Limited-Time Opportunity for PlayStation Fans to Earn a New Avatar

Okay, so here’s the deal with this whole PlayStation 5 thing—Sony’s throwing a little shindig, or whatever, and it’s got this exclusive avatar up for grabs until, like, the tail end of July 2025. Why? Well, it’s all about celebrating PlayStation Plus hitting the big one-five. Yep, 15 years old. Who knew time flies like that, right?

Anyway—Sony’s subscription’s been cranking despite some steep price hikes. Apparently, more people are jumping onto the premium bandwagon now more than ever. Kinda wild if you ask me.

Oh, and there’s a pic of the PS Plus logo somewhere. I don’t know, it’s just there. Surprisingly, it’s not about first-party day-one games—go figure.

They kicked off this big old tournament deal called the PlayStation Plus 15th Anniversary Cup. It’s running for a smidge over a month and ropes in ten games. The early birds are playing stuff like College Football 25, some Fatal Fury thing, EA Sports FC 25, and Mortal Kombat 1.

Sign up and—voilà—a snazzy avatar with the PS Plus logo and this “15th Anniversary” message, plus a collage of game covers. Fancy, huh?

So prizes—well, everyone gets the avatar. Beyond that, who really knows? Depends on where you’re from and what game you’re into, maybe.

Here’s the hitch: you gotta register through the PS5 Game Hub. Must be 18-plus with an active PS Plus subscription. But wait—hold on—if you’re still rocking a PS4, joke’s on you—it’s PS5 only. Yep, sorry, but them’s the rules.

Here’s how the schedule’s shaking out:

• College Football 25 – between June 28 and July 9
• NBA 2K25 and the like – from July 10 to July 20
• College Football 26 rounds it out—July 21 to July 31

Oh, heads up, not everyone gets to play. The cup’s open in most places but, why oh why, six countries didn’t make the cut, like Croatia. Odd, right?

Anyway—back to the point—part two of this thing starts July 10, featuring more games like Tekken 8. And the grand finale is on until July 31.

Did I mention you gotta be quick to snag any extra rewards? Yeah, those come through vouchers. You’d better log in soon after, ’cause notifications won’t hang around forever. Miss it? Tough luck.

So, there you have it, a jumble of stuff around Sony’s PS5 anniversary bash. Ready, set—grab that avatar or whatever else ends up in your notifications. Good luck!
