PlayStation Stars members who spent money in the PlayStationStore over the holidays are beginning to receive the Stars points they should've earned. Normally, PlayStation Stars members are rewarded with PS Stars points every time they make a purchase on PlayStation.
Recently, PlayStation Stars users widely reported that they weren't receiving Stars points in exchange for spending money in the PlayStation store. Naturally, this led to plenty of confusion and frustration among PlayStation Stars members since no one wants to miss out on Stars points, which can be exchanged for free games or PlayStation store currency. Some users had spent hundreds of dollars only to receive zero points in return. Fortunately, it seems that PlayStation has begun to roll out a solution.
Pushsquare reported that users are now receiving the Stars points they should've been given over the last month or so. This seems to be a gradual rollout rather than a blanket update, so if fans still don't see the Stars points in their account, they should hopefully show up soon. During the time frame that Stars points were bugged, plenty of PlayStation Stars members made purchases to take advantage of PlayStation's holiday sales, so this is an update that will probably bring relief to many PlayStation users. Users can contact PlayStation support if they fail to receive their points over the coming days.
PlayStation Stars members can currently exchange their Stars points for an assortment of high-quality games such as Stardew Valley, Cuphead, Risk of Rain, Exit the Gungeon, and more. All of the previously listed games require at least 2,500 points, so players will need to save plenty of points to unlock them for free.
Also, PlayStation Stars members can exchange Stars points for store credit, requiring 1,250 points for $5 or 5,000 points for $20. Users are awarded roughly ten points for every dollar spent in the PlayStation store. Alternatively, users can earn points by completing «Campaigns,» which can be completed by buying or playing certain games. Some Campaigns also reward players with digital collectibles. January 2024's digital collectibles include a retro lunch box, a snow globe, and more. However, the PlayStation Stars program isn't the only benefit that PlayStation users can take advantage of.
PlayStation Plus members can enjoy a variety of multiplayer games at no extra cost in January 2024. This lineup includes titles like Dead by Daylight, The Elder Scrolls Online, The Division 2, Civilization 6, For Honor, and more.
