Upcoming Trophy levelling changes detailed

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!

  • excelente sony, gracias, solo quiero que el mismo sistema de privacidad que tienen en la ps4 sea el mismo para la ps5 , que tu ensenes lo que tu quieras que el otro vea, que puede poner quienes pueden ver tu progresos, quienes te pueden enviar solicitudes de amistad etc.

  • Hope that leaked trophy tracker is true and that most games support it. Also hoping to see some kind of monthly leaderboard like the Xbox has.

  • una pregunta la estrella amarilla entonces desaparecera, solo sera el avance de los trofeos, de ser asi es excelente tambien, sony tiene la magia, yo amo la marca, me gusta su sistema, su interfaz, sus juegos exclu. gracias sony

    A question the yellow star will then disappear, it will only be the advancement of the trophies, if so, it is excellent too, Sony has the magic, I love the brand, I like its system, its interface, its games exclude. thanks sony

  • Did you guys remove the Activity Feed on the My PlayStation website due to this update?

    Oh well whatever, it wasn’t even working properly on PS4, my PS4 trophy feeds are permanently stuck there, i just can remover everything but the ones for that game.

  • OMG!!!!! NOOO WAYYY! WHY!?!?!?! I WORKED MY **** OFF TO GET TO LEVEL 15 94% . Man I can’t believe you guys!!!!! I strongly wish you update it so my earned trophies will count double or triple as you say!!! Or otherwise bye bye for real I spent soooooo much money on playstation omg

  • Please let us delete trophy lists that are under 5 percent completion instead off 0 percent. For example I have games on the ps3 that I will never play now that I just don’t want.

    • @Miss_Valkyria

      No, trophies should be deleted regardless of 0% trophies. I want to delete all my trophies and platinum. I don’t no what the Big fuss is about these pointless trophies. They are completely meaningless.

  • برجاء شرح تفصيلي كيف تشغيل لعبه TEKKEN 7 على شخصين و ياريت يكون فيديو في شرح تفصيلي

  • Can anyone guess where a level 80 or 90 would sit at, in the new trophy update?

  • Could have removed levels entirely. I’d be fine with badges instead of trophies.

  • I have 17 stars. 22 plats. 176 gold’s. 465 silvers. 1769 bronze. I’m probably super dumb but what am I going get?

    • A 3-digit level instead of the 17 stars. What level exactly – just gonna have to wait and see ;)

    • @Aaden_280

      You won’t get anything Aaden, they don’t exist😉

      Games need to have there own awards by achieving certain tasks within the game to unlock prizes. Here’s an example.

      Concept Art
      Marketing Art for the game
      Behind the scenes
      Making of
      Interviews with the developers
      Trivia

      The above content that I’ve just mentioned is a rarity in most games nowadays. This is by far more rewarding for the players then pointless trophies that don’t mean anything and give no reward whatsoever.

  • Well, it doesn’t sound bad but why now? Also, you need to make sure website like psnprofiles.com and psntrophyleaders.com stop tracking are PSN trophy system levels. Those two websites aren’t needed no more. Sony please make your own PlayStation website able to make PSN ID cards so we can share them on websites, blogs, and other social websites like facebook, tweet, and ect.

  • this will look cool with the new icons and levels

  • this is one of the major things I had hoped would be addressed with the new console generation, trophies are a big part of why I play games but the psn trophy system has just never done it for me!

  • thank you this was long over due!

  • So what if I earn a trophy on my PS3 again, will it be the normal more appealing trophies still or these new basic boring looking ones that don’t shine like real trophies?
    No, I’m not excited as many other people are. I’ve been stuck at level 13 for several years now. I would’ve been more hyped if something like this was fixed 10 years ago, and the if the trophy icons don’t shine, I’d rather not update them – only benefit is I’ll be able to tell the difference between gold and bronze.

  • Is this update coming tomorrow? I live in Canada

  • Ohhh I am very excited now, currently im level 21 at 66% as of this post, this will be a very big feature! 😲😷

  • I see, so a pointless system that does nothing but give these kids another thing to ‘brag’ about like it’s supposed to matter lol. Well they’re already crying about how there should be “regulations” for virtual trinkets. Nah, the developers can do whatever. Not something worth taking serious about.

    Listen, I rather see a Time played system implemented for every game to see how much time someone put in a game. PS is practically the only platform to not have this, would be nice to see how much time I and/or friends of mine put into the games they played. Ah heck this idea popped up in my head; how about a Trophy sorting list? Separate trophy lists for PS3-PS5 games. That way we don’t have to scroll all the way down to see their PS3 games and how much trophy progress they got on them. So yeah:

    – Time played system
    – PS3 – PS5 Trophy sorting list

    Thanks.

  • So it sounds like the score will go up about ten times I think. The only thing i’ve ever wanted when it comes to trophies is separation of single-player offline trophies from multiplayer/ singer player online trophies like the DLC trophies thus making the games trophy lists future-proof, its pathetic when you play a PS3 game for example from 2010 and half the trophies were online earnable only……and the servers are switched off making the platinum trophy impossible to gain. I hate that.

  • Are the changes live yet?

  • Here’s a suggestion, what if there is an option in trophies menu for each individual game which let us earn trophies again and again, and it is tracked how many times we earned a specific trophy or how many times we earned platinum on a specific game, with the pop-up showing the count and all? Of course, with minimal score for re-earning.

    • @ZedKhanShan

      Sony😵” Stop confusing us. We’re still trying to work out how to permanently delete trophies, regardless of percentage.

      Me ” It only been 10+years 🙄🤔

  • Sweet! Can’t wait to see my new trophy level, and how this all plays out in the future.

  • Do only certain people get their trophies changed?

  • I would Love to see these new Icons on PS4! They Look so good, in my opinion.

  • MONEY REWARDING FOR THE TROPYS…so why dont you give Money for the tropy????may be 1 dolar for 1 platin tropy??this is the real rewarding for players and the best motivation for play longer..how cant you see that ı cant understand..ıf ı be the maneger of the playstation thıs will be the first work for me to do..MONEY REWARDING FOR THE TROPYS.

  • Well that was a waste… been at LVL 100 for about 2 years…. and now I’m at 999. Can you please get rid of the cap?

  • Honestly, I was hoping part of the announcement was going to be that you could see progress on your trophies.

    Trophies like “perform 10 dives from 100m”, where it takes long to climb up and there’s no altitude on the HUD, they need to show progress bars in the trophy info “0/10”. I don’t want to find out 10 long, yet ineligible jumps later that i wasted my time. PS are far behind Xbox and Steam on this. Come on Sony, what are you waiting for!

    • That has very little to do with Sony, but the game developers. If a game doesn’t track that, there’s no way for Sony to do so. So in-game tracking first.

  • My current level is 20 so I guess that makes me upper 200s or lower 300s with this update.

  • L’idea dei trofei è ben fatta ma mal sviluppata… Fate in modo che chi ha un livello alto possa avere sconti su prodotti Sony o su esclusive Sony (come Xbox fa da sempre).

  • epic i’m no lv 210

  • Thanks for the update, but I’m hoping that you have more up your sleeve when it comes to enhancing the trophy system. Patiently waiting to see more UI features too.

  • It’s almost 3 am where I am in the US and for me it’s still at level 28. I see people on my friends list in the 200’s though. What’s up with that?

  • is cod cold war free I need to check the store

  • I would still love to see the option to completely delete certain trophy lists from both online and local (not just hide them).

  • OH MY GOD I’M SO RELIEVED. I tought my account was hacked when i see my level suddenly Increased from level 12 to 211. Thank god it was sony who make it happen.

  • Whether the new trophy level icons will be available on ps4?

  • Please add a search function in the trophy list, to be able to find a game fast.. Sorting by platform is also something you need to consider.

  • Regarding my.playstaton.com, is the What’s New page supposed to be gone?

  • I woke up after a few hours and logged in after scoring some trophies on my Vita. I hadn’t logged them yet and was like…WHAT THE. I hadn’t read this blog and thought something is seriously wrong. I was at level 18 and had like 61% before this. So I had no idea this was coming . Then I pull it up and I breath a lot easier. But yeah kinda wild to go from level 18 to 313 in that quick.

  • Would be a better update if they gave us the ability to just turn off trophies! Only ever played 1 game to 100% and that was a Lego game just to see what the platinum was all about. Wasn’t impressed lol. I would rather just play the games and not hear the annoying “satisfying sound”. I guess the trophy thing is a game within a game for some but for me I would rather disable it and never look back.

    • @KnightRid

      I feel the same as you. There should be an option by now to permanently delete trophies and switch off trophies from the system altogether. I’ve actually switched off the annoying pings, but the trophies still appear.

      I would like to start seeing more developers make there own awards for players who complete tasks in the game to unlock prizes. Here’s an example,

      Concept Art
      Behind the scenes
      Interviews
      Music tracks
      Trivia
      Trailers

      We don’t see many developers or games gave this sort of bonus content in games as unlockables anymore.

  • Is there any reason mine has not changed? Both online and on the PS4 haven’t updated.

  • Lol, was previously on level 8… NOW IM AT 142!! Honestly, I forgot this update was happening, and I woke up and saw my trophies and though ‘holy crap, what did I do last night??’ Like, just replaying Day’s Gone couldnt’ve done that 😂😂

  • I’m still Level 13 and all my friends have theirs updated soo… I’ve tried everything like 2 of my friends are trohey hunters rip pls fix that

  • And what’s the point of this?? Instead of re-inventing a wheel, how about implementing some actual rewards into your Trophy system, Sony? I mean like granting a permanent 5% PS Store discount to those who reached Level 20 or something?

    • Imagine that…haha.They shut down their reward site for a reason they aint giving us anything for trophies.

  • Thank you! This is the worst update ever. A guy with lvl 15 got lvl 270 now, and me with lvl 21 have 339 lvl only.

  • Almost 8AM on the East Coast and NO update!!!!

  • Why is there no option to permanently delete your trophies?

  • Sony, you need to scale trophies based on rarity. Too many throwaway games get released with nothing but 12 gold trophies and a platinum that takes 20 minutes to complete. If a trophy is common to achieve it should NOT have a Gold trophy associated with it. Same with a Silver trophy. All Common trophies should become Bronze if that many people have them. Ultra Rare should be Gold, Very Rare/Rare should be Silver. And when the percentage of people who have them rises the trophy rating should get lowered.

    Platinum trophies should still stay as a platinum as they represent full completion and mastery of a game. But the trophy system is dangerously close to becoming meaningless when Gold/Silver/Bronze trophies hold zero consistency with how hard or easy they are to get. Even some Platinum trophies are very questionable.

    Maybe it’s time for a Diamond rank trophy for the real hard games. Or a Blue trophy for Sony exclusive games.

    But at least help get the trophy system back on track before it becomes a broken and holds no water.

    • It’s already broken and pretty much meaningless since the shovelware took over the PS4.Lame games that you can get plat in 2h or minutes…it’s pathetic.Back on PS3 days you saw someone with lotta plats you could say “wow” now it’s 98% for sure the person will have my name is mayo on their list ha.

  • Trophies for games from the PlayStation plus Collection will be treated as new trophies and stack or will they have the same trophy list from ps4?

    I.e. i have platinum for God of war and infamous on PS4, of I play
    The +Collection on ps5, will i get new trophies?

  • Ha good old Sony change things that don’t need change,do the unnecessary but don’t fix what needs to be fixed,don’t change what needs to be changed.Y’all just made a mess of the trophy lvls…good job lol.

    How about fixing the glitchy activity feed on PS4?…how about fixing the dumb error that makes the Store reload the page on its own putting you way up there again when you’re down in the list looking at the sales?…that error that quits you outta the game asking you to update it and the system while both are already updated?…and fixing recorded videos skipping themselves?….no right?…y’all moving to PS5 without fixing that bs.

    Priorities…

    • Yep, whoever makes this kind of strange and uncalled decisions at Sony needs to be fired asap. Just goes to show how little they actually care about their consumers.
