All PlayStation Stars campaigns for May 2023 expiring soon
There are currently four May 2023 PS Stars campaigns offering points that will all expire in early June. Remember: PS Star points can be traded for free PS Store credit, effectively netting you discounted or free games on PS5 and PS4. Check out the full list of expiring May 2023 campaigns below.
PS Plus Game Catalogue: must play this month
Description: Below are cryptic references to six games in the PS Plus Game Catalogue. Any of them ring a bell? Puzzle them out, work with friends and play any one of them to earn points.
Deadline: May 31st, 2023
Reward: 50 points
Solution: Alright, PS Stars puzzles are back! This time around, there's no real thread connecting the games — you just either get the reference, or you don't. You'll need to have an active PS Plus Extra or Premium membership to earn these points, and you'll need to activate the campaign in the PS App before playing any of the games on PS5 or PS4. Solutions are in the next paragraph, so avert your gaze if you don't want any spoilers.
In order, the PS Plus Extra games you're being asked to play this month are: Ghostwire Tokyo, Doom Eternal, The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, Fallout 76, and Deathloop. You only need to boot up one to earn the points, and remember if you've got a PS Plus Premium subscription you don't even need to download the game — simply streaming one of the titles will do the same job.
May PS5 Store Picks
Description: Games we've been enjoying. and think you will too. Buy any one of them for a point boost!
Deadline: May 31st, 2023
Reward: 50 points
Solution: This month's PS Store bonus points can actually be claimed by PS4 owners as well, not just PS5, though you'll want to be careful about the exact version of the games you purchase. First and foremost, before buying anything,
make sure you activate the campaign in the PS App — you won't be able to retroactively claim points after purchasing the game, so you need to do this first.
Then, simply buy a game from the list and you've got your points. This list might change depending on your region, so we won't list the games here, but some notable examples we're seeing include
Star Wars Jedi Survivor and
Dead Island 2, which Sean recommends in his
Dead Island 2 first impressions.
Remember to grab May's PS Stars collectibles too!
Your PlayStation Plus monthly games await

Chivalry 2, or
Descenders on PS5 or PS4 to claim these 50 points. Remember to activate the campaign in the PS App first!
