The PlayStation Stars virtual collectibles will tie into Sony’s vast legacy.
As part of the PlayStation Stars loyalty program, PS5 and PS4 players will be able to earn rewards in the form of virtual collectibles that pay homage to the PlayStation brand or electronic products from the Japanese multinational Sony Corporation, such as the scene with Punto (the gondolier from Ape Escape). 2), PS3, PocketStation, Toro and Kuro celebrating a birthday, Chord Machine or even Polygon Man.
Grace Chen, VP of Network Advertising, Loyalty and Licensed Merchandise at Sony Interactive Entertainment, said:
Made exclusively for PlayStation Stars, these virtual collectibles are exclusive to our loyalty program. Some of them may be offered to mark past actions, successes, or the acquisition of certain items. Like the products they represent or the effort required to obtain them, some collectibles are rarer than others. You will be able to display your collectibles in a virtual showcase available within the PlayStation app, which you can display on your PSN profile to share your collection with friends. While we are planning different ways to get collectibles, the main one will be completing campaigns.
PlayStation Star Campaigns
To get your hands on these famous non-NFT virtual collectibles, players will have to participate in campaigns.
In one of our very first campaigns, Press Play 1994, members of the PlayStation Stars loyalty program will be required to launch games that match music cues. Those who succeed will receive a special collectible.
PlayStation Stars will debut sometime in September
The PlayStation Stars loyalty program will roll out on the PlayStation app (and later on consoles) over the next few weeks in Asia, including Japan and South Korea. North America, South America and Europe will follow.
