PlayStation has announced disappointing news for its fans—the PlayStation Stars program, which functioned as a type of cashback system, is coming to an end.
The information was shared by Grace Chen, Vice President of PlayStation, via the PS Blog. According to Grace, the company conducted an internal evaluation and decided to shift its focus, leading to the discontinuation of PlayStation Stars.
The executive made it clear that the program served as a learning experience for the brand, and they will use all the knowledge gained to continue growing PlayStation. No details about a potential new loyalty program have been disclosed.
At the very least, the company provided some important clarifications for existing members of the program. Check them out below:
- Starting today, PlayStation Stars will no longer accept new members for this version of the program.
- If members choose to cancel their PlayStation Stars membership starting today, it will not be possible to rejoin this version of the program, and members will lose all earned Points.
- Current PlayStation Stars members can still earn Digital Collectibles, Points and level up their status until July 23, 2025 at 7:59AM PDT | 3:59PM BST | 11:59PM JST. After this date, there will be no new PlayStation Stars Campaigns available, or any additional rewards or status benefits to earn.
- This version of the PlayStation Stars program will fully end on November 2, 2026 and current PlayStation Stars members can continue to redeem Points as long as their Points don’t expire before then.
