PlayStation tests fan knowledge with 30th anniversary quiz – here’s all answers

PLAYSTATION’s 30th anniversary celebrations are in full swing, with a series of events, sales, and other activities.

As part of the anniversary festivities, Sony is testing players’ knowledge of PlayStation’s rich history.

Fans are invited to answer 10 questions about the consoles and iconic games from PlayStation’s library, to claim a free reward.

Players can try the quiz as many times as they like, while it’s still available on PlayStation’s website.

At the end of each attempt, you will get your final score displayed next to a Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze trophy, based on how well you did.

Completing the quiz will reward you with special 30th anniversary wallpapers for your phone, tablet or PC.

There are five different wallpaper designs you can claim, each based on a PlayStation console.

The free rewards you get are based on your quiz performance, so you’ll actually want to get all questions wrong in one of your runs to collect all designs.

Getting all answers wrong or just one right, will earn you PS5 wallpapers, while two to four correct answers reward you with the PS4 designs and display the Bronze trophy.

Answer five to seven questions correctly for Silver performance, and you will receive a pack of PS3 backgrounds.

Eight and nine correct answers are considered Gold trophy performance, and earn you PS2 wallpapers.

Finally, getting all 10 questions right shows the Platinum trophy and rewards you with background designs based on the original PlayStation.

You can try the quiz yourself and earn all rewards on the PlayStation 30th anniversary website.

Spoiler warning: If you’re stuck on a question, read on for all the correct answers, but if you really want to test your knowledge, don’t scroll down until you’ve completed the quiz.
