Yesterday, PlayStation’s annual Days of Play event got underway.

Currently in its seventh year, Days of Play is a celebration of all thingsPlayStation, granting console users access to various free offerings and limited-time deals.

One of those free offerings is what I’d like to highlight today.

Advert

To celebrate this year’s edition of the event, PlayStation users can now redeem an array of avatars that “commemorate some of the popular titles that will be offered throughPlayStation Plusduring Days of Play.”

Lara Croft, Sly Cooper, Diogo Jota, and Slimer are just a few familiar faces you’ll be able to nab avatars of.

This part is a tad confusing to stick with me.

To grab the avatars, you need to head on over to the PlayStation Plus hub on your PS5 or PS4.

That may suggest that you need a PlayStation Plus membership to redeem them but I assure you that’s not the case.

“These PlayStation Plus avatars are free for all PlayStation players to redeem,” reads the Days of Play website.

It sounds as if more avatars will soon be on the way if none of the figures featured so far are to your tastes.

PlayStation simply reassured fans to “stay tuned”. Oh we will.
