It’s a big week for PS Plus gamers. The PS Plus April 2025 games look fantastic, with two big day-one releases confirmed, including what Shuhei Yoshida has deemed a GOTY contender. While the new Essential games will arrive on April Fools’ Day, this is how long PS Plus subscribers have left to get some free PSN store credit by simply playing some games.
How to get free PSN store credit with PS Plus
PS Stars is a fantastic initiative by Sony for PS Plus subscribers. It’s available to join for free, but you do need to be a PS Plus Essential, Extra, or Premium subscriber to reap the program’s benefits.
Basically, PS Stars rewards subscribers with points. These points are earned through buying games digitally from the PSN store, as well as by completing basic campaigns such as buying certain games or playing games that are already part of PlayStation Plus.
Right now, PlayStation Plus subscribers can get 100 points by playing just two games part of Sony’s service. The two campaigns are as follows:
PS Plus monthly games – 50 points (ends March 31st):
- Dragon Age Veilguard
- Sonic Colors Ultimate
- Relayer
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Cowabunga Collection
PS Plus game catalogue – 50 points (ends March 31st)
- Return to Monkey Island
- Embr
- Ghostbusters Spirts Unleashed Echo edition
- Nour Play With Your Food
- Killer Frequency
All you have to do is play any of the Essential and Extra games listed above for both campaigns, and you will be rewarded with 100 points in total. You don’t even really have to play the games. All you need to do is download them and just play for a minute or two.
A total of 100 points on its own isn’t enough to bag you any rewards, but it adds towards your total PS Stars currency that can be used to buy free rewards such as £5 PSN store credit for 1,250 points, and £10 PSN store credit for 2,500 points.
You can even buy full games for free using your points such as the magnificent Phasmophobia for as little as 2,500. There are more campaigns and rewards available, so make sure to download the PlayStation App for your iOS or Android device.
Personally speaking, the best way to use the credits is to save up 2,500 for £10 PSN store credit, and then use this credit on games during mega sales. The PSN store April sale has just begun, and you can get older, but still excellent, AAA and indie experiences for less than £10.
In other PS Plus news, Sony has confirmed a massive day-one release for Summer.
