PlayStation Stars – Digital Collectibles First Look PS5 & PS4Subscribe to VGC on YouTube PlayStation Stars will initially be available via the PlayStation App and expand to consoles at a later date. It will be free to join for adult PlayStation Network account holders and won’t require a PlayStation Plus membership, although having one will offer additional benefits. “There are two types of rewards – loyalty points and digital collectibles,” Sony said in a guide published on Wednesday. “Points can be redeemed in a catalog that may include PSN wallet funds, exclusive digital collectibles and select PlayStation Store products. “As an additional benefit, PlayStation Plus members enrolled in PlayStation Stars automatically earn points for purchases on PlayStation Store.” At launch, simply by joining, all members will receive the Star Gazer Telescope. A number of upcoming digital collectibles were revealed in the trailer above, which first aired during a State of Play presentation earlier this month. “Digital collectibles represent the things that PlayStation fans enjoy, including cherished devices that tap into Sony’s broader heritage in consumer electronics,” Grace Chen, PlayStation’s vice president of network advertising, loyalty and licensed merchandise, said at the time. “These first look examples include a scene with Punto the gondolier from Ape Escape 2, PlayStation 3, PocketStation, Toro and Kuro celebrating a birthday, Chord Machine, and Polygon Man.” These collectibles will only be available through PlayStation Stars. “In some instances, collectibles will be provided as a way to commemorate past activities, achievements, or product ownership,” Chen said. “They range in rarity, just like the actual products on which they are based or the effort required to earn them.” Players will be able to arrange collectibles in a virtual display case within the PlayStation App and show them off to friends within their PSN profile.
