Sony never reveals every single change when it introduces new console firmware, and the same is true of PS5's big new update. You can find out about the broader changes added in this system software update here, but one little quality-of-life change hasn't been mentioned anywhere.
As spotted by YouTuber Mystic, a small but useful tweak has been made to PS5's Trophy lists. Previously, if you wanted to view the details of hidden Trophies, you'd have to scroll through and choose to reveal them one by one. With the new firmware installed, you can choose a game's Trophy list and toggle Reveal All to have all the hidden Trophies exposed at once.
It's easy to do: from the Trophies screen, highlight a game with hidden Trophies you want to see. Press Options, then hit X to toggle Reveal All on or off. You can do this per game, and the hidden Trophies will stay un-hidden until you toggle the feature off again.
Again, it's not some huge revelation, but it's a nice change for those who like working towards Trophies, or browsing them at the very least.

Mystic is honestly amazing with his PlayStation content. For me the best on YouTube.
@WadeIsInsane @AdamNovice yep agreed. Easily my favourite gaming focussed YouTuber
It's a step in the right direction, but this only applies to a single trophy list. I want to default to always showing all hidden trophies on all games.
This is so good.
That's quite a useful new feature I will almost certainly forget to use.
A small new feature but a very useful one, nice. Was a bit of a hassle before. Hope they've sorted the amount of time played a game. Like to keep check of game time every now and then for ocd comfort but when played a game for like 6 hours it just says 1 hour which does annoy the ocd a bit
I remember back in the good ol’ days when we revealed hidden trophy info by earning the trophy.
Best thing about the update
Now if they would only do some work on the main trophy UI on PS5. It really needs an overhaul.
@Th3solution…. Pepperridge Farm remembers
Why making the trophies hidden in the first place?
Thanks to the yapping UI, I turned off trophy notifications (it was talking over the game!). I have since discovered (thanks, YouTube) how to turn it off, but also noticed I haven't missed having the pop-ups for the trophies!! I have damn-near everything turned off - it's almost like the PSX/PS2 eras, & I'm fine with that!! 😸
@tofuman86 often because they might reference something that happens in the story and they could be considered to be spoilers
@Milktastrophe Baby steps indeed, but it at least shows they are listening a little bit.
