| Wallet Credit program is available for select games on the PS Store. |
It looks like Sony is shaking up its rewards system without making a peep. The long-rumored PlayStation Wallet Credit program is finally rolling out, and it appears to be the official replacement for the PlayStation Stars loyalty program, which shut down back in May 2025.
For those out of the loop, PlayStation Stars was Sony’s previous attempt at a rewards scheme, but it seems the company is pivoting to a much more straightforward approach. Instead of collecting digital trinkets, players are now getting cold, hard digital cash back.
The Discovery
The news broke over on the r/playstation subreddit, where an eagle-eyed user spotted the new program in the wild. According to the post, the user received an instant $10 wallet credit after pre-ordering The Blood of Dawnwalker. The promotion was listed with a limited-time offer and an expiry date of September 29. The best part? That credit can be used on literally anything else in the PS Store, making it a genuine incentive rather than a locked-down coupon.

It’s Not Just One Game
It seems The Blood of Dawnwalker isn't the only title participating. According to other users in the thread, a handful of other upcoming titles are offering the same $10 flat credit. Games like Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, Star Wars Zero Company, and Mortal Shell II have all been spotted with the promotion.
The details are still fuzzy, though. Since Sony hasn’t officially announced this, we don’t know if the credit amount changes based on the game's price or if it’s strictly a flat $10 across the board. We also don’t know if this is a permanent fixture or just a limited-time test. The leaks and rumors surrounding this unannounced program have been circulating for a while, and you can find more background on the initial sightings here: Gaming Leaks and Rumours Thread.
A Limited Rollout?
Perhaps the biggest question mark right now is availability. The program seems to be limited to US users for the moment. Attempts to verify the offer on Canadian and Indian accounts came up empty, suggesting this might be a soft launch or a regional test before a full global rollout.
Sony has yet to make any official statement regarding the end of PS Stars or the launch of Wallet Credit. For now, if you’re in the US and planning to buy one of those specific games, keep an eye on your checkout screen—you might just get a little bonus cash for your next purchase.
