Saros Players Just Unearthed a Hidden Freebie on PSN – Pure Digital Magic or a Clever Trick?
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Players have discovered hidden, region-specific codes on the PlayStation Store page for Housemarque's new roguelite, *Saros*, which unlock a free pack of six PSN avatars featuring the game's protagonist and bosses. It's a clever nod that rewards players for some digital detective work, or for just using the codes provided, and serves as a fun bonus for the critically acclaimed PS5 exclusive.
Right then, gather 'round, mates! It seems the digital wizards over at PlayStation have been playing a bit coy with us, and some truly eagle-eyed gamers have just pulled back the curtain. We’re talking about *Saros*, Housemarque’s latest brain-melting roguelite masterpiece, and a lovely little hidden treat that’s popped up for May 2026.
Now, you know me, I love a good digital mystery – almost as much as I love when someone accidentally glitches through a wall and finds a developer’s secret room. And fair dinkum, it looks like Yvan Dureve of Chocobo Plan has done just that, reportedly unearthing some secret codes lurking on *Saros*'s PlayStation Store page. Big thanks to Joshua Duckworth over at Game Rant for initially flagging this digital treasure hunt, by the way!
So, what's the big fuss, you ask? Well, it turns out that if you head over to the *Saros* PSN store page and give that 'Call Eclipse' button a good old click, you’ll trigger a short animation. Once that's done, a swift click on 'End Eclipse' apparently *reveals* a hidden code. Sounds like something out of a wizard's grimoire, doesn't it?
And what do these magical incantations grant you? Not infinite lives (sadly, this is Housemarque, after all!), but a rather snazzy pack of six *Saros* PSN avatars. You get one stylized after the protagonist, Arjun (played by the rather brilliant Rahul Kohli, if you didn't know), and the other five are bosses you'll probably have cursed at a fair few times already. A nice little cosmetic win, especially since, let's be honest, free is the best flavour of anything in today's economy, right?
Now, here's the slightly less whimsical bit: these codes are region-specific. So, if you're not one for digital spelunking, or perhaps your 'End Eclipse' button is stubbornly refusing to cooperate, Chocobo Plan’s Yvan Dureve has done the heavy lifting for us. You can just plug these bad boys straight into your PlayStation Store (or app) via the 'Redeem Codes' section:
* **Americas:** BN5Q-7B28-G7ND * **Europe:** QLD2-2HD4-4NA2 * **Asia:** T23N-MDCL-569D * **Japan:** HEKJ-925F-XG3M * **Korea:** ED22-899Q-69JN
Word on the digital street is that these codes *will* expire (presumed, not confirmed, mind you), so if you fancy decking out your PSN profile with some *Saros* flair, best get on it quicker than a rogue bullet hell boss in full sprint.
It’s a simple gift, but it’s interesting, isn't it? Is this just a clever marketing Easter egg to get us poking around the store page, or a genuine little thank-you for the early adopters? Either way, it highlights *Saros*'s strong start. It’s been out for less than a week, and everyone's already singing its praises – even if Sony and Housemarque are keeping mum on the sales figures for now. After the cult success of *Returnal*, *Saros* seems to be hitting all the right notes, perhaps even better, with critics, including Game Rant's Dalton Cooper, calling it 'one of the PS5's best exclusives'. It's more accessible, mate, and with Sony's full backing, it certainly feels like this roguelite gem is set for a hell of a run. So, go on, grab those avatars, and let's see what other digital secrets we can uncover!
