PlayStation Store tests unannounced wallet credit rewards program
Sony is reportedly testing an unannounced rewards program on the PlayStation Store, where users receive direct digital wallet credit upon purchasing specific game titles. This initiative, identified by players as ‘Wallet Credit’, appears to offer immediate rebates—such as $10, £10, or €10—directly to the user's account following a transaction.
Several recent titles have been linked to these offers, including ‘The Blood of Dawnwalker’, ‘Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy’, ‘Star Wars: Zero Company’, and ‘Halloween: The Game’. Some users have noted that these promotions include expiration dates, suggesting they may be limited-time events rather than a permanent system.
This development follows the discontinuation of the PlayStation Stars loyalty program and may serve as its successor. Unlike the previous points-based system, this new method appears to provide direct monetary value, potentially functioning more like a cashback mechanism. While some users have reported receiving credits in various regions, the program remains unconfirmed by Sony and seems to be targeting a limited number of accounts.
