All that’s left is for Europe, Australia and New Zealand to join in on the fun on 13 October.

With the scheme now live in many territories, players are beginning to unlock its secrets with one dataminer finding a secret fifth loyalty tier that appears to be invite-only. What we also now know is how exactly earning PSN wallet funds works.
Check out the latest trailer for God of War Ragnarök which launches on 9 November.
All PlayStation users can join PlayStation Stars for free. As explained by Forbes, once you’ve done so, users can earn points by purchasing games from the PlayStation Store or by completing ‘campaigns.’ Campaigns task players with completing a specific objective which are tracked through the Stars app. Many of these are as simple as playing a game online, opening up a certain game, or using a console feature.

When it comes to earning points via purchases, Forbes reports that players earn around four percent of their purchase back in points. Once you’ve saved up your points, players can either redeem them directly against certain games or towards PSN wallet funds which can be used on any PS Store product.
If you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you’re in luck because you can earn extra rewards. All PlayStation Plus subscribers will earn points on the purchase of their subscription, much like if you’ve purchased a game. Now I need to decide which games I want to save up for.
