Players who complete the objectives can earn two types of rewards, which are loyalty points and digital collectibles. The points can be exchanged for various stuff like PSN wallet funds, exclusive digital collectibles, and select PlayStation Store products. They can even earn points by just buying something on PlayStation Store.
