Sony has announced PlayStation Stars, a new customer loyalty programme which will launch later this year.
Access is open to all PlayStation owners, with additional benefits for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
If you’re familiar with the Xbox’s Microsoft Rewards scheme – well, this is a rough equivalent, with a couple of intriguing differences.
PlayStation owners will acquire reward points by logging on and completing certain activities, which can then be redeemed for PSN wallet funds and other PlayStation Store products.
If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you’ll also earn loyalty points on purchases made via the PlayStation Store.
Certain activities will also reward you with “digital collectibles”, which Sony describes as “digital representations of things that PlayStation fans enjoy, including figurines of beloved and iconic characters from games and other forms of entertainment, as well as cherished devices that tap into Sony’s history of innovation”.
