Finally some good news for PlayStation Stars, the PS5 & PS4 loyalty program, which has been down for several weeks. The service is reportedly back, but not everywhere.
We've been talking about it for several days, but PlayStation Stars is down. As a reminder, it's a completely free loyalty program that offers points for each purchase made or campaign completed. Challenges that can be very simple, like launching a game every month. But sometimes, it's more complicated like the “trophy campaign” where you had to be the first to get the Platinum of a hit in your respective region. The quality of the bonuses also varies from fairly dispensable digital collectibles to the ability to buy PS5 and PS4 games in exchange for points.

PlayStation Stars finally back on PS5 and PS4?
The PlayStation Stars program has been down for a while now. But the incident doesn't completely affect the service. While it may be inaccessible, Sony Interactive Entertainment is still tracking the points earned after purchasing a game. If you want a detailed tracker, you can follow this tip to see your current PS Stars progress while you wait for everything to be fixed. And it looks like things are going to be back to normal soon. It seems that some areas in Asia already have access to PlayStation Stars again, according to a Reddit thread.
For their part, our English and American colleagues from PushSquare posted a screenshot of the PlayStation Stars mobile app. If you try to go to it right now and click on the PS Stars icon, you'll get an error message. “PlayStation Stars is currently experiencing issues. Our engineers are aware of the issue and are working to resolve it.”.
This warning has been replaced by a more encouraging one, at least in the UK. “The PlayStation Stars loyalty program will be back soon, with a gradual regional rollout. We appreciate your patience and look forward to welcoming you back.”. So things are really moving and we imagine that it is only a matter of days before a complete and global recovery. Logically, this PlayStation Stars outage did not make you lose any points, but do not hesitate to check once everything is back.
