No additional rewards or campaigns will be available after that time. Players will still be able redeem their PlayStation Stars rewards until November 2, 2026. Sony also assured players that they will still be able to access their digital collectibles, “even after these changes take place.”
Throughout the announcement, Sony refers to “this version” of PlayStation Stars while adding that it will “evaluate our key findings from this program” and “explore new ways to evolve our loyalty program efforts for the future.” Sony also thanked all of the players who participated in PlayStation Stars.
