Objective of the games
● Play PS4 / PS5 games – the Community must play a target number of matches each week. Each PS4 / PS5 game that each participant plays for at least one hour (over as many sessions as you want during the week) will count towards the games goal. You will win double points towards the goal if you play games with users from your friends list (who also signed up to participate).
Objective of the trophies
● Win trophies – the Community must win a target number of trophies each week. Each participant can have a maximum of six PS4 / PS5 trophies counted towards the trophies objective.
Bonus objective
● If the first set of objectives is completed before the end of each stage, there will be a new set of bonus objectives that the community can work towards.
3. Earn exclusive PSN avatars and PS4 themes
Anyone who registers before the start of a stage can earn exclusive PSN avatars as well as dynamic PS4 themes (with music and custom icons) when the community meets the game and trophy goals for that stage.
If the community also meets the bonus goals for the stage, players who signed up before the start of that stage will receive additional PSN avatars.
Finally, if the community goals for all stages are met (excluding bonus goals), players who have signed up and participated in all three stages will receive a cumulative prize consisting of an exclusive PSN avatar and a set of PS4 themes!
Rewards will be delivered directly to your PS4 or PS5 via notifications approximately 1-2 days after completing each stage. Please note that PS4 themes will only be downloadable on PS4, not PS5.
