The first community challenge in Sony's Days of Play promotion for 2021 concludes tomorrow morning, but those taking part have already reached the goals required to unlock the initial set of rewards. After playing more than 2.4 million PlayStation 5 and PS4 games alongside unlocking 7.2 million Trophies, entrants who signed up before the first cut-off date will gain access to a new PS4 theme and PSN avatar. Sony has shared what the former looks like in the tweet below.
There is a stretch goal associated with this community challenge, but with the requirements having to be met within roughly the next nine hours, it's unlikely to happen. If three million games are played and 8.8 million Trophies are earned, another three PSN avatars will be unlocked. They're themed around Astro's Playroom, Returnal, and Gran Turismo 7. The goals seem like a bit too much of a reach at this point, however.
The second Days of Play community challenge is expected to commence tomorrow, asking entrants to play 2.9 million games and unlock 8.5 million Trophies. Five PSN avatars themed around PS5 and PS4 exclusives are on offer if the task is completed in time. And as for the prizes entrants have already earned following the completion of the first community challenge, they'll be delivered straight to your console via a message within the next few days. If you still haven't signed up and want a shot at grabbing the rewards associated with upcoming challenges, you can do so through here.

I hope the music that plays in the tweet is the actual background soundtrack. Imagine that greeting you every time you turn the PS4 on — further fuel to buy a PS5!
Contributed one game, Valkyria Revolution, and two trophies from said game. Was the best I could do with my time constraints but still happy to receive the theme.
@LiamCroft Lol 😂.
This looks like a lot of fun. Too bad I don't have a PS4, though, so I can't partake in this.
Do we know yet if themes are coming to PS5, or is it like Switch where it needs the mono-theme for the dashboard to run properly?
Theme looks great, shame i’ve moved to PS5.
Really missing themes and folders 😭
Wish they didn't have to consistently ruin these with big obnoxious logos.
@ScottyG The Switch doesn't actually need that theme to run properly. If you hack your Switch, you can change the theme as if it was a PS4. It's just Nintendo being lazy/inept.
Here's a Persona 5 theme on the Switch.
Too bad the music is annoying
@Matroska
Weird I always heard it needed basic themes for the OS to operate quickly. But no surprise modders are picking up the slack for Nintendo now. Seems like it standard operating procedure for companies to put out half baked products and the fans have to fix them lol.
So how do I apply themes on my PS5? (;
@Pleasance
TM!™
Sorry that I couldn't contribute more trophies, everyone, but those cyphers in Returnal are effing impossible to find - especially in biome 6.
I want themes for my ps5
@KippDynamite word. finished act 3 and thought it would be an easy platinum. run through number 5,000 and counting still no luck on a few that I'm missing in biome 6
Well I got a new 'week record' for trophies over the past week, I will have to count the exact number.
Good we met the initial goals but the avatar's seem a stretch at this point but let's see how today goes, one last push!
Wonder if the Vita trophies i accumulated during that period count too or whether Sony really are limiting to just PS4/5.
Either way, have contributed a few to the total so far!
