PlayStation Plus users surprised with free store credit if you play these 8 games

PlayStation Stars has returned, bringing with it plenty of new opportunities to earn rewards.

As I’m sure you’re aware, PlayStation Stars allows users of the Sony brand to earn digital collectibles as well as points that can eventually be exchanged for free games or store credit.

It’s not quite as expansive as Xbox’s Microsoft Rewards, but it’s still a service worth taking advantage of.

When users reach 1,250 points, they can exchange those points for £5 worth of store credit.

The more points you save, the more store credit you can nab.

Points are earned on all PlayStation Store purchases and via completing easy campaigns.

Many of these are accessible to all users, although a select few specifically target PlayStation Plus subscribers.

That brings us nicely onto the focus of today’s article.

ICYMI: Borderlands 3 is now available on PlayStation Plus’ essentials tier. Take a look at the game in action below.

The first campaign is titled ‘A Leader Is Born’.

“Take control and become the leader you were destined to be with this month's batch of must-play PS Plus Game Catalogue games. Play any of the games below to get some points,” reads its description.

You can bag 50 points simply by playing any of the following games: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - Definitive Edition, Anno 1800 Console Edition, Cricket 24, Crusader Kings 3, or Monster Hunter Rise.

The campaign runs until 31 July.

Next up, we have ‘Your PS Plus Monthly Games Await’.

It’s not a catchy title but it gets the point across. Earn 50 points here by playing one of the following: Borderlands 3, NHL 24, or Among Us.

This one runs until 5 August.

As always, make sure you’ve clicked to enrol in these campaigns on the PlayStation app.

There is no set time you need to play for so simply loading up should suffice.
