PlayStation Announces Stars Reward Program | GameSpot News

Skate being F2P, ugh, I’m worried now.

Ofcourse good things happen when my tv breaks

Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

so this is basicly the same thing as xbox with their xbox rewards

I get stuff for digital purchases? What if I already bought pretty much every game in the store?

This is my dream come true

The only reason Microsoft Rewards works is because it actually rewards you. And it couldn't do that without Bing. They basically just want you to search Bing to compete with Google. Sony has no such search engine or incentive to actually reward you.

For Playstation Stars to work fairly and well, it surely has to give you rewards retroactively, otherwise if you're into these new rewards and want the rewards and unlockables for a particular game, but have already unlocked the necessary trophies for the reward, you'd have unknowingly locked yourself out of get the reward, meaning that if they're not retroactive, you'd have to create a new profile to unlock them!!

Meaning those that play the most would effectively be punished for their existing actions!

And speaking as someone who created their PS profile when PSN launched, I don't want to have to restart from scratch!! 🤔😯😂 .

Very interesting. I hope the stars are better than the coins Nintendo gives you.

But question is, will this program be for Playstation 4 and Playstation 5?

So there like NFTs, but worse!

Would be cool if we got exclusive Themes for getting trophies like Persona 5 Royal

Typical Sony finally catching up to the rest of the industry. 🙄 when you gonna start making PS5’s again? Hopefully this isn’t a half foot in like the backwards compatibility, and everything else.

Oh how awesome Sony’s digital rewards aren’t NFTs so instead of them having value and being able to be sold or traded for the benefit of the player they are literally useless. I’ll never understand these bad NFT takes. It’s not a “win” for things to have no value for the player.

This is all "good news" coated is a scheme to make more money. Just sad.

Skate being free to play kills me, I can already see the about a month after the game comes out “Unlock the lazar flip trick and a red baker skateboard for only $2.99” and every skateboard being a buyable cosmetic

Does playstation stars backtrack with my already owned tropies?

Stars is basically just Xbox reward program. Good that Sony are doing the same. It's good for business, ties people into purchasing subs. Rewarding people for staying sub. You can get £5-10 on Xbox without doing anything. I get at least £50 a year. I do all the challenges that are not game specific. Xbox run special ones worth £2-5 each. No specific game required.

They should just sell physical Platin trophies for people, who achive them

The only true Shaggy is Casey Kasem.

The PlayStation Stars program is a huge step in next gen gaming. Adding currency that will go to your PlayStation wallet for just playing a game sounds crazy. Like something i would see in 2030 or 2040.
