Play together in the PlayStation Player Celebration, free online multiplayer weekend and more.
We’re excited to announce that Days of Play is back for 2021 to celebrate the passionate PlayStation community around the globe!
We wanted to make this year’s event even more special and engaging for our gamers. That’s why this year’s Days of Play will feature various activities across a few weeks to celebrate the power of play and the vibrancy of our community by connecting gamers together.
PlayStation Player Celebration*
PlayStation Player Celebration is back! This special event calls on our player community to join together to achieve a shared set of goals and earn exclusive PSN avatars and PS4 themes in the process.**
Registration starts today and will remain open until May 31. Stage One kicks off on May 18 – here are steps to participate:
1. Sign Up
Register with your PSN Sign-In ID here. Once you sign up, you’re automatically entered into all future Stages of the program.
The event is open to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 users in the following locations: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Indonesia, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, UK, and the United States.
2. Start playing on May 18
There are three Stages throughout the event, with the first Stage kicking off on May 18. Each Stage will have the following Community Goals:
Games Goal
● Play PS4/PS5 games — the Community must play a target number of games each week. Every PS4/PS5 game that each entrant plays for at least an hour (across as many sessions as you’d like during the week) will count towards the Games Goal. You’ll earn double points towards the goal if you play games with users on your Friends List (who have also signed up to participate).
Trophies Goal
● Earn Trophies — the Community must earn a target number of Trophies each week. Each entrant can have a maximum of six PS4/PS5 Trophies count towards the Trophies Goal.
Bonus Goal
● If the first set of goals are reached before the end of each Stage, there will be a new set of Bonus Goals the Community can work towards.
3. Earn exclusive PSN Avatars and PS4 Themes
Everyone who signs up before a Stage begins can earn exclusive PSN avatars as well as PS4 dynamic themes (with custom music and icons) when the Community achieves the Games and Trophies Goals for that Stage.
If the Community also achieves the Stage’s Bonus goals, players who signed up prior to the start of that Stage will receive additional PSN avatars.
Finally, if the Community Goals for all Stages are met (excluding the Bonus goals), players who signed up and participated in all three Stages will receive a cumulative prize featuring an exclusive PSN avatar and PS4 theme set!
The rewards will be delivered directly to your PS4 or PS5 via Notifications approximately 1-2 days after each Stage ends. Please note that the PS4 themes will only be downloadable on PS4, and not PS5.
Check out the chart below to see the goals for each Stage. The goals reset at each Stage.

hey playstation i m from iraq help me🙏
I was lucky enough to get a ps5 and there are two major flaws.
1) Most of the avatars are already available, it’s just these ones have purple backgrounds.
2) Because you can’t change ps5’s background, which makes up two stages and the cumulative prize?! there is really no incentive to do these.
It’s just not worth it. From what I’ve read, Xbox is out performing PlayStation on similar events or incentive programs, which is disappointing.
:D me encanta que van a dar cosas exclusivas, pero me pregunto cuanto o cuando salgra lo que falta o saldra
Hola :D
When Starts the Deals?
Everytime I try to sign up I can’t open the website and It tells me “This page isn’t working http://www.playstation.com redirected you too many times”
Hope you fix that
I can’t get in to the activity because of my country :(
Please add more countries to activities.
Will it come India? The competition doesn’t matter what matters is the sale I want to buy Ghost of Tsushima and The Last of Us Part II please reply I cannot wait!
Cool, and I love the avatars, but I kinda wish themes was compatible with the PS5. Sure it’s cool to see the artwork of the game you’re playing, but miss the customization the PS4 had.
Where is United Arab Emirates or even Egypt???
Is it available in Turkey?
I sign up for the promotion, but I didn’t get no email back confirming that I sign up for the program anyone have have the same issue.
How do we receive the prizes? Is it through PSN email notifications? Or through our consoles’ notifs?
Excuse me? I wanted to ask someone at PlayStation if there is a way I could please buy a PS5 from you directly?
I seriously am lost and need massive amounts of help. I had recently been scammed out of $800 or more for one and it really crushed my hopes, so has all the struggles I’ve had trying to get a PS5 since 2021 started. I would like someone from you guys directly to speak with me about the chance to get one.
Please? I don’t know where else to go and this itch has been driving me crazy. I’m sorry if I’m talking out of place here, but no one has helped me dealing with this at all.
How do I know that I participate in this event?
Because I registered May 16 or 17 dont know, but 100% sure that I registered BEFORE the event started. How do I controll that how many games or trophies added to the goal?
I’m in
I found out about this late and missed my chance at the good stuff. I still signed up for those who care about wallpaper and little face-pictures.
Why does Sony have to be selective of the countries? Can this not be open to everyone, we all buy games and from Sony it’s only right to include us as well.
Not to mention I’m in Cape Town South Africa.
For clarification, can I play an hour and then come back later and play that same game for an hour and have it to count again? If so, how long does the break in between need to be?
Niice
I’ve sign up for but got no email comformation to my account and i check my spam also
Hi playstation, i deleted a game but hten i wanted to reinstall the game but the problem is that the game wasn‘t in my library it was nowhere to find
Can i have my other account plz PlayStation plz i had so much things plz i w swear again never please
Signed up mid way through first week ready for the second week, got a confirmation of sign up.
Went to have a look at the first weeks trophy total and apparently I’m not registered, so I’ve had to sign up again, again with confirmation and again unfortunately can’t contribute to this week’s total.
Disappointed I can’t contribute to the community and I can’t find any support to address the problem.
Any help or advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. I am ZREKOOX and I did not get anything from this contest (stage one) even though I registered for the competition and played games and achieved achievements and did not get anything. ):
Did we complete the goal for the first stage? I didn’t receive the prizes for the first Stage, did anyone else?
