Earning PS5 Trophies Might Net You Some Digital Rewards

Cool, always thought they do something like this more often. Like the Avatar you receive when you get a platinum from some Sony games.

I’ll still stand by sony needing to bring back playstation home and link rewards in the game to trophy progression. Like if you get the platinum trophy for lego star wars the skywalker saga you’d get the lego death star in home to display.

I remember back then a ps3 game that rewarded you a theme when you unlock a certain trophy, forgot what game it was

Nice idea! Just hope those rewards aren't for only incredibly difficult trophies! I enjoy playing the games more than stressing about getting every trophy.

Good thing! Looking forward to this!

It'd be cool and give an extra incentive to earning trophies.

Sony's been leading up to this on PS4. Like people have mentioned, some games have given out exclusive avatars if you have the Platinum. Then there are games like Persona 5 Royal, that dished out loads of avatars and even themes based on your progress through the game.

It'll be really cool if PS5 expands on this.

Excellent news, mainly because I never got my Platinum avatar for HZD or GoW despite getting both so hopefully this means I won't miss out moving forward on such rewards!

Reward my addiction. Yaaaas

I’d just like all games to have a reward for unlocking the plat. This rookie trophy in the screenshot shouldn’t open rewards, every game would just get bogged down with pointless stuff.

I’d love that to happen, but with that game showing this, it seems more likely that that is for an in-game reward.

@3MonthBeef some people like to 100% games they love, some people’s game is seeing how many games they can 100%. Just because that’s not what you enjoy why hate?

I think it's entirely possible that this is just relating to your in game profile banner and avatar for destruction all-stars (like setting your online title and things in Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat) and not necessarily indicative of some wider change to trophies in general

Im down for any addition Sony wants to put in on trophies. I really wished they would have showed them in the UI demonstration

I’m just going to go on record and say trophies are a good thing. If I have really enjoyed a game I will look at the trophy list and maybe see about getting the platinum if it can give me more enjoyment in a game. Also if I’m between games I sometimes take a look at my psn profiles page to see “easy” trophies and that leads me to open games like castle crashers again and enjoy some gems that I maybe didn’t give time to before.

UK launch one month to go 😁😁😆

I quite like the approach Steam took in the early days where you might get backgrounds and avatars to use on your profile. Then they moved out to be based on sets of trading cards, which are based purely on play time I think.

Getting a cool avatar from your favourite game is a great piece of engagement and rewards you for someone you probably would have done anyway, but giving you that extra little dopamine hit.

The ps3 and ps4 both have the ability to award you themes and avatars when you get certain trophies, though it's rarely used (white knight Chronicles 2 is the only game know of that did it properly, horizon zero dawn and person 5 royal both award themes for specific trophies, but they're delivered via codes in emails rather than directly on the console)

@darkswabber Only in the US it was never released in the rest of the world so too be honest i could not care less.

Yay, now that I'm too old and busy for trophy hunting.

@ShogunRok "Sony's been leading up to this on PS4. Like people have mentioned, some games have given out exclusive avatars if you have the Platinum."

Will be great as long as they ensure that people actually get them, and that it isn't decided by region or by random. Never did get my theme for Horizon. It really needs to be an "everyone or no-one" approach.

@ChilledGamer Mentioning Trophy's Or Achievements In a Nintendo Forum Is a Death Wish Lol.

@LouigiQuiday Final Fantasy XIII had Theme for unlocking certain trophies

It would be nice if more games did it. Got quite a good lot of free things for getting the platinum on Sony's exclusive games. Persona 5 Royal was the most generous. A lot of free themes and avatars for reaching a certain point's of the story along the way.

Hate trophies. Removed the notifications. Wish there was an option to completely turn them off.

@3MonthBeef That was probably me. I mentioned doing that so I never had any possible reason to ever go back to it. I didn't do it for trophy reasons though (trophies are the lowest form of recognition to me across all platforms that measure them to me).

Compared to my other platinums (except The Order 1886, which I did out of boredom 1 night years after playing it) which were all out of love for the games. I didn't want to ever come back to it so I made sure it would never be a potential "well I'm bored, think I'll randomly get a trophy or something".

Welcome to like 8 years ago... Microsoft has had xbox rewards forever at this point. I haven't paid for xbl in 6 years. I'm going to end up making my first payment in March 2021 simply because gamepass ultimate is $5 more expensive.

Sony should expand this past achievements..sorry trophies.

@3MonthBeef I'm weird like that.
