Sony is reportedly gifting select PlayStation players with a $5 credit to their PlayStation Store wallets. While not a substantial amount, the unexpected bonus is a welcome surprise for recipients.
According to reports, the notification is arriving via email, though players can also check for the credit directly within the “What’s New” section of the PlayStation Store.

It’s possible Sony is rolling out the promotion in phases, and other regions may receive the credit in the coming hours or days. Players are advised to check the email address associated with their PlayStation account to see if they’ve been selected. Reddit users report that while the initial notification arrives via email, the credit must be manually added through the PS5 interface.
According to a photo shared on Reddit, the promotion is only valid for one day, so players should check their emails promptly and claim the credit if available. This is particularly important for those outside the U.S. who may be included in a later rollout, ensuring they don’t miss out on the equivalent of approximately five euros.
If you’ve received the credit, let us know in the comments! You could use it towards the PlayStation Store’s Year-End Deals.
