How to participate in the PlayStation Cup 2022

Players can check out the tournament from the 'Compete' tab in-game and register by following the rules as provided on screen. To be eligible as a competitive player in the game, all players need to enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on their account. Furthermore, their account needs to be at level 50 or above.

Only players with PS4 and PS5 are allowed to take part in this tournament. Since this is a solo tournament, the first part of it will involve players getting as many kills as possible in three hours - each kill, along with match placement, will provide points. These points will be accumulated and only the top 100 players will participate on Day 2.

If players live in the qualifying regions, they can hop into the game and warm up for the remaining two days before the upcoming hectic weekend.
