Helldivers 2 is technically free via PlayStation's loyalty program, but only if you've already dropped roughly $1,000 on games in the last year and a half

Helldivers 2 intro man.

It's fantastic news for any hardcore fans of PlayStation's somewhat forgettable loyalty program, as it's now possible to grab a copy of Helldivers 2 without spending any extra money. Unfortunately though, that's assuming that you've already spent lots of money in the last year and a half, to the point where claiming this reward really doesn't seem realistic for a lot of people.

In case you were unfamiliar, the PlayStation Stars loyalty program launched in October 2022, and allows users to complete 'campaigns' (tasks such as playing specific games) to earn digital collectibles and/or points, which can be redeemed for rewards such as store credit and games. PlayStation Plus subscribers can also earn points whenever they spend money in the PlayStation Store, although the 'exchange rate' is pretty brutal, as you can expect to earn around 10 points for each dollar you spend. Oh, and these points expire around two years after you've earned them, too, so you can't keep saving them up forever.
