“Since launching the program, we’ve learned a lot from evaluating the types of activities our players respond best to, and as a company, we are always evolving with player and industry trends,” said Vice President, Network Advertising, Loyalty & Licensed Merchandise Grace Chen. “Through this evaluation, we have decided to refocus our efforts and will be winding down the current version of PlayStation Stars. We will continue to evaluate our key findings from this program, and are looking into ways to build upon these learnings.”
Members of the PlayStation Stars program will still be able to access their Digital Collectibles even after the program is shut down entirely.
Here are key dates and details for the program shutting down:
- Starting today, PlayStation Stars will no longer accept new members for this version of the program.
- If members choose to cancel their PlayStation Stars membership starting today, it will not be possible to rejoin this version of the program, and members will lose all earned Points.
- Current PlayStation Stars members can still earn Digital Collectibles, Points and level up their status until July 23, 2025 at 7:59AM PDT | 3:59PM BST | 11:59PM JST. After this date, there will be no new PlayStation Stars Campaigns available, or any additional rewards or status benefits to earn.
- This version of the PlayStation Stars program will fully end on November 2, 2026 and current PlayStation Stars members can continue to redeem Points as long as their Points don’t expire before then.
