PlayStation drops surprise free download you can only earn by completing special challenge

PlayStation Stars features a surprise reward that you can earn by completing a special challenge.

PlayStation Stars is Sony’s rewards scheme that gifts players with points and digital collectables to proudly display on the official mobile app for completing easy campaigns. Some of those campaigns might require you to play a specific game or earn an in-game trophy, while some are earned by making certain purchases via the PlayStation Store.

Right now, Sony is celebrating 30 years of PlayStation and treating fans to awesome dynamic PS5 themes that represent each of the previous four console generations. Sadly, these themes are only temporary but we’re hoping Sony will decide for them to stay around forever.

There are also some special campaigns for PlayStation Stars and two campaigns in particular have caught the attention of fans, both of which reward you with a digital collectable for the infamous mascot, Polygon Man.

“Can you survive the mind-melting intensity of our clever code?” reads the description of one campaign. “Figure out the titles of the classic PlayStation games below (also in the PS Plus Classics Catalogue) and play all of them to earn a Digital Collectable.”

Each of the campaigns features six titles that you need to play hidden behind the triangle, circle, cross and square controller icons. At first, they make no sense but if you click on the code, it will send you to a PlayStation Store page revealing the hidden game.

“They should keep doing fun stuff like these in my opinion, this is so cool!” exclaimed Kidd__Video, revealing the list of games required to complete the campaigns.

What’s more, some Redditors revealed that the seemingly randomly placed icons are morse code with one user saying “I think it may be morse code Circle [equals] Dash, Triangle [equals] Dot, X [equals] new letter, Square [equals] Space.”

Hopefully, we will see more fun campaigns like this going forward with PlayStation Stars.
