PlayStation Stars Rewards Program Set for Phased Comeback After Unexpected Hiatus
PlayStation loyalists, rejoice! After an unexpected downtime of nearly a month, the popular PlayStation Stars rewards program is gearing up for a phased return. The program, a favorite amongst gamers for its ability to turn purchases and completed challenges into reward points, had been offline since early June, leaving many wondering about the fate of their hard-earned rewards.
The Stars program has been a game-changer, allowing players to swap their points for coveted game vouchers, digital collectibles, and even full games. Its sudden disappearance during the PlayStation Days of Play celebrations sparked concern amongst the community. While a recent update to the Stars icon within the PS App offered a glimmer of hope, it didn’t signal an immediate fix.
Now, an official message on the PlayStation Stars webpage confirms that the program “will be returning soon in phased regional rollouts.” Avid Redditors have already reported the program’s revival in some Asian regions, sparking anticipation for a wider return.
This message is showing up for many users at the moment. First update to PlayStation Stars in almost a month. Looks like we might be back online soon! Thanks so much to everyone who sent this in. pic.twitter.com/9Rklp1Ev21

PlayStation has acknowledged the disruption caused by the outage, particularly its impact on a Days of Play-related promotion. In an effort to appease its dedicated player base, PlayStation is offering a sweet deal – four exclusive Astro avatars, redeemable via a voucher code (JPFQ-66LN-QGLJ) on the PlayStation Store until July 11th. It’s a small consolation for the inconvenience, but a welcome gesture nonetheless.
