Sometimes I think Sony is guilty of saying too little.
I remember when it announced PS5 backwards compatibility, and it was so cautious with its language that there was concern over how widely supported it’d be. It ended up being superb and working with practically every PS4 game.
I mention all this because the company has taken tremendous heat for its decision to do away with physical media, but if a newly discovered incentive turns out to be real, it could soften the blowback.
A Reddit post – discovered by PSLS – shows select games like The Blood of Dawnwalker are now eligible for “Wallet Credit”. Cashback, in other words.
It’s worth noting that we haven’t been able to replicate the feature, so it seems like this is only being served to a select number of users for now. It looks like it’s only available in the US as well.
But there’s some scattered reporting that Halloween, Star Wars Zero Company, Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol 2, and Hot Wheels: Infinite Rush all currently support it as well. That’s a good mix of recent games from a variety of different publishers, which is exciting.
Apparently, you’ll be notified how much “Wallet Credit” you’ll receive at the checkout, and in the case of this The Blood of Dawnwalker purchase, the user apparently received $10 back.
Now obviously that money needs to be reinvested into the PS Store, but I’ll never argue against free cash – even if it is virtual in this instance.
