PlayStation Stars is a loyalty program that Sony is pushing for PlayStation gamers. It is like a program that incentivizes players to play or buy select games to complete campaigns.
The campaigns revolve around getting trophies, buying games from the PlayStation Store, and seeing new features that the PlayStation offers. The PlayStation Stars program will enhance what you can do but won’t interfere with events like State of Play or community challenges.
Despite its similarity to Microsoft Rewards, PlayStation Stars only applies to PlayStation products and does not apply to other Sony products.
