Now that PS Stars is available worldwide, you’ll probably want to refer to our PS Stars guide to complete all the current Campaigns. And one suggestion we have if you’re a PS Plus Premium member is to use your subscription’s streaming feature to save time and earn your Rewards quicker.
Some of the current challenges, like the Hit Play/1994 Campaign, require you to play specific games like Until Dawn and Heavy Rain – but if you don’t have these currently installed, you don’t need to burn through bandwidth, simply boot them using your PS Plus Premium subscription.
While not every game is available as part of Sony’s top-tier subscription service, many are, and you can find a full list courtesy of our All PS Plus Games list. To stream a game, simply search for it on your console, and select the expanded info button on the product page to access the Stream option. Wait for it to connect and begin loading the game, and voila, you’ve successfully progressed your Campaign!

They need to bring streaming back to mobile as well
The only game I don't own is Returnal so it's naff for me anyway 🤷♂️
@UltimateOtaku91 I believe you can via remote play to your console. But native would be nice.
@Icey664 Returnal is on PS Plus Extra.
Some games I streamed popped but other didn't and I had to download them to get the reward
With that backbone controller they should do cloud streaming on mobile
Uncharted hasn't popped despite playing. I only seem to have the legacy edition - should work I assume? First two games were fine - popped immediately. I didn't realise about streaming, so left those downloading from when I last switched the PS5 on...
@Angelus3K ps5 games aren't streamable
@Angelus3K The only thing I don't like about remote play even when you pair a controller is that you can't remove the touch icons.
I do this with Gamepass, its so much easier.
Returnal already installed.
Had to install the directors cut of Death Stranding, nothing else would work.
Streamed the other 4 but later installed Detroit: Become Human because I’ve never played it and I’m totally interested now.
It may be a way to get people interested in games they wouldn't ordinarily play. Although it may help that the majority of games to complete these tasks are on Plus.
Anyone know if I progress with PS3 games (on the ps3). I have all games on ps4/5 except heavy rain which I only have on ps3… I don’t wanna spend the whole day lookin for the disk and console if it isn’t working tho, pls let me know. Has anyone tried it on ps3? 🥲🙏🏻
@Snake_V5 On my phone (Android 12) I touch the gear icon on the bottom left and untick Always Show Controller, then when I'm using my Dualsense it's just a perfect clear screen with no button icons ☺
@mikeym same thing with mk11. Almost did the entire story mode in streaming and still nothing. At least I'm having fun along the way.
I’m sure all the games are on PS PREMIUM, I am able to stream all, but need to download returnal.
Just like with game pass quests, it is to reward those already on the scheme, and try to intrigue others
On a wired, strong broadband connection and you’ll be lucky if I can play 2 seconds of a streamed game without it looking like an 8 bit.
Well, all those games are on extra, apart from heavy Rain I think, which Sony gave away a while ago, so might just have them downloading in the background and pick it up over the course of time. Luckily no data caps in the U.K. and I’m a sucker for a collectible.
@Snake_V5
I’m on iPhone and I can. There’s a button bottom left and then you can just select to remove the touchscreen icons.
Not in bloody Australia
What is the reward? Just some picture of a boombox? I got ticks for Heavy Rain, Until Dawn and Detroit just by streaming them, but there's no way I'm downloading the whole of Returnal, Death Stranding and Uncharted 4 just to get a picture of a boom box
When do we start getting actual points that will contribute to getting decent rewards?
I couldn't stream Returnal or Death stranding directors cut, so not all can be streamed slightly misleading, and yes I have premium
@thefourfoldroot1 Must be a new option they added since I last tried it out.
@MagicalBarrie My phone is Android so I should be able to do it right? I'll have a look later.
@lankieBD They weren't there when I tested Remote Play, I looked in the settings. Is there a way to stop the games having black borders? There not full screen if I recall.
I was about to reply to Snake_V5 but it looks like everything has already been said. I just wish the quality would go up to 1440p or 4k HDR if your phone and network hardware are up to it. The 1080p encoding/decoding performance is impressive (at least using an Xperia 5 II with a decent network setup, my PS5 connects to the same switch as my wireless access point and I had a reliable 300Mbps with single digit ping)
@Snake_V5 my phone has a 21:9 aspect ratio, so in landscape mode it shows with the full screen height, but black bars to either side, rather than stretching the image (which is 16:9, so it fills about ¾ of the screen, i.e. ~⅛ of the screen is blank to either side). To me that's preferable to the alternatives (either cutting off the top and bottom, or stretching things 30% horizontally), especially on an AMOLED screen where the borders are true black rather than glowing grey a la LCD displays
Stars is dope, I got £20 from cancelling and re-ordering all my pre-orders. Going to use the £20 to get Entropy Center in November (looks awesome) I get £5 for every 2 games I buy, that's sweet! And all that for .... for free? How can anyone complain? Don't like aspect of the app, don't use it. They'll get the picture and evolve it, you'd hope. Awesome to have! Cannot complain imo. I am loving the free money!
Thanks for help guys.
I played Mortal Kombat 11 over two days ago and still haven't got the reward for that challenge.
