Partial Return of PS Stars Wallet Funds Reward Following Backlash

Earlier today, many players were pleasantly surprised to see the return of the PS Stars Wallet funds reward, though not all options came back for everyone. Globally, the $5/£5 reward has become available again, but for some, this is the only denomination currently accessible, while others now have multiple options to choose from.

Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or new to the scene, it’s important to know that these Wallet funds rewards have resurfaced for players, regardless of their membership level or PS Plus status. There were some rumors swirling around that renewing a PS Plus subscription or upgrading to a PS Plus Premium membership might bring back access, but clarity has been shed on this — your PS Plus membership and PS Stars level don’t influence the PS Store credit availability.

Sharing from personal experience, as a PS Stars Level 4 member with just a PS Plus Essential subscription, I maintained access to the £10 Wallet funds reward without any interruptions. This morning, the £5 reward popped back up for me too. Interestingly, even players without active PS Plus memberships have reported seeing these rewards return.

Sony’s silence over the past month on this issue has left players frustrated, seeking answers through PS Support, which unfortunately led to inconsistent and sometimes baffling responses. It’s still up in the air whether the Wallet funds reward will fully return for everyone.

On a positive note, there’s been another development as of this morning. Sony seems to have fixed the issue with the PS Store’s video game rewards. Gamers can now apply their points to games that were previously locked, marking a significant step toward resolving recent reward issues.
