Sony appears to be testing an unannounced PlayStation Store rewards system that gives some PS5 users wallet credit after purchasing eligible games. Limited-time “Wallet Credit” offers have started appearing directly on select PlayStation Store listings, with at least one user reporting that $10 was added to their account immediately after completing a qualifying purchase. Sony Interactive Entertainment has not formally announced the feature or explained how widely it is available.
The offer has been spotted on the PS5 storefront beneath listings for several games, including The Blood of Dawnwalker, Halloween, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy and Star Wars Zero Company. Screenshots circulating online show the Wallet Credit promotion attached directly to individual products rather than presented as a traditional PlayStation Plus discount or separate coupon. That suggests Sony may be experimenting with purchase-specific rewards that return part of a transaction as PlayStation Store balance.
One user who encountered the promotion said they received $10 in wallet credit after purchasing The Blood of Dawnwalker. That report remains anecdotal, and Sony has not published terms confirming the reward amount, eligibility requirements or whether every customer shown the promotion receives the same credit. It is also unclear whether the offer is limited to certain accounts, specific games, particular regions or a controlled test group.
The appearance of the feature is notable because a mysterious PlayStation Store listing called Wallet Credits surfaced earlier in 2026. The listing identified Sony Interactive Entertainment as the publisher and described the product as wallet credit that could be used toward games, add-ons and other purchases. At the time, Sony provided no explanation for the listing, leaving players to speculate that it could be connected to a future loyalty or rewards system.
A new rewards initiative would arrive as Sony winds down the current version of PlayStation Stars. Sony stopped accepting new PlayStation Stars members in May 2025 and ended the ability to earn new points and rewards later that year, while allowing existing members to continue redeeming previously earned points until the program fully closes on November 2, 2026. When announcing the shutdown, Sony said it was evaluating ways to build on what it learned from the program.
PlayStation Stars previously allowed members to earn points through purchases and campaigns, with those points redeemable for PlayStation Store credit, selected games and other rewards. The Wallet Credit offers appearing now seem structurally different because the credit is presented alongside individual store purchases rather than requiring users to accumulate and later exchange points. If that model becomes permanent, it could give Sony a more direct way to incentivize specific digital purchases.
There is currently no evidence that the new Wallet Credit offers represent a full replacement for PlayStation Stars. Sony has not announced a program name, launch date, membership system or permanent reward rate, and the limited number of sightings leaves open the possibility that the company is conducting an A/B test or short promotional trial. The fact that eligible offers appear to differ by title also suggests the system could be used selectively rather than as a universal cashback program.
Regional availability remains another unanswered question. The currently reported $10 reward comes from a U.S. user, while no official documentation has established whether similar promotions are being tested elsewhere. Sony also has not clarified whether credited funds expire, whether they can be combined with other offers or whether purchases made using existing wallet funds remain eligible.
For now, the clearest evidence is that Wallet Credit promotions are appearing live on the PlayStation Store for some users and that at least one qualifying purchase reportedly triggered an immediate account credit. Until Sony provides formal details, the feature is best treated as an active but unannounced store test rather than a confirmed successor to PlayStation Stars.
