Alongside converting your Stars loyalty points into PSN wallet funds that can be used to purchase games from the PS Store, youll also be able to unlock various digital collectibles'. They amount to 3D figurines of Sony-related products. Sony showed off a few of the collectibles during the State of Play, which included an Ape Escape diorama, a model PS3, and a Sony MP3 player.

According to a post on the Sony blog , the collectibles are intended to be digital representations of things that PlayStation fans enjoy, including figurines of beloved and iconic characters from games and other forms of entertainment, as well as cherished devices that tap into Sonys history of innovation.

During the showcase, Sony emphasized that there will always be something new to collect and show off to your friends. Expect the roster of the virtual keepsakes to expand after PlayStation Stars launches, as the number of collectibles only gets larger.

Speaking to the Washington Post earlier this year, Sonys vice president of network advertising, loyalty and licensed merchandise, Grace Chen, confirmed that the digital collectibles were not NFTs and didnt use blockchain technology. Discord is finally available to all Xbox Series X players
