Franchise Rewards - Ghost of Tsushima 1

Sony has confirmed a new PlayStation rewards program that's available starting today, named Franchise Rewards. Tied to your PS5, PS4 Trophy completion in the first drop, you gain access to exclusive merchandise based on the biggest PlayStation games.

The first batch offers a pin and a t-shirt inspired by Ghost of Tsushima. As long as you've completed the campaign in either the base game or the Director's Cut, earning the Mono No Aware Trophy, you can log into your PSN account on the Ghost Rewards website and purchase the t-shirt. If you want the pin on top, you need to earn the Platinum Trophy.

The t-shirt costs $30 and the pin is $25, with shipping available in the USA, Canada, Australia, Europe (EU, Monaco, Norway and Switzerland), and the UK. Get a look at the two pieces below:

You need to have earned the qualifying Trophies by 31st December 2025 to unlock the ability to purchase the items, and then you have until 31st January 2026 to buy them or not. Of course, if you've already got the Trophies needed, you can simply log into the website and purchase them straight away.

Later this year, Franchise Rewards will be expanded to also include Ghost of Yotei merch. Sony is in the process of killing off PS Stars, its digital rewards program, so offering something physical in this manner sounds like a good compromise. It's a bit of a letdown you have to pay for it all, though. Some free rewards would have surely been worthwhile alongside the paid products — particularly as PS Stars heads for its grave.
