Fans of Game of Thrones are all set to return to Westeros for the final season tonight and people are celebrating with everything from show-themed pop up bars to limited edition GoT Oreos. Sony is apparently also jumping on the final season hype train and has teamed up with HBO to offer some special Game of Thrones avatars and console themes for PS4 owners.
Since there's no new Game of Thrones video game to play right now, this might be the best way for gamers to get in on the hype. Unlocking both the awesome Game of Thrones character avatars and the fire-breathing dragon theme is pretty simple. Basically, players just need to login to their PSN account and then watch two YouTube videos.
Just to keep it simple, we've broken down the steps and included links to the videos below... https://www.playstation.com/en-us/network/vue/game-of-thrones/
How To Unlock The Theme
- Log in to your PSN account on a web browser
- Watch the video
- Click "Redeem Here" after the video completes
- Use that code to redeem
- Download to your PS4

How To Unlock The Avatars

That's all there is to it. Completing both 'quests' only takes a few minutes and should allow fans to keep their PS4 in theme while enjoying the final few episodes of the series. Hopefully this becomes more of a theme and Sony delivers similar rewards for other programs in the future. Unless From Software is really making a Game of Thrones game, this might be the best way for gamers to get in on the fun for now.
Check back for more Game of Thrones news and video game crossovers as the final season kicks off and progresses. Until then, enjoy the show.
The final season of Game of Thrones premieres on HBO Sunday, April 14.
