Sony has officially confirmed that the PlayStation Stars loyalty program will be discontinued, with full shutdown scheduled for November 2, 2026. The announcement was made via a post on the official PlayStation Blog, marking the end of a short but impactful chapter in the PlayStation ecosystem.

Once the deadline passes, all unused points will expire.
💬 Why Is PlayStation Stars Ending?
Launched in late 2022, PlayStation Stars offered gamers rewards for purchases, completed objectives, and ongoing engagement. While it gained traction, it also faced initial skepticism over its collectible system—though Sony clarified it was not NFT-based.
Sony says it is “evaluating new ways to evolve future loyalty program efforts,” aiming to deliver a more robust and engaging rewards system. While no replacement has been announced, fans remain hopeful for a revamped initiative better aligned with community expectations.
The sunsetting of the PlayStation Stars loyalty program is bittersweet for many loyal fans who’ve enjoyed collecting points and digital memorabilia. As Sony prepares for a new chapter in player engagement, make sure you redeem your points before time runs out.
