We know of at least one new feature coming to PS5 consoles in a future update, although it’s unclear exactly when it will be added. Sony recently launched its PlayStation Stars program in more territories, and it should be available in most of the world by next week. Currently, users in countries where PlayStation Stars is available must access them using the PlayStation app, which isn’t necessarily the most convenient given that the tasks involve doing things on the ps5 console.
Sony has indicated that a future PS5 update will bring PlayStation Stars to the PS5 console itself, which should make it much more convenient for PlayStation gamers to take advantage of the new loyalty program. For those unfamiliar, PlayStation Stars rewards players for purchasing and launching certain games on their consoles with points that can be redeemed for digital collectibles and even PlayStation Store credits.
PS5 gamers will have to wait a while to get PlayStation Stars on their consoles, and there will likely be more updates that bring even more functionality to the system. For now, PS5 players can download the latest update to improve overall system performance.
