PlayStation's 30th anniversary celebrations are quietly winding to a close, but before the cake and party games are packed away there are still a few surprises for you to grab.

PlayStation has gone all in on celebrating its 30th anniversary, and we would expect no less. Over the last couple months we've seen all kinds of treats and surprises, including 30 free months of PlayStation Plus, free games, and so much more.

All good things must come to an end, however, and so it is that the window to grab some of these Birthday freebies is fast closing.

If you're registered to PlayStation Stars (and you should be), you have until 31 December to get your hands on the various 30th anniversary prizes, only available by completing specific campaigns. Let's take a look at a few, shall we?

If you want to grab the special Polygon Man Variant - a digital collectible - you need to solve a 30th anniversary PlayStation puzzle.

You can also grab a cool PlayStation 5 digital collectible by playing any one of the following "era-defining' PS5 games: Elden Ring, Astro Bot, Helldivers 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, God Of War Ragnarök, Marvel's Spider-Man 2.
