Sony’s official PlayStation Blog published its second consecutive Saros-themed Share of the Week community spotlight on June 19, 2026. The announcement calls on PS5 players to submit portrait-focused Photo Mode captures of the game’s protagonist Arjun Devraj for a chance to be featured in an official roundup. The hard submission cutoff is set for 11:59 PM PT on June 24, 2026, per the official June 19, 2026 PlayStation Blog Share of the Week announcement PlayStation Blog.
Current Saros Share of the Week Prompt and Submission Rules
The June 19 prompt specifically requests shots of Arjun Devraj navigating Saros’ corrupted, post-cataclysmic in-game environments. Submissions must be portrait-focused, rather than wide landscape or action-focused captures. This marks the second straight week the Share of the Week program has highlighted Saros content, following the prior week’s Carcosa region-focused challenge.
Entrants can submit their Photo Mode captures via Twitter/X or Instagram, paired with the required #PSshare and #PSBlog hashtags to qualify for consideration. Players can also browse existing submissions using those same hashtags for creative inspiration, per official PlayStation Blog Share of the Week submission guidelines PlayStation Blog. No additional submission requirements, such as mandatory image edits, minimum resolution thresholds, or accompanying captions, are specified for eligibility.
All qualifying entries will be reviewed for inclusion in the next official Share of the Week roundup blog post. Saros’ dedicated Photo Mode tool launched the week prior to the June 19 announcement, making the Carcosa region prompt the first ever Share of the Week theme for the title.
Prior Saros-Themed Share of the Week Highlights
The inaugural Saros-focused Share of the Week roundup, published the week of June 12, 2026, highlighted 6 community creators: MdeavorVP, thwippip, dougsvest, l2.focus, y2que, and vp_louie. Their featured entries included action shots of Arjun dashing through ruined Carcosa landscapes, posed portraits of the character paired with his signature in-game weapons, and static captures of the game’s distinct visual effects. These effects include the title’s signature red energy blasts and blue enemy orbs, per the official PlayStation Blog June 12, 2026 Saros Share of the Week roundup PlayStation Blog.
Program Purpose and Developer Takeaways
PlayStation’s weekly Share of the Week program requires no dedicated marketing production budget for themed prompts. Sony aggregates eligible submissions via public hashtags to populate official roundup posts at minimal internal cost. For Saros specifically, the themed contest extends the game’s post-launch content lifecycle by giving players a structured, low-barrier outlet to showcase creative work tied to the IP.
For community managers and independent game developers, the program serves as a replicable case study in low-cost player retention tactics. These tactics require minimal internal resources to execute, with no upfront cost beyond moderating hashtag submissions. The Saros prompts are a direct example of this model in action, leveraging an existing player base to generate promotional content at no extra production cost to the studio.
