Sony's PlayStation loyalty program, PS Stars, appears to be rolling back out to those in North and South America. The service has gradually been reactivated region by region, and it seems the Americas are now finally rejoining the party.
PS Stars was having issues, and was offline for a protracted period while Sony worked on fixing things up. The program slowly came back online, beginning with Asia before hitting Australia and Europe. Now, going by numerous accounts shared on ResetEra and Reddit, North and South America are also regaining access to PS Stars.
The free program gives PS5 and PS4 users the ability to earn points when they make purchases from the PS Store. These points can then be exchanged for PSN wallet credit, full games, DLC, and digital collectibles. Points and collectibles can also be earned by completing campaigns, with more added each month.
Is PS Stars back where you are? Tell us in the comments section below.

I’m in the US and for me it’s not back up yet.
Ohio and got it back. Login again if it doesn't load worked for me.
@MrZurkonKeelYou Use the "force stop app"trick. Now it should work. Or do what I did, log out from app and turn of the phone for a few minutes , it's healthy for the phone with a fresh reboot now and then.
I'm on the US Server and it's working. Just redeemed another $20 with no problems
@Bil_Do I'm in Ohio as well and is working for me.
They need to give us points for the purchases we made while it was down. I’ve seen people posting in the other article they not points. Anyone else in NA get points for purchases while it was down?
Works for me and was able to redeem $20 right away for my preorders for the rest of the year.
@CrispyMango92 My points for the Elden Ring DLC have been added, which was purchased during the downtime
Still down in Canada
Just came Up in Florida.
Woohoo, I can get my usual couple collectibles a month and nothing else again since I'm not a digital only gamer.
Wow, Only took a few months but Sony fixed whatever it was that broke. Its working for me now.
Its not exactly the greatest rewards program, but at least its something.
It did require a force-quit to refresh the app, but it is up in Atlanta now.
Still down for me in Florida. And I just signed out and back in but that did not work.
@CrispyMango92 It gave me the points from when my PS Plus renewed on the 3rd so hopefully game purchases are being recorded as well.
Got it working in NY by “Offloading” the app and reinstalling it on my iPad b/c I’m not really an Apple guy and I couldn’t figure out how to force stop it. 😝 My 753 points and level 3 are still in tact, not much else for me to do except play PS4/5 games. I’m so not the target audience for this.😂
It's now back up in Canada. Woohoo
Still doesn't work for me in the UK....
West coast Canada. Wasn't working initially but followed @Bil_Do and it works!
ps stars is the weakest rewards program since the creation of rewards programs back in the prohibition era
Still not working for me - I’m Eastern USA
I’m in the northeastern US, and had to log out and back in, but it’s up and the points I earned during the outage are there.
The Stars animation when you open the app has gone back to the old one. It had an eye- catching twinkle effect while the service was down. Maybe that animation is only for people who aren’t members to get them to click it, and it didn’t recognize that I was a member while it was down?
I forgor this service existed. 💀
Yea mines finally back up. Im in Mississippi...pathetic it took them that long to get this back up and running.
@Zeke68
Force stopping the app worked for me.
Back up for me too. In florida, had to sign out and back in as well as restart the app
@ATaco Great to hear I helped someone out there. Happy friday on you all!!
@CrispyMango92 I'm in UK, but I did get points for all the purchases I made while it was down. Hopefully it's the same when it's up for you as well.
So much for a certain other site claiming it was back "globally"...so globally is only the U.S. now?!😅 Had logged out & in & wondering why it wasn't working!😔
At least Push Square got it right. Not hodig y breath Down Under but hopefully tied into the EU Store region return.🤞🙏
The fact that they took a month to get this back up justifies my apathy towards it, I feel.
So yeah nothing to make up for the downtime? Very cool sony.
Guess who's back. Back again. Stars is back. Tell a friend.
