what are playstation points

PlayStation Points are the reward currency used in Sony’s PlayStation Stars loyalty program. You earn them by making eligible purchases in the PlayStation Store, and you can redeem them for things like PSN wallet credit or digital collectibles, depending on what’s available in your region.

Quick Scoop

They are not the same as your PSN wallet balance. PlayStation Points are separate loyalty points earned mainly through PlayStation Store purchases, while wallet funds are actual money stored on your account.

How you get them

• Buying eligible digital items in the PlayStation Store can earn points.

• PlayStation Plus subscribers are generally the ones eligible to earn them.

• Some campaigns or challenges can also award bonus points.

What you can use them for

• PSN wallet credit or similar rewards, depending on region and current rewards options.

• Digital collectibles and other PlayStation Stars rewards.

A couple of important notes

• Not every purchase qualifies; Sony excludes some items, like physical goods and some gift-card-related purchases, from earning points.

• The program has had outages and point-history issues in the past, so some players have discussed missing or delayed points online.
