Sony adds Quests to PlayStation Rewards

Do stuff, earn progress points.

There's a new Quest system heading to the PlayStation Rewards scheme, Sony has announced.

According to the PlayStation Blog, the new system will reward you with progress points for successfully completing various grueling tasks.

For example, the "No Place Like Home" quest asks you to visit the central plaza in PlayStation Home, "Check Your Pulse" demands you watch PlayStation Network's Pulse in HD and "Move It" is completed by booting up a Move title.

There will be nine quests added to the PlayStation Rewards beta tomorrow, with plenty more promised in the coming months.

Not up to speed on what PlayStation Rewards is all about? Let Sony's Chris Hagedorn explain:

"PlayStation Rewards was made to recognise and reward members for doing the things they love – interacting with and experiencing the entertainment that PlayStation offers.

"As users play games, check out PlayStation Network's original programming, review games and explore PlayStation Home, they will earn progress toward the program's three tiers – Select, Pro and Legendary status.

If you're not part of the beta, you'll have to wait until the full launch in April 2011.
