PlayStation's Franchise Rewards program gates merch behind in-game trophies


Sony's new Franchise Rewards program will let you purchase Ghost of Tsushima merch for earning trophies.

Sony is introducing a new rewards program for PlayStation owners that lets you purchase exclusive physical merchandise if you've unlocked certain in-game trophies. The "Ghost Rewards" you might have earned playing Ghost of Tsushima include a $25 commemorative pin shaped like a mask (unlocked for earning the game's "Living Legend" Platinum trophy) or a $30 custom t-shirt with what looks like a gold woodblock print design (unlocked for earning the "Mono No Aware" Gold trophy). The program always felt a bit like an NFT feature that the company had quickly reworked when blockchain tech fell out of style, and it made sense when it abandoned it.
