PlayStation Stars Ends Tomorrow Removing Points Earning

Sony is officially winding down its PlayStation Stars loyalty program, which launched in 2022 and rewarded players with points redeemable for free PlayStation Store credit. Users have until July 23, 2025, to earn their final points through purchases and completing campaigns, after which no new points or status benefits will be available, though existing points can still be redeemed until November 2, 2026. The program ceased accepting new users in May 2025 and recently issued its final digital collectible. Sony stated that the decision to end the program reflects an evaluation of player engagement and industry trends, with plans to build upon what was learned. Players are urged to claim any last-minute points during the ongoing PlayStation Summer Sale, as the opportunity to earn points will disappear after the cutoff. This closure contrasts with ongoing promotions on other platforms, such as a Steam giveaway offering $50 in store credit, highlighting varied opportunities for gamers to access discounts and free credit.
