Season’s Greetings From PlayStation Home

On Thursday 15th December from 8AM BST PlayStation Home will be briefly offline for scheduled maintenance. Here is what to expect when PS Home reopens…
The festive seas on blasts into PlayStation Home this like a gale force wind, bringing games , quests,
rewards, and plenty of wonderful, wintry fun for all. Of course, no Christmas would be complete
without a special event, which is why we have called in favours with our friends Snowman, Snow Bear,
and some very special guests for what is sure to be the celebration of the year.

Your journey begins in the brand new snow-covered Pier Park, where a collection of quests will
unravel in the coming weeks and which will reward players with exclusive items and collectibles only
available from this limited-time event. Start by going to the Activity Board to start your first quest, then catch a boat from Pier Park to transport to this chilly locale where Snowman and Snow Bear will
provide clues that will lead you throughout a vast winter wonderland filled with tons of surprises.
Complete all the quests to unlock a variety of special rewards that will leave your inventory bulging
with awesome Yuletide mementos!

the neighbours in the Midnight Glade personal space from Lockwood. The open grassy fields with
their gently sloping hills and spreading oak tree may seem idyllic, but just wait until you unleash a
pyrotechnic display on that dark sky! There’s plenty of space for dancing and watching pretty lights
explode across the heavens, while the campfi re area provides the ideal spot for chatting and
barbecuing.
The Glade even comes with 16 picture frame slots and has its own special Gift Machine, so you can
thank your guests for com ing by sending them a gi ft or two (and they can return the favour!). Also, as
an extra bonus, if you throw a party with more than 8 people, you and your guests will receive the
Supernova Fi rework reward. So what are you waiting for? Get your friends together and have a
fireworks party this New Year!
