For anyone unaware, Sony has updated its Sony Rewards program so that gamers can earn points by unlocking trophies in games, which then convert into PlayStation Store cash. Enthusiasm for this update to the Sony Rewards program has seen its website crash from overwhelming traffic (and it\u2019s still not easily accessible at the time of this writing), but there is one big catch that fans need to know about before they get too excited.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Only trophies earned after the Sony Rewards program update went into effect count. So the years fans have spent earning silver, gold, and platinum trophies in game won\u2019t translate into any PlayStation Store cash. With the massive flood of people rushing to sign up for the Sony Rewards program, it\u2019s safe to say that at least some of them were unaware of this rather big catch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Another catch is that only PlayStation gamers in the United States can trade their trophies for cash. Sony hasn\u2019t said if it plans on expanding the program to areas outside the US, though that seems like a distinct possibility considering its popularity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">While these drawbacks will certainly leave some fans disappointed, it\u2019s better than not having it in place at all. Hardcore gamers that strive to collect every trophy will now be rewarded for their efforts beyond a digital trophy, and will even be able to turn their hard work into free games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">And when we say hard work, we mean hard work. To earn 1,000 points, which is good for just $10 in PlayStation Store credit, players will have to earn 10 shiny new platinum trophies. 25 gold trophies equate to 250 points, and 100 silver trophies will convert into a mere 100 points. Bronze trophies, meanwhile, aren\u2019t worth anything in the Sony Rewards program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">It\u2019s unlikely that this new program will result in many gamers actually earning free games on a regular basis. But it\u2019s better than nothing, and PlayStation gamers might as well sign up for the program \u2013 once the website starts working again, that is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0https:\/\/gamerant.com\/playstation-trophies-money-catch\/<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/console\/playstation-trophies-for-money-program-has-a-big-catch.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PlayStation Trophies for Money Program Has A Big Catch PlayStation Trophies for Money Program Has A Big Catch:- It\u2019s clear that PlayStation fans are excited about Sony\u2019s recent changes to its Sony Rewards program.
