Although this service is in beta, Sony has rolled out this service in North America, South America, and Asia, and the rollout process in these countries is almost done. Users from Europe and Oceania will join the beta program on October 13, 2023,

The fun fact is that you can join PlayStation Stars for absolutely free. After you have joined, if you purchase games from the PlayStation stores or complete campaign missions, you can easily earn store credits for free.

Although this service is now only available on the app, reports confirm Sony will offer it on the console as soon as the whole rollout process is completed.

What to Do with Store Credit?

As of now, there isn’t much indication of how much store credit you will get after completing a campaign mission in the game or by buying an in-store game.

As of now, you can exchange the store credit for digital collectibles as well, which will definitely increase the aura of the digital display of your profile.

Here’s an image of a digital collectible that you can get :

It’s not like you can buy a whole game with credits, as a certain percentage will be deducted every time you make a transaction. Although, if you can patiently save the store credit for a long time, it can be used to get a decent discount while buying a game through the PlayStation Store.

You can also use your store credits to convert them into PSN wallet funds. These PSN wallet funds can be used to buy staff in stores as well. So, both ways, it’s a win-win situation for the users.

The story doesn’t end here. If you have a PlayStation Plus subscription to your name, you will get a lot of extra rewards.
