PS5 Trophies Will Come with Progress Tracking

I read the word "tracking" and thought Sony wanted to take my information.

That’s incredibly useful. A shame they won’t be there for PS4, it would help in FFX seeing how many lightning strikes you still need to dodge, which is a stat not built into the game that also directly impacts gameplay as you get a reward for it.

Well pleased about this, great to see that bar go up and see how many you have to go, will help with trophies big time

But will it track your play time?

@Octane Yes - this is the feature I most want. I don't know why... I just find it satisfying to know I have done a 60 hour game etc.

@Rudy_Manchego Yeah, I'd like to manage my wasted time as well.

@Octane Ha ha - I feel a strange sense of pride. As in wow - I have spent 6 hours on Hades and barely gotten past the first room. I am wasting my life.

Yaaaaaaassssss!!!!!

@HotGoomba were you worried you'd get some really suspicious game suggestions in the store? Dear not my friend, Sony will protect your innocence, so blood is OK, but a little bit of bare skin is unacceptable.

Sorry guys, but the paragraph in question has now been removed from the blog post. It probably is still a thing, though.

get yourselves over to PS Timetracker thats what I use

I'm going to miss my weird homemade checklists and Google docs needed to work through some of the more annoying trophies a tiny bit, but having it baked into the system at an OS level is a great feature for users. Have long been jealous of the Xbox achievement tracking

@nessisonett That's why you play the superior Steam version. It has tracking as well as being better in every way

So pleased with this. They’ve finally listened!

I bet we'll get proper confirmation with the UI breakdown. Which has to be coming soon now that we have the hardware teardown, right? Right..?

Never care for the tracking feature, but i'm glad they implemented since i see a lot of people asking for that.
Hope they also add the playtime stat to the UI.

@LiamCroft It's not as we expected Sony to disclose any information around the PS5. It must be twice as frustrating for you as it is for us to have so little info from Sony.

I would love a "time played" tracker. It would be depressing given how many games I buy and barely play but it's a nice feature on Switch and Steam.

I've had an email saying this feature is coming.

"PS5™ console Trophy tracker
Just how close are you to earning that rare Gold Trophy?

See what else you need to do before hearing that highly satisfying ‘ding’ sound with the all-new Trophy tracking system in supported games on the PS5™ console."

Steams has it for years when in game and you get to see how many hours you've played total and that week which I always like to know. Xbox has progress tracking now I think I don't understand why it's taken so long for them t o add such feats

@jsw-8 Thanks for pointing this out! I've received the same email, so this feature is absolutely happening.

bout time too

Thank goodness they copied this feature. Always a pain having a mini whiteboard next to me when tracking trophies ha! Definitely a welcome change

This should be entertaining for those trophies that are often glitched, like the King of the Ovals trophy for GTSport.

Nice!! This is something I've wanted for so long.

@nessisonett Can't Forget The Jump Rope Mini Game From FF9 One Thing i Want To Know is Can You Sort Your Trophy's Alphabetically.

Anyone else see the email about terms updating today to allow them to make changes to subscription services with 60 days notice? Wondering if there was anything to worry about in there as there’s been lots of other news to bury it.

Excellent I'm about 4% off level 18 and just got my 15th platinum (Nier Automata) Snake Pass and Yakuza Kiwami 2 are next on the list to plat!

@YurtleTehTurtle Orange box and Gears had built in trackers, and the Xbox One has it as standard.

It's an absolute god send.

Funny how Steam had this implemented into their achievement system for years. Nice to see it'll arrive on the PS5.

Maybe we can get physical trophies, delivered to our home address with this tracking.

@Robinsad Interesting, they are probably increasing the cost of PS+ and PSNow like they did for the games.

@nessisonett
Oh hang on....is it and the rope skip trophy in FFIX cumulative and not consecutive!???

Great staff..a welcome change.

Lol I'm put off with pre ordering consoles now. I don't have a playstation 5 lol can't believe it up never preorder again il get a ps5 when I can get one , I'm not eBay ordering desperate , I think their worthless on there , but nice to know my achievements are being tracked I'm not even interested in achievements it's a game I play it I love the story and game play achievements don't interest me.

Also at the bottom of their email

@BalsBigBrother that’s good and fine but if I’ve enjoyed a game I often go back to complete some trophies, to me it’s an aide to help you see more of the game. Like 100% a game before trophies.
