It seems as though Sony's PS Stars loyalty programme, which grants points for purchases and digital goodies for completing goals, has very much been off the radar for most. It's worth joining — you might as well get the points and work towards some store credit — but it does feel like it's been a shrug of the shoulders for most. That's fair enough, but if you've not checked the app for a while, you should take a look at one of the latest digital rewards.
With what is probably the best collectible so far, completing a new PS Stars campaign will grant you a bobblehead figure of none other than Shuhei Yoshida, one of PlayStation's best-loved execs:
In order to unlock this digital trinket for yourself, you simply need to play one of Shu's recommended games from the following list:
Upon booting up one of these titles, you'll have earned yourself a mini Shuhei for your shelf. It's easily among the best of the digital collectibles to date, though we do like the Sony and PlayStation hardware miniatures too. Oh, and if you don't have access to one of the above games right now, don't worry — you have until 30th June 2023 before this campaign expires.
In addition to being immortalised on PS Stars, the indie game enthusiast recently received BAFTA's prestigious Fellowship award for his contributions to the industry. What a legend!

I want a Shuhei bobble head and I already own some of these games 🤩 If anyone enjoys good narrative games I'd suggest A Space for the Unbound which is already a gem that many don't know about it, it's a bit of a mind trip and will have you thinking about it for weeks after the experience!
PS Stars would have been a great Home program. Alas.
Well, gotta make room for that in my top display shelf. Sorry PS eye camera, time to go into the closet.
That's a top gimmick!
I must play some knight witch later and make sure I get it
Any of these in game catalog with extra?
Hahaha ok. This is getting interesting now 😅
@zebric21 Unfortunately I don't think any of them are on Extra, so you may have to take a chance on one if you want the bobblehead I can personally recommend Sifu, Cult of the Lamb, and Neon White!
3 things:
1) I kind of want it!
2) I’m not buying a game to get it, it’s only a virtual item.
3) If they made a new VR compatible Home in which to view and handle it in all it’s 3 dimensional glory, it might be worth more to me.
Best install Sifu in that case 😅
Gotta check if any of them are in Catalogue - the whole list looks like it's on Switch, so I'm afraid you won't catch me investing in respective PS4 ports for a digital collectible. The only exception in this context was that lite Konami baseball for a 50 point reward, but it cost a dollar and my wallet had spare change.👀
Definitely going to do it. I love Yoshida
I got excited and thought it was a real bobblehead! I might have to buy Before your eyes finally just to get the Shu digital bobblehad though.
Still waiting for PS Stars to come to our actual PS5's profile, so everytime I boot up the PS5 I can quickly check up on my Stars and requirements before every gaming session. It's obviously not terrible on the app, just not ideal and sort of feels disconnected
I guess I’ll be finally be getting around to playing sifu today then
I’m already a couple of levels into my Sifu playthrough, so I should get this the next time I boot it up.
But man oh man, are these collectables useless. I’m with @lacerz, these would be great if there was a Home-like space where you could display them. Even a one-room apartment space with a bunch of shelves to place the collectables and some hard-to-get trophies would be enough. Without that, I’d much rather a points reward — even if it’s just 1 point — than have another ugly balloon.
@Beerheadgamer82 Fully agree. Having to use a separate device is pretty dumb. I mean, my iPad is sitting right next to me at all times, so it’s not a big inconvenience, but it would be so much nicer to have that info on the same screen, being able to check Stars campaigns the same way you track trophies.
Still waiting for my Last of Us collectible for watch and play campaign, even though I’ve already earned it.
Any form of collectables on PlayStation are rather pointless. There's no social hubs on PlayStation. What are we supposed to do with them once we've got them? Sit on the toilet admiring a collection nobody else will get to see. Stars would have been great in PS Home and/or PS Communities but, that's not going to happen as Sony seem to hate us socializing with each other on their platform... Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go post a funny game clip up on an Xbox club I'm a member of.
@Impossibilium when it first released I'm pretty sure they said it's coming to PS5 at a later date, unless I've got it mixed up with something else. If it is coming, then most likely much later this year
Really wish it was a real physical item, looks cool.
Don't care much for Stars. But have to admit this is pretty neat. Also helps bring some attention to some indie or lesser known games.
@NEStalgia
Damn it, me too…I can feel myself weakening.
I'm sorry but who?
The perfect bobblehead doesn't exi-...
@NEStalgia @Tobiaku Shame there isn't a physical version! I would have bought one ASAP maybe.
I bought Cult of the Lamb because it was on sale and I missed the BYE launch deal, plus it's just depressing, played the beginning but my Stars campaign for it still says "started" and auto enrolled but didn't show I completed it. A little strange. I have a long time to sort it out, but there may be an issue redeeming it. Also it's the first time I used the 2d mode on the pavr2 headset. I have to say cult of the lamb isn't bad on the big 1080p vr screen.
Edit: my bobblehead finally unlocked. You might have to do into it in the stars page to activate it before it unlocks. I actually bought a game just to get a shu animated gif. It's sad, but the guys the last link to the good days. It was a necessary action lol
@KidRyan I truly want that physical one!
