Hit Play / 1994 is one of the first challenges for PlayStation Starsthe reward service for PlayStation gamers.
Launched in October 2022, the PlayStation Stars service tasks players with playing games to earn digital rewards including points and collectibles.
At launch, Hit Play/1994 is perhaps the toughest – where you only receive cryptic clues to solve each objective. To complete each, you must load each respective game related to the clue.
Your knowledge of the music of the time will help – but this page will explain each Hit Play / Response to the 1994 Musical Challenge if it’s not up to par.
On this page:
Hit Play / 1994 ‘Stay x Circle of Life’ answer
To complete the Stay x Circle of Life objective, you must then play Return. This is only available on PS5 – and is available as part of a PlayStation Plus Extra subscription.
Hit Play / 1994 ‘Baby I Love Your Way x Go West’ answer
To complete the Baby I Love Your Way x Go West objective, you must play Death Stranding. It’s on PS4 and PS5 – we tested the latter’s Director’s Cut, which worked – and both are playable as part of a PlayStation Plus Extra subscription.
Hit Play / 1994 ‘Mr. Jones x Regulate Response
To complete the Mr. Jones x Regulate objective, you must then play Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. This is on PS4 and playable as part of a PlayStation Plus Essential subscription as part of the PS Plus Collection.
Hit Play / 1994 Answer “More human than human”
To complete the More Human Than Human objective, you must play Detroit: Become Human. This is on PS4 and playable as part of a PlayStation Plus Essential subscription as part of the PS Plus Collection.
Hit Play / 1994 ‘Wild Night’ answer
To complete the Wild Night objective, you must then play Until dawn. This is on PS4 and playable as part of a PlayStation Plus Essential subscription as part of the PS Plus Collection.
Hit Play / 1994 ‘Streets of Philadelphia’ Answer
To complete the Wild Night objective, you must then play Heavy rain. It’s on PS4, and while we can’t find it on any PlayStation Plus subscription tier, we’ve already redeemed it as part of a first monthly PlayStation Plus freebie – so hopefully you’re in a similar position.
Hit Play / 1994 award and end date
Once you solve the above answers, you will receive the “Sony Chord Machine”, a heroic collectible that was a “boombox and portable cassette tape recorder” from 1982.
A MiniDisc player would have been more appropriate – or even a CD player, if you want to trace the roots of the original PlayStation specifically – but getting your hands on any classic Sony tech, albeit digital, is fine with us.
