PS1 T-Rex PlayStation 1

Few moments in gaming historical past are extra iconic than seeing PS1’s legendary T-Rex tech demo for the primary time. It’s such a signature scene that Astro’s Playroom even parodied it for its improbable remaining boss battle! It is smart, then, that the dinosaur is being added as a digital collectible to Sony’s new loyalty scheme PS Stars.

Available as of in the present day, 1st October, in Asia – with different international areas scheduled to observe later within the month – a brand new marketing campaign named the October Check-In rewards you with a T-Rex statue for taking part in any PS5 or PS4 sport. The synopsis reads: “A scientifically accurate mini statue of the tech demo T-Rex from the original PlayStation.” Interestingly, it seems to be holding Sly Cooper’s employees.

While you’ll solely be capable of view the digital collectible inside the PS App in your smartphone for now, it does sound like Sony has plans to combine this function into the PS5 console itself at a later date. Are you having fun with all these area of interest references that Sony is celebrating as a part of its loyalty program? Embrace your inner-enthusiast within the feedback part under.
