Sony Launches Free Saros Avatars for PSN Users

Sony Interactive Entertainment has launched six free PlayStation Network avatars tied to its new PS5 exclusive Saros, available to PS4 and PS5 users without requiring a game purchase. The promotion coincides with the game's release on April 30, 2026, marking Housemarque's latest bullet-hell action shooter.

Players can claim the avatars by visiting the Saros page on the official PlayStation website for their region.
