If you’ve been banking your PS Stars points, then you may have incentive to spend them: Shift Up’s awesome character action Stellar Blade has been added as a 17,500 points reward. As a reminder, you get ten points for each $1 you spend on the PS Store, so you’re going to have to have coughed up a significant amount of money to earn this. However, there are also campaigns in the PS App you can complete to top up your total.
We’re not going to pretend this is the steal of the century, but it’s worth pointing out; you may have accumulated more points than you expected. Sony tends to offer $5 for every 1,250 points, so the conversion is consistent with the game’s $70 price point. Still, if you’ve already decided to spend some time with Eve, you may as well do so with PlayStation’s magical money.
As a reminder, you can find out much more about the PS5 and PS4 loyalty scheme in our PS Stars guide. And if you do decide to pick up the popular PS5 exclusive, our Stellar Blade guide can help you get the most out of the game.

For me, spending stars points on individual games is never worth it. I always prefer to save for the £20 wallet top up cos then at least I can use it for any game.
I haven't even earned enough for a fiver wallet top up yet on PlayStation stars
I recently started my 3rd playthrough. That is pretty much unheard of in my gaming life. Only other games I've done this with is Witcher 3 and NieR Automata (and those games took years before I booted them up again).
Got £40 of vouchers since November 2022 according to my rewards history. Not exactly anything to write home about, but it’s better than the nothing I was getting before so I’m not complaining. Not foolish enough to buy digital games for £70 though, even if it is a free bonus.
That's how I got FF7 Rebirth. Didn't even realise I had enough points until I randomly checked it out one day.
@BIG3 I'm finishing my second run now, but I definitely will do a third run for the last ending. Not to mention that i am spending a fair number of hours in the boss challenge, great game
Don't get games through PS Stars. It actually work's out more expensive on some games. Just get the store credit, can't go wrong that way.
I never save up for a full game. I usually make around either £5 or £10 each month so i just redeem it on the spot and buy something on sale.
Game looks decent enough; Will probably pick it up once it's 20 or 30 euro's or so.
I don't think I will ever earn that many points ha ha, but I only ever buy games on sale.
I've never heard about those points despite having a PS for some 6 years. Where the hell are they?
I usually just spend points to knock down games further that are already on sale. If anyone hasnt gotten stellar blade and interested, go for it, alot of fun
@Bydlak You can see them in the app.
It’s just a promotion. If you have that many points, you can already just buy it through getting money for your points. So in practice, this offers nothing. I’m surprised they don’t even do $5 off with this.
Always get the wallet top-up and wait for a deal. I've never bought a full price game for points.
@trev666 Yeah, the Stars program is only really any good if you buy all of your games digitally. Maybe if you also play the games they want you to play each month, but I play what I want to play. I'm barely at Level 4 and I've been a member since it started.
The truth about Stars is… it’s better than not getting anything, but seriously it’d take forever to get Stellar Blade on points. You’ve got to spend a lot of money to get that many points.
You do realise that any game can be yours with playstation stars points, right? You can swap them for store credit.
@Nekomichu exactly what ive been doing today. Completed it through oce, now going through it a 2nd time to mop up some trophies then will go through it a 3rd time. Dabbled in boss rush today and nearly done them on normal, although there are still 3 im missing for some reason. Guess they are tied to sub stories i missed on my first run. I had planned to play my final run on hard with a fully upgraded Eve but after trying a couple of the bosses on hard and getting absolutely battered i dont think i can bare to fight the 2nd from lass boss again. By far the most problematic boss for me by far so i can only imagine what shes like on hard.
@Nekomichu Yeah. Boss challenge is brilliant!
Always take store credit with stars, too. Funny enough I had a ton on my alt account where my premium is running on... Never thought that the monthly fee for premium also rewards stars
I've ever heard of PS star points 👀
I didn’t even know about Reward Points. Just checked and I have 16,800! So close
Never buy a game with points, you buy the game more cheap if you wait for an offer and exchange the points for money from the store.
I’ve used my Stars to buy Jedi: Survivor and Helldivers 2.
@Fritz167 that’s what I did. Bought 2 games this way.
That's pretty kool 😎
@FEWGEE1 it's strange, you'd think the selected games would be there for less points than the vouchers. But no, the vouchers are usually the same or sometimes even better value than them. I've never seen a reason to go for one of the games instead.
Will PS Stars ever appear on the PS5 console, and not just your phone??
@Kidfunkadelic83 yeah there are come bosses tied to side quests or ending choices.
@BIG3 I am enjoying a lot, I'm trying to beat all bosses in Normal with the option "EVE Preset - Minimum - "Ha, I can't believe I have to fight in this form..."" and having so much fun. I currently have done the nine first bosses, and it's becoming harder and harder but fun
@Nekomichu yeah i found another one last night. Im nearly at the plat. Just half the cans left to collect, about 10 more boxes to open, some more fish to catch and NG+ to get through.
@Kidfunkadelic83 that's nice! I find the exploration in this game to be very rewarding, there is cans and outfits to be found everywhere.
@Nekomichu I also found the last boss last night. Yeah ive not got every outfit as some i missed on my first play through so i only got the origional costume on my 2nd playthrough and my 3rd playthrough i just want to enjoy the story instead of searching for stuff again. Although the costumes are easy enough to find once i figure out the ones im missing and where to find them. This game really has surprised me.
@Kidfunkadelic83 yeah fair enough I am getting all in my 2nd and I plan to enjoy only story in my 3rd
@Nekomichu i though i would do my 3rd run on hard now ive fot eve fully upgraded but i tried boss rush on hard and its a significant step up from normal so i dont think i will go the hard route.
@Kidfunkadelic83 I's all about the build I think, if you find it difficult try with protection and reflex exospines, and maybe some protection gears, maybe try to have 2 Wb pumps (I think 35 cans give you teh second) and you are golden.
I am currently in my 2nd on hard, just before eidos 9, with similar build as i mentioned and it is fine.
@Nekomichu oh nice. I didnt know you could get 2WB's.thats cool. Once ive got the plat then i will roll through the story and then do a hard run.
@KilloWertz It's capped at level 4 for some reason.
@Matroska I was not aware of that, but I still earn hardly any points because Stars is so geared toward digital gaming and such. I may have around 1400 or so since it started.
