![Trophies PS5 PS4 PlayStation Platinums 1](https://images.pushsquare.com/27e87bc37c2d8/trophies-ps5-ps4-playstation-platinums-1.900x.jpg)
We’re all familiar with the floods of games on the PS Store that promise easy Platinums, but sometimes they can be quite costly. That’s not currently the case, as the much anticipated January sale has dramatically reduced the price of select titles. It should be noted that not every game with an easy Trophy list is as simple as Stroke the Spider or The Jumping Churros. In fact, there are some decent titles you can pick up for pennies right now, and an easy Platinum is just the cherry on the top.
Consider a game like Foxyland and its sequel, for example: these are vibrant side-scrolling platformers with approximately 96% completion rates and price tags of £0.39/$0.59 apiece. They’re not going to win any awards, obviously, but they’re perfectly enjoyable games. We’d say the same about InkSplosion, a juicy dual-joystick shooter with an 85% completion rate and another £0.39/$0.59 price tag. In fact, there are dozens of these: Random Heroes, Prehistoric Dude, Super Destronaut DX – all easy Platinums, a few pennies each, and, crucially, proper games.
Have a browse through the PS Store and see if anything catches your fancy. This is a good opportunity to pick up some cheap minigames, with the added bonus of seriously bloating your Trophy cabinet in the process.

Pat The Platinum.
Stoke The Platinum.
Even if free I wouldn't play these trash games. I would rather quit gaming.
Thanks for the info, but I ain't some cheap platinum floosey. My platinums have to be special. Games I'm committed to and want in my life long term. Because I respect them, and they respect me.
I... I took that paragraph way too far...
Is super destonaut any good then I like space invaders but assumed it was just a cheap crappy knock-off
Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour & HotShot Racing are only £1.59 each so I'll pick those up , dishonoured 2 is less than a fiver aswell so Ill get that seen as I just got the first one in the other sale
@Would_you_kindly no it’s terrible. I don’t go for these kinds of games anymore. Just shovelware
@Would_you_kindly
If Hotshot Racing is really that price then you should definitely pick that up, as should everybody else. It is brilliant.
@Would_you_kindly Yeah, it's okay. I quite enjoyed it for a quick blast.
I'd rather pool all the 50 cents's I could pay to buy a ton of these proper games and buy a single proper proper game instead.
These games make for a nice freshener between larger titles.
@BeerIsAwesome In my opinion, Ratalaika-published games have the best track record with regards to the chances of being an actually good game. They’re always cheaply-made games, and most look like they were made in the same pixel-platformer game making toolkit, but you can tell that some effort was put into making them.
Going down the tier-list of easy-plat publishers, eastasiasoft would be next. Their games range from trashy-but-fun to just plain trash, but the developers put at least some time in to make them.
Sometimes You is one that I avoid personally, but might have a chance of being actual games that someone could play.
Every other publisher, like Smobile, ThiGames, Breakthrough Gaming, Game Achievements, and about a hundred other ones you’ve never heard of: all garbage that should never be allowed on the PlayStation Store, let alone have someone actuality play them. Getting easy plats can be fun, if that’s something you’re in to, but giving money to developers that just copy-paste their last game - changing only the name of the game or replacing the image of a different animal - that’s just wrong.
This felt like a bait-and-switch after clicking on the article...
munches tobacco back in my day a platinum meant something. I still remember getting my first final fantasy 13, took me ages, and even that was considered to be one of the easier ones at the time.
Edit : I remember someone on the official playstation forum (rip) talking about having 50 platinums. They were met with both awe and a discussion about whether they had a life or not.
@Would_you_kindly yea i picked up dishonored 2 never got around to playing that game but for $5 that's a steal
Nobody cares about your platinums, don’t play this crap just to pad some numbers.
Platinums should only be awarded to games on the hardest difficulties, that take 14,000+ hours to complete and have one hit permadeaths. They should include online only trophies where you have to be number 1 on worldwide leaderboards for 3 years straight. Have 60,000 collectibles where some are only available in a 30 minute window, without any prior warning.
Anything else is a joke and people should have their kiddie trophies deleted. Facts.
@UnlimitedSevens if your that elitist i wouldnt want to have you has a friend anyway especially if you discriminate over video games. your the one who needs a life. this is why i hate most ppl cuz of ppl like you. your defo not a real one just fake friends lmao. the only time i would judge someone is if there racist or homophobic. but to judge someone over a plat is pathetic and sad.you cant have many friends. video game plats are fake and meaningless anyway they dont do anything lol even as a trophy hunter myself there meaningless. you cant take them with you when you die. and b4 you say anthing most of my 194 plats are triple A games with just a few shovelware.
@SerJosh97
Look, I openly admit it is wrong-headed and elitist, but I can't help how I feel about it. I'm not perfect, and yeah I agree trophies are worthless except what they mean to you the player. And to me, they are a badge of a challenge overcome. I have "easy" games on my list that I played just because I thought they were good games like Tales of the Borderlands. And I'm actually proud of those too.
I'm talking specifically about those 5 minute platinum games. Why do people do that? Like, you want to see your numbers and stats go up, I get that. But if anyone actually takes a few seconds to look at your game list, the jig is up and any small sort of esteem you were trying to get is instantly vanished. And yeah, I always look. The accounts I delete I consider the equivalent of an email spam folder.
I would put it this way: I detest people that stack their accounts up with these games. But I wouldn't go so far as to ban or remove the garbage games from PSN. I don't like that people do this, but I respect people's right to do what they want up to and including infecting their account with these digital STDs.
I'm talking about a very weird and specific breed of trophy hunter. The people that blow hundreds of dollars on junk games to pump their score up to those of us that have been doing this regularly for 14+ years now. They absolutely have the right to do it. They just won't be doing it on my friend's list is all I'm saying. And the 150 or so people that go for trophies on my friends list would agree with me. But that's okay, I'm sure they have their own friends. It takes all kinds after all!
