What in the name of Sully’s holy ‘stache is this? How, we beg, has Naughty Dog managed to cock up Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection’s Trophies quite like this? This a truly head-scratching effort from one of Sony’s first-party studios, and we daresay it will cost the company a couple of quid, as there’s no doubt plenty were looking to upgrade their game for a couple of free Platinums.
So, here’s the situation: the compilation has just one Platinum Trophy, with almost all of the gongs attached to it assigned to Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. There’s one new Trophy in Nathan Drake’s concluding campaign, however, which relates to unlocking all the Trophies in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy. You’ll need to get that in order to snag the Platinum in Uncharted 4.
But what of the Trophies in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, we hear you scream? Well, instead of having its own list of gongs – as was the case in the PlayStation 4 version – its precious pots are listed as DLC for Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. There are 49 of them in total, so you’re not necessarily being short-changed in pure numbers – but you’ll only get one Platinum Trophy for your troubles, rather than two.
You can import your save data from the PS4 version and the Trophies you’ve already got will auto-unlock, although we have read some reports of this not working perfectly depending upon how you got the gongs in the original. Your mileage may vary, then.
Obviously, this isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things, and we’re being a bit facetious in the article. But still, we’ve got no idea why Naughty Dog decided to structure the Trophies like this, and why it’s effectively removed a Platinum from The Lost Legacy. A head-scratching decision, for sure, but we still recommend the game, and you can read our review to find out why through here.

Hate 1 plat compilations! 🤬
@colonelkilgore What are they doing? Like, they have the functionality to give one game multiple lists, and yet they decided to structure it like this. Bizarre.
Also, I love your avatar!
I ain‘t get that whole trophy thing. Who cares about trophies? Can you buy something with them? Do you feel better with a plat? I don‘t get it
Absolutely baffling. I’ve played several games this year alone which have separate platinums for the games in the collection. And this is first party.
@get2sammyb thanks buddy. Yeah it makes absolutely no sense at all.
Well I still have the two PS4 games in my backlog, so I’ll be getting 2 plats at 30fps rather than 1 at 60… actually maybe I’m the mug 🤔
WHYYYYYYY??? Why is this a thing?!?! Why is it not just PS5 versions of each game? Honestly, how hard is this omg 😂😭😂😭
I remember I never got the original platinum on U4 just because of the stupid speed run trophy. I've never liked the idea of speed runs and to tie a trophy to it forcing you to skip cutscenes? No thank you Naughty Dog!
Naughty... Dog.
It’s right there in the name.
Between the convoluted upgrade path and now this trophy list, this is one of the most "wtf we're they thinking" releases in a long time.
@LIMA I didn’t used to get it either mate… now I try and plat everything. It scratches my OCD itch!
I...... don't care? Can I say that?
I feel like this going to be an issue for people that really care about 100%-ing games... but I just want a game that looks pretty to look prettier.
It's probably because Lost Legacy was DLC for Uncharted 4 well before it was a stand alone game. They finally have the two seamlessly merged as one unit as was originally intended. I was one of the few that bought the season pass of Uncharted 4 before the game even released and Lost Legacy was a part of that. At the time of buying it, the DLC was simply stated as single player story driven DLC... a first for the series.
I honestly wonder just how many people won't but this game just because they can't get two platinums?
I mean if it really makes you upset then buy it on steam so you can stick it to Sony, I guess.
Never gave a d**n about trophies. I play games for the experience.
Naughty Dog ruined the moment.
Well this is terrible!
But actually I saw someone on Reddit in that "2021 stats" thing, it showed he already played the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection in 2021 lol So I assumed the trophies would be the same for the old games and "new" ones! I guess that isn't the case?
Ok, so let me see if i have this right in regards to upgrading digital versions.
If I don't upgrade and leave my games as two seperate releases, I will still have two separate trophy lists as they are two separate games.
But if I do upgrade, they get bunched into a new list with one platinum? Or do I still have two separate trophy lists?
@Jayslow
Next up, The last of Us remake. Totally unnecessary and a waste of time and resources. 🤦♂️
Better take that review score down to 7/10 because of this.
@Korgon
Yeah, just when I thought tying trophies to difficulty settings was bad enough, even worse when the hardest difficulties are sometimes locked to 2nd playthrough.
But a speed run trophy? Where I can play for 4 hours and 1 minute, botch the trophy, and have to start over again? No thanks!
The other major annoying type of trophy is one that requires multiple playthroughs to get. Prey for example would need at least 4 playthroughs to get the platinum. Get that crap outta here.
"no doubt plenty were looking to upgrade their game for a couple of free Platinums"
I'd really like to believe that's not true, but I imagine there's lots of people who will spend £10 to pop the trophies and then never play the games again.
Probably quite a few of them being also vocal about having to pay £10 for the upgrade too.
IMHO, the trophies should be entirely separate anyway, new version means redo the trophies if they mean that much to you.
Complete ass
Definitely a non issue for me. It won't change anything about the game.
Yet today they announced a giveaway where we’ll get Tiny Tina’s DLC which was turned into a standalone game with a separate platinum, and makes me tempted to play it again.
How is it that the third parties get it right and Sony gets it wrong? 😄
@jFug I also play games for the experience, then after I finish the experience I do the trophies so I'm able to get more out of a game then you 🙂
Don’t really care for trophies as much after i got 22 plats in 2021 and all i got at the end of the year was an avatar to redeem 🥲
No issue for me since I got the platinum trophies for both PS4 games. Oh, and yeah. I am that person that plans to pay $10 just to get another easy platinum. 🏆
I only have one Platinum trophy to my name (Horizon Zero Dawn) and I don’t intend to get any more platinums any time soon.
This decision does suck for trophy hunters (and Push Square has a few diehards) but it means very little to the vast majority.
@Kang81 i dont believe so. Your PS4 trophy lists will remain untouched regardless, but if you choose to upgrade to Legacy of thieves collection you will get an additional trophy list for the legacy of thieves collection.
If you transfer your save data from PS4 to PS5, those trophies already earned on PS4 will pop automatically on the PS5 trophy list - meaning you just need to collect the one new trophy mentioned in the article to platinum that game too. There is just no separate plat for lost legacy as those trophies are bundled up as dlc - which makes sense as it was originally envisaged as dlc for U4 anyway.
So long story short, no, your ps4 trophy lists will be unaffected
Yeah, this is an awkward trophy list for trophy hunters like myself. Even the Ezio Collection by Ubisoft which included AC2, Brotherhood, and Revelations had three different platinums you could get. They even removed all the multiplayer trophies as well.
Do people really base purchase decisions on something as intrinsically worthless and unimportant as trophies?
@redcorpuscle eh, a lot of people consider gaming to be intrinsically worthless, everyones got different views.
I've become less concerned about trophies lately, havent gone for a platinum for a while, but they do add sone accomplishment for many.
I didnt buy final fantasy 9 just out of protest at that skipping rope trophy. 'Hey guys, remember the most disliked part of the game? Well enjoy this'
I have tons of games on low trophy percentage atm so right I'm just playing games. Ubless they're quite easy, I'm trying to see platinums more as a second playthrough after finishing my whole backlog kind of thing. Not sure that will happen anyway haha
Saying that, someone messaged me about Far Cry 5 a few days ago and we got the last online trophies together over an hour of just farming kills on each other. Lol
@Reyren I am! Still planning to upgrade to this, but this is definitely silly.
@redcorpuscle They definitely do! There are developers out there making games that are sold entirely on the basis they have easy Trophies!
For real!
Who cares about trophies? I just finished Breath of the Wild and not once did I feel like I needed a trophy for doing something.
Glad I will get this on PC where I don't care AT ALL about achievements anymore, it is a breath of fresh air and I can now play any game I feel like playing without worrying about plats, looking at you DMC franchise. I've had my fill of 96 plats, but I actually like the fact that the collection has its own set of trophies, it will stop all the auto-poppers and will force them to actually PLAY the game again because these two games deserve to be played through again.
@LIMA they're a record of your gaming accomplishments that aren't tied to a save file or the game itself. Some people like to fully complete the games they play, which involves getting all the trophies.
That's good. Some of y'all like cheap platinums.
Just baffling...
@Kang81 you mean the rumour that it's treated as fact?
Really stupid idea
I’ve always found Naughty Dog’s trophy choices to be absolutely awful.
I don’t care about auto pops, in fact I don’t like them, but to only have one plat for the whole collection is terrible and unnecessary. Especially with how long these games are. Still, the plat isn’t a challenge trophy only a collection gong, so given LL still has its own trophies it could have been worse.
@LIMA
Yeah, hate it when developers set me challenges in a game (sarcasm).
@mvhess
It’s not really about having a trophy for doing something, it’s about having more things to do (and, yes, I know I could imagine up these challenges for myself and make lists rather than have the developers make them for me, but I’m lazy and unimaginative).
I really don’t understand force dropping a platinum of a brand new ps5 game with your PS4 save ? Do people really spend that money to get a game , never play it and just drop the platinum ? How odd ? Someone justify this to me so I can understand ?
@Lincolnwho
There is no justification. Hate auto pop trophies. For me, trophies are there to be a challenge and record gaming history.
Then again, each to their own. Some people like collecting things just to have them (in fact most people I guess).
Surely they'll change it to two Platinum lists before release? The backlash has been quite strong!
Out of all the stupid things Sony does, this surely has to be at the bottom of it, no?
Wait does it reverse unlock... so if I continue on ps5 and get all trophies and then install the ps4 version again? Confused. Maybe I should just play for the fun of it, crazy idea right?
@tameshiyaku always play for the fun anything else is a bonus 😊
They are pointless so who cares.
Poor platinum addicts 🤣 it is what it is.
Removing multiplayer is a very good thing for me. Now I can try to go for the platinum.
Not as bothered by this as much as I am that I can't download Uncharted 4 again. I paid for it, it's mine. Disgusting practice. Sony are losing it.
The real bust is charging 10$ for a graphical upgrade.
@LIMA
Reeeeeee every single time something about trophies get posted I have to whine about it and yell out all my logical thoughts instead, while being narrow-minded and not being capable of understanding that they're fun extra challenges people like to go for. Others like other things than me!? Ridiculous
@Futureshark I agree 100%. When I bought the DC version of Death Stranding I was determined to plat it again instead of importing my old trophies. Importing old trophies also messes with the % count. For example, vanillla Death Stranding platinum is 2.8% while the DC is 3.1%...
Its just another example of Sony seeming out of touch with their player base. And unfortunately they are so out of touch they will never even see these issues let alone acknowledge them.
@BowTiesAreCool why can't you download it? Is it not in your download list?
@Robinsad Sony removed it, apparently a few weeks ago
Nah sorry, I refuse to believe anyone would not buy this game just because of a certain platinum requirement lmao
I’d never be getting the platinums for this anyway, don’t have the patience to finish the game on crushing haha!
@a1904 you'd be surprised...
@BoldAndBrash oh, yeah. That's what's ridiculous. Not skipping games because they have no platinum or because the platinum takes too long.
@BowTiesAreCool from the store, not your download list
@Juanalf "I also play games for the experience, then after I finish the experience I do the trophies so I'm able to get more out of a game then you 🙂"
Creepy
@naruball
You're taking the extremes as an example to defend what he said. I like trophies. Love getting plats on games I really like.
It's not gonna prevent me from buying this game and this is the case for most people.
The original comment was only about dissing people who actually like trophies. Your comment is completely irrelevant
@thefourfoldroot I mean, there are people who eat furniture or are married to their pillows. No justification necessary
@BoldAndBrash I didn't defend anyone. Make another assumption, why won't you?
@naruball
You... Are a doozy aren't you...?
You've completely dodged the topic once again. You respond to a discussion and completely ignore what's being said. What the OP said was the topic I replied to. You've now made 2 completely irrelevant comments that have nothing to do with what's being said and then you nope out while ignoring the facts and acting like you're the innocent child that's being done wrong. Boohoo
@Robinsad correct. It's not available to download from the store.
@LIMA Trophies seem like a grand psych profile test. Humanity seems to be split into two camps. To one group it's "I don't get it, at all, how could these possibly matter to anyone, it's worthless" and to the other group they'd climb a mountain wearing no shoes without sleep for 6 months in winter just to hear the 'ding' and insist a game is worthless without perfect 'dings' - it's the whole meaning of gaming.
I, too, never thought anyone would ever even care about them when they begain. I still don't get how or why even one person cares they exist at all. They make no sense to me whatsoever. But man, the people that love them buy whole games just for the trophies, they don't play games, they play the trophy redemption machine and games are a means to do it. It's just wholly different incompatible brains.
Oh, the humanity!
@BowTiesAreCool if you go to library.PlayStation.com it’s in there to trigger a download from or you can download from your console library. They’ve taken nothing away from those who have purchased it.
@NEStalgia
Like so many comments here already, you're talking about the extreme examples of people. People go all the way in literary every aspect of gaming. Speedrunning, online, etc.
I do like that trophies exist and go for platinums for games I really like. Adds more reason to play a game that you would've otherwise put down.
What I don't get just as much as the extreme trophy hunters are people who always how to btch and whine about trophies when the topic comes up
I dont understand. If its a good game, and by all extents it is, and you have good fun playing it... whats the issue? Do people these days only play games to get some odd solo bragging right? Genuinely confused.
sooo glad i'm not a trophy whore this level of OCD is not healthy for anybody.
Regardless of the trophies BS, I don't see why anyone would bay the games again! The PS4 games should get a free boost on PS5 or at least the option to buy an upgrade!! Pointless!
@BoldAndBrash Someone posted their opinion about trophies in an article that's mostly about the extreme focus on trophies as it relates to a particular collection not satisfying that extreme. I replied to said person that I also have that opinion and that there seems to be a split of two extremes around the subject. You've made 4 posts on this thread, one to attack and ridicule the OP, one to attack the person who called you out on it, one to attack them again for their response to that attack, and one to me that, appreciatively, was much less insulting than your replies to others, but still mostly intended to argue that your opinion is right and therefore opposing opinions are wrong. You claim you're representing a moderate stance on trophies that you like them but don't go OCD over them, yet if your only contribution to the discussion of them is attacking anyone who doesn't understand the appeal to them at all, are you truly moderate in your opinion?
OMG. The people that don’t care about trophies. Good for ya. Some people don’t, some people do. Get the over it and let people enjoy what they enjoy. It doesn’t affect you. Not your problem.
This is terrible from Naughty Dog. The team who did Mass Effect (BioWare) did a splendid job with their trophy list. Different company but this should’ve been much easier. Shame on ND for this. No excuse for making this a one plat game.
I don't know what this save game importer does it certainly left lots of my already unlocked trophies for both games locked. Well I wanted to replay both games anyway
@LIMA millions upon millions do. For me it's knowing I've seen everything the game has to offer and I know I've got my moneys worth if I get the platinum.
Hopefully they will fix this and give Lost Legacy it's own Platinum trophy...but that's not going to stop me from enjoying the games of course!
Perhaps someone needs to make a game for playstation where you just go around collecting trophies, just for those OCD ing on trophy collecting.
If you collect all the Platinum trophies in the game , then you get a platinum trophy.
@colonelkilgore
You are disgusting. I love my 88 plats but I WOULD NEVER PLAY A WORSE VERSION JUST FOR TROPHIES. Yikes.
This is becoming a problem when ppl care more about headlines and frivolous things than actual games. It's why your avatar exits, why Sony gets hate and XB slides. Ppl care about everything but the games nowadays. Games like Miles Morales will auto pop trophies if u play the PS4 version first but I would never sacrifice my experience for free trophies.
@iamtylerdurden1 wow dude, I imagine that you’re real fun at parties right!
In my comment I even hinted at this in regards to the “maybe I’m the mug” line. Also I’ll probably end up playing the PS4 and PS5 versions, so I’ll get to play it at its best also.
If I were you I’d consider taking your aggression down a peg or two!
@Grimwood I Like trophies but I don't understand ppl who will play a PS4 version when they own a PS5 just to get a free plat. It's disturbing. The casual market is crippling the industry yet helping financially. The quality of fans have diminished to a point where I'm literally embarrassed to call myself a gamer sometimes. Headlines about Legacy of Thieves having one platinum and ppl boycotting Forbidden West because Zero Dawn released on PC years after the initial launch yet most fans happily accept the Activision deal and have no problem with Bethesda. They demonize Sony for frivolous garbage and let the huge, industry destroying deals go by without protest.
Bethesda should've been protested by fans, Activision should caused riots. Imagine if Sony acquired Activision when Microsoft did? Phil Spencer was actually more harsh in his criticism for Activision than Ryan and threatened to end the relationship and called Activision disgusting. Then two months later he acquired them because the lawsuits made the deal cheaper.
If Jim Ryan did that his quotes would've been on every website. Ppl would've boycotted Sony and Ryan would be public enemy number one. Everyone praised the Bethesda deal even though it meant stripping dozens of legendary multiplatform IP from half the industry. I know the Activision deal has received some criticism but it should be universal hate. It shouldn't have been allowed at all. Heck, the ARM deal is being shot down potentially. Ppl choose to take a stand against The Last of Us 2 and Days Gone not getting a sequel. For years the media slammed Sony for timed exclusivity. Now Microsoft is hijacking the biggest multiplatform IP in gaming, forever, and it's all good because Phil is charming and Microsoft is the "good guy" somehow. Did ppl forget last generation's wealth of lies or the teraflop/RDNA overhype so soon? It's sad that ppl will accept being manipulated repeatedly as long as the villain does it with a smile. Journalism is dead, ppl are sheep, the industry is in a scary place.
@colonelkilgore I apologize for being insulting. I'm just fed up with the industry tbh. I was too harsh with you. I'm sorry.
Maybe the avatar added to it? It's just disheartening to see people's reaction to a truly revolting acquisition to attack Sony somehow and praise Microsoft. Especially when the guy trashed Activision and threatened to end the relationship very recently.
I'm just displeased with the state of the industry. I know the Activision deal is off topic but it follows a trend. Articles slamming Sony for trophies. Ppl caring about everything but the games.
I honestly thought this 2022 lineup for Sony would turn the tide. PS5 is loaded, PSVR is due this fall, and Xbox is dry until maybe early summer or late spring? It's literally just been Gamepass supporting XB Series. I own a Series S and Gamepass is great, but my goodness it's like ppl care more about headlines than playing quality games. Sony is on the verge of the greatest first two years ever for a new console as long as most of the big exclusives they have this year aren't delayed and Xbox might be on the verge of the weakest first 17 months we have seen for a new generation in terms of new exclusives. I know Gamepass is nice but it can't cover every sin or lie.
The stance ppl have taken bothers me. Killing Sony for cross gen and PC. Yet Sony has at least 4 AAAs exclusive to PS5. XB has no AAA exclusives for XBS. Sony waits years to put games on PC, XB is day one. Ppl killed Sony for SSD expansion and praised Microsoft. Yet PS5 already has the far cheaper and far faster SSD expansion solution while XB uses slower, more expensive proprietary storage because they get a cut from each card. Similar to why Microsoft still uses AA batteries, because they have a deal with Duracell. I love how ppl still say expensive proprietary storage is what killed the Vita yet Xbox series is praised for it. Ppl killed Sony early on because PS5 is only 825gb while SX is 1TB yet Kraken compression has more than covered the gap. Ppl killed Sony and praised Microsoft when specs for each system where announced. Microsoft purposely sensationalized teraflop and RDNA and flaunted power. Yet performance has been basically equal with PS5 winning more than occasionally in terms of performance and all we hear is excuses about toolsets. Nobody keeps receipts with Phil Spencer but Jim Ryan and Sony are cross-examined at every turn. When Sony does live up to the hype (DualSense, SSD) ppl ignore it. When they exceed expectations (PS5 performance) no credit is given. SX was supposed to blow PS5 away yet it's merely keeping up. Phil was threatening to end the relationship with Activision...then he acquires them. He made it sound like many Bethesda games would come to PlayStation only to manipulate fans so he wouldn't lose short term sales. If Microsoft purchases another huge publisher and the deal goes through, we know there is some sort of collusion involved. Maybe it's the wealth and power but these guys get away with everything. It's scary in terms of business but sad in terms of the fanbase. Ppl eat up the phony PR and fake smiles. Lie after lie. First it was because backwards compatibility was great and now it's because of Gamepass. Microsoft is a master of marketing and manipulation. Sony not so much. I'm a PlayStation, XB, and occasional PC gamer btw. Grew up on Sega and Nintendo. PlayStation has been my number one since 2011 strictly because of performance. Games and ecosystem.
@iamtylerdurden1 it’s all good dude… and I appreciate the apology. I’m actually a Sony player through and through, the avatar is meant to be ironic.
I’ve sent you a friend request on PSN, I actually think we’d see a lot of things in a similar way. 👊
@nessisonett Me too. Mass Effect, Spyro, got 1/3 of Assasin's Creed Ezio... They should put 2 plats there.
So if you get the platinum trophy, you bust? Hell yeah, dude.
@Rob_230
Thanks for the response.
@naruball
Sorry, I'm not sure which of my comments your referring to, but im going to guess the one about a Last of Us remake.
I have no idea if it's true, as of now it's just a rumor, but if it is true it's a vast waste of time and resources.
@Uncharted2007 yeah it always felt like "what's Chloe up to" since she's not part of the crew in UC4 but a major part of the series.
Easily could've made it two Plats though. LL is a solid experience doesn't feel like DLC to me.
@Omnistalgic Oh, that's because as LL was being developed, Naughty Dog had massive scope creep. Due to that, LL became a stand alone game instead of merely DLC.
Also, I agree, it's a solid experience. I eventually bought a physical copy of it, imported a German Uncharted steelbook for it and modified the steelbook to be specific for LL. That way, I have every Uncharted in a steelbook (except Golden Abyss).
@LIMA "Who cares about trophies?"..The people who enjoy the trophy system...and there's a vast number of such people.
@Uncharted2007 I'm assuming this is what happened with Factions. What started as a TLOU2 MP project grew into it's own thing lol. ND need to manage that scope creep, don't want anymore burnout stories.
It's a strange move for sure, but it's still not as weird as Hitman 1 and 2 and subsequent remakes having no platinum trophy at all. I'm not a prolific platinum collector (currently have 27 which is small compared to some) but on the games I really love, I will try to get it.
