Hey, Daily Quest readers. If you’ve been mourning the upcoming death of PlayStation Stars, take a breath—free store money might be making a comeback in a big way.
The Leak: A Mysterious "Wallet Credits" Listing
While PlayStation Stars is officially set to sunset on November 2, 2026, a new discovery on the PS Store has the community buzzing. Spotted by Reddit user u/streetxrat94, a mysterious listing titled "Wallet Credits" has appeared in the backend.
The Evidence:
Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Status: Marked as "Announced" and "Wishlist-able."
The Icon: A clean, all-caps "WALLET CREDITS" graphic.
The Timing: This aligns perfectly with Sony’s promise to "evolve" their rewards program after the Stars shutdown.
Unlike a standard top-up card, the fact that this is treated as an "app" or a "wishlist-able product" suggests a hub where players can track and earn funds directly.
PS Stars Recap: The Road to the Shutdown
We’ve been living on borrowed time since Sony began scaling back the original program. Here is how we got here:
| Date | The Event |
| July 23, 2025 | Points Frozen: You can no longer earn, only redeem what you have. |
| Nov 2, 2026 | Full Shutdown: The Stars tab vanishes from the app forever. |
The "Wallet Credits" leak suggests Sony is stripping away the digital collectibles and "NFT-lite" fluff to focus on what players actually want: cold, hard store credit.
How Will We Earn? The Top Theories
Industry insiders and Redditors are already speculating on how "Wallet Credits" will actually function. Could we see a return to the glory days of trophy hunting for cash?
The Cashback King: Spend a certain amount on the Store and get a percentage back as credits (similar to the current system, but more streamlined).
The Trophy Grind: Earn small credit drips for hitting Platinum or Gold milestones in specific games.
Tournament Integration: Winning or participating in official PS Tournaments could deposit funds directly into your wallet.
Monthly Challenges: Playing specific PS Plus titles or completing "Mystery Game" objectives.
Final Quest: Cash is King
If this leak holds true, Sony is moving away from the "points" system and moving toward a direct Cashback/Credit model. For those of us who have cashed in Stars for $50+ in free games, this is the "Platinum Trophy" of news.
What do you think? Would you rather have a simple cashback system, or do you want the "Mystery Game" challenges to stay? Drop your wishlist in the comments!
