PlayStation Stars is free to join. All you need is an adult account for PlayStation Network and agree to the terms of use of the program. Although you will earn certain benefits as a PlayStation Plus member, a PlayStation Plus membership is not required to join PlayStation Stars.

How does the program work?
With PlayStation Stars, you earn rewards by completing a variety of campaigns and activities. Our “Monthly Check-In” campaign simply asks you to play any game to receive a reward. Other campaigns will ask you to earn specific trophies, or even be among the first players to achieve a successful title in their country/region. One of our first campaigns is called “Hit Play/1994” where members who successfully launch games that match song-based clues receive a special collectible.
Campaigns are updated regularly, so check the PlayStation app to see new campaigns.
What rewards can I earn?
There are two types of rewards: loyalty points and digital collectibles. Points can be redeemed into a catalog which may include PSN wallet funds, exclusive digital collectibles and select PlayStation Store merchandise. As an added benefit, PlayStation Plus members signed up for PlayStation Stars automatically earn points for purchases on Play store.*
Digital collectibles are beautifully rendered, digital representations of things PlayStation fans enjoy, including figurines of beloved and iconic characters from games and other forms of entertainment, as well as cherished devices that tap into Sony’s history of innovation. There will be new collectibles to earn regularly, ultra-rare collectibles to seek out, or something surprising to collect just for fun.
Digital collectibles you earn or acquire can be displayed on a display case in the PlayStation app. You can also configure the storefront to be seen by others, if you wish.
