Would you like to improve your PlayStation trophy ranking and prove your skill level? Then you need to collect platinum trophies. Platinum trophies are a badge of honor for many players and mean that you have completed every challenge a game has to offer.
They also raise the trophy rank of your PlayStation Network higher than just bronze, silver or gold trophies. And after Sony’s Overhaul of the trophy system last yearThey’re more valuable than ever – but just as hard to come by.
How to earn platinum trophies
Players can easily collect bronze and silver trophies by simply playing through a game. Gold trophies require additional effort, from mastering the multiplayer modes to overcoming bonus challenges to completing all the secondary content in a game – sometimes several times in a row.
However, platinum trophies are only rewarded after you’ve unlocked all other trophies in a game. Given that many modern games offer huge, content-rich worlds that can be explored for tens or hundreds of hours, it takes time to earn a platinum trophy a lot more effort than simply beating the single player campaign.
There are exceptions, however.
The easiest platinum trophies for PS4 and PS5
As many trophy-hungry gamers have noted, there are tons of games that can go platinum in 10-15 hours – and just as many that take much less time to complete. It is possible to take a number of small games off the PlayStation Network and win five or six new platinum trophies in as many hours. The catch is that some of these games are of questionable quality.
