PlayStation drops first free download for May, no PS Plus needed

Whilst it may not be everybody’s cup of tea, I’m imagining that there’s a few of you out there who avidly enjoy collecting Sony’s PlayStation Stars digital collectibles.

Well, here I am to inform you that the latest offering is now available to nab. Titled ‘Robbit: Ancient Egypt Robbit’, it’s exactly what it sounds like: a Robbit dressed in historical garb.

Robbit is, of course, the large robotic rabbit from the Jumping Flash series which first debuted all the way back in 1995.

If you’re unfamiliar with Robbit, I can hardly blame you. Jumping Flash 2 released in 1996, with the third game, titled Robbit Mon Dieu, having exclusively launched in Japan in 1999.

Still, if you want to add this charming little fella to your digital collection, it’s oh so very simple indeed.

You should automatically be enrolled onto the campaign and then you simply need to play any PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 title during the month of May.

I did say it was easy! In fact, most of you may have already nabbed this collectible without even trying but hey, now you can take a stroll over to your digital trophy shelf to put Robbit in pride of place, or not depending on your game character preferences.

Dave The Diver recently landed on PlayStation Plus, and is well worth … diving . into.

PlayStation Stars’ digital collectibles, like I said, won’t appeal to everybody but there’s more to this service than pretend figurines.

Make sure you’re keeping an eye on your points balance. When you accrue 1,250 points, you can exchange these for £5 worth of credit to spend in the PlayStation Store.

You accrue points by completing certain campaigns and via making purchases on the PlayStation Store.

This includes the purchase of PlayStation Plus memberships which is a great way to add an enormous stack of points.

In fact, my extra tier membership recently renewed adding a whopping 1,000 points to my account. That meant only a measly 250 to go until I could redeem free store credit.

It’s well worth seeing how many points you have sitting there.
