Shift Up's latest PS5-exclusive action game, , is the latest game to be offered for sort-of-free via PlayStation's loyalty program, but you'd need to spend so much money to actually redeem it that it's hard to imagine most people will be jumping at the opportunity. PlayStation's loyalty program, , launched towards the end of 2022, and awards users with points for spending money in the PlayStation Store, as well as completing 'campaigns' (small tasks such as playing specific games). The rewards are genuinely pretty great – as well as full-blown games like and Rise of the Ronin, you can also redeem smaller amounts of points to earn PlayStation Store credit, which you can spend on anything you want.
So, what's the problem with Stellar Blade being one of these rewards? Well, nothing – there's bound to be someone out there who'll be thrilled to spend their points on it, and that's great. However, actually getting the required number of points in the first place is another matter. Those aforementioned campaigns, which anyone can complete for free, don't generally award a massive amount of points, meaning that the way you'll rack up most of them is by spending money.
For reference, in the US, you're awarded around 10 points for each dollar you spend. And to redeem Stellar Blade? You'll need..
. 17,500 points. Yikes.
That's right, assuming that you've not completed any campaigns at all, you'll need to spend roughly $1,750 on games in order to grab Stellar Blade via PlayStation Sta.
