A quick tour of the enhancements rolling out tonight for Trophies.
You’ve all heard that satisfying sound when a Trophy pops up on the corner of your screen. There’s the sense of accomplishment when that ultra-rare Platinum trophy is unlocked after hours of pursuing. Trophies were first introduced on PlayStation 3, and have been an integral part of the PlayStation gaming experience. Today, we’re excited to announce we’re bringing some enhancements to the Trophy system.
New Trophy Levels
The first thing you’ll notice is the big change to your Trophy level. We’re increasing the Trophy level range from the current “1-100” to “1-999,” so following this update, your Trophy level will automatically be remapped to a new level within this new range based on the Trophies you’ve earned to date. For example, if your current Trophy level is 12, your new level will jump to somewhere in the low 200’s. The exact level will depend on the number and grades of trophies you’ve acquired. There will be no changes to the Trophies already earned or Trophy information, such as unlock requirements.
New Level Calculation Structure
We’ve implemented a new Trophies level calculation system that is more optimized and rewarding. Players will progress quicker through the early levels, and levels will increase more consistently. Platinum trophies will count more toward your level progression, making them even more valuable.
New Trophy Level Icons
With an expanded level range, we’re also updating the trophy level icon on PlayStation 5, as well as PlayStation App at a later date. Currently the Trophies icon is just a single gold star, but we’re adding a few variants:
- Bronze: levels 1-299
- Silver: levels 300 – 599
- Gold: levels 600 – 998
- Platinum: level 999
The icons will also have a subtle distinction to visually suggest how close you are to the next level.
Lastly, just for clarity, Trophies that you’ve earned on previous PlayStation systems will come with you to PlayStation 5, just as they have in previous generation transitions. The new Trophy levels will be reflected in all locations that Trophy levels are shown, including past systems, PS App and My PlayStation.
All of these updates will be automatically implemented on the system side, starting later tonight (North America) / tomorrow (Europe).
We’re committed to offering an even better experience for our fans as we head into the next generation of gaming. We can’t wait for everyone to start racking up trophies in all the amazing upcoming games that are launching on PS4 and PS5!
Nice! I’m currently sitting at level 51, so hopefully that’s enough for a Platinum icon.
Even if you put the top 3 trophy leaders like Hakoom together I don’t think that is enough for 999
I think you’re getting a bit carried away there. 51 is halfway between 1 and 100, so you’ll be in the 500s on the new system. Therefore you will get silver.
@dimajjio
I was confused about the 1-100 level range that is mentioned. There are currently many people above level 100 with two over level 300!
no one is over level 100 on psn as thats where it maxes out. and this cap is different dij as well as they said each level will be harder to hit. so we dont know lvl 51 will be in the 500’s (thought its entirely possible)
It only counts the total number of “Platinum Trophies”!
This revised trophy system will be good because you will be able to increase your trophy level quicker.
Here’s an idea I’d like to see. How about, quit making multiplayer trophies a requirement for platinum in a mostly single player game, e.g. RDR2!
@jester946 No online trophies are fair game, what I want to stop seeing is glitched and missable trophies.
@supersaiyan like that quest in oblivion for the ps3 that can’t be completed? ( the one where other humans hunt you or something on this island ) or games that have gone defunct in a very short period (like less than a year)
Err, Oblivion on PS3 never had trophies though.
I was one Daedric Artifact short of platinum on Skyrim 😭
@andrewsqual he must of played it on Xbox as it had achievements.
at SuperSaiyan3985.
Online trophies are not fair game. If you buy the game late or when the online servers dry up you are out of luck getting a plat for that game. Online trophies must go away, they more often than not prevent you from completion. Go try and plat Far Cry 4 today with its dead online.
@dimajjio
You were correct. I am currently level 567!
Mine has not changed a bit im still level 9 as some of muy friends
@jester946, @SuperSaiyan3985,
@Loy310,
I feel as though if a game has a Multiplayer Component in a game that is Single player Focused, the Trophy system should be Divided. A Platinum Trophy for the Solo Campaign and One for the Multiplayer section of the game. That way you can Focus On Completing the aspect of the Game you fancy the most and/or not worrying about a part of a game you got to late or have no interest in completing. While not corrupting your Playthrough that you could possibly get a 100% and get that sweet Platinum that goes with it.
This from a Person who only has one Platinum and is at the Bottom of the Trophy pole.
Well that’s a different way for the trophies it’s looks a nice to me.
Was that a joke? You are probably Gold 3 or even silver, they won’t make it that easy
@blackmarble I agree. It would be nice if they were separated off like DLC is.
