While we're obviously massive fans of the PlayStation ecosystem, particularly its peerless stable of first-party studios, there are plenty of things Sony Interactive Entertainment could do to engender further goodwill. One thing we've been wanting for a while now is Trophy support for PS5 games on PC, something which appears to be one step closer to reality, although we should stress nothing official has been announced.
TrueTrophie's scanners picked up a new PS5 Trophy list, which has an intriguing additional platform attached: "PSPC". The list itself appears to be a test; titled "Trophy Set"; it isn't attached to a particular game, and TrueTrophies notes that it would be unusual for a developer to be able to submit their own platforms to PSN, suggesting this list comes from Sony in some capacity.
Delving deeper, TrueTrophies says that this platform is separate from PS5 but capable of connecting to it, which might mean it shares compatibility. This isn't anything new; as the PlayStation faithful will recall, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 games were capable of sharing a unified list across those platforms. Previously, Sony added PSN support to the PC release of Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered back in October 2022, allowing players to link their Steam accounts in order to unlock an exclusive skin. Small things on their own, potentially, but a situation we'll be keeping an eye on.
If you didn't know, TrueTrophies is a website dedicated to the essential work of chronicling PlayStation Trophies for hardcore hunters. They use scanners to scrape the nightmarishly barnacled underbelly of the PlayStation Network, allowing for the most up-to-date trophy lists possible, sometimes dangerously so. For example, TrueTrophies had Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Trophy list weeks ago, the titles of which contain some story spoilers.

Hopefully this signals that Sony may add trophies to mobile games going forwards. I don’t really care about PC (in fact I’d rather it not be on there unless it can detect mods and disable them) but if they added this to any mobile games they make it might actually make me consider those games.
I hate to think that people that pirate games and use addons and hacks will be able to beat the games and get the rare platinums without playing the games proper will skewer the trophylist and so on... Personally I really really hate the fact that console Sony with great games became greedy PC elitist company. Just my personal take on this.
I bought a PS5 day one, I bought PSVR 2 day one. Sony's news the last 3 years are PS5 (with a few release games)PC,PC,PC,PC,LIVESERVICEGAMES,PC,PC,PSVR2,PC,PC,LIVESERVICEGAMES,PC and more PC...
A shame Jim Ryan got to stay for so long and ruin the Playstation we all grow up with and loved
Edit: Forgot PC, DUALSENSE EDGE, PC, PC, PORTAL, PC, PS5 SLIM, PS5 EARBUDS, PC,PC.
Were are the f***ing PS5 games Sony??!! And yes, I preordered and preloaded Spiderman 2! But will I have to wait 3 more years for next Singleplayer game??!!!!
If they continue with improvements in trophies, I would like some filters and order options for trophies. It would be awesome to see all platinums without scrolling all the list, or order by number of golds, o number total of trophies to see some fun facts.
And maybe people would stop to ask for an option to delete games, if they can see only their platinum games at the top
Always thought it would make sense for PSN to be available on PC after Sony's clear attempt to branch out of console. Maybe that's what we'll eventually see
Oh that’d be cool, if I had a pc
@Zeke68 hate to break it to you but it’s already the case on vita and ps3 I think. If not ps4 too.
@Zeke68 but there are so many third party games to look forward to.
@Zeke68 define playing a game ''proper''. trophies have been devalued a long time ago mate.
Is the value of the platinum of your average telltale game worth the same as demons souls? or the same as those 3 euro games where you can plat in 5 minutes? according to people not but to sony it is.
@CutchuSlow I know, I play Lords Of The Fallen (2023) right now. It's NOT that PS5 don't have great games, it's all about Sony doesn't support their own platform with 1st party games because PC and Hardware is their 1st prio and I hate that tbh. I bought every Playstation console for their GAMES, not every single revision and crap they try to show down our throats.
It's ages ago since most of their 20ish studios released a game apart from Insomniac who singlehanded carry Sony so far this generation and to some degree Guerrilla Games with Horizon games and Sonys only real firstparty PSVR2 title to this date...
(Yeah I know GT7 have a great PSVR2 patch too)
So what's up for next year from Sony ? Gaasgames and maybe a Pro, and I just know PC,PC,PC versions of Playstationgames.
But what about us that support(ed) them for the great thirdperson singleplayergames?? Are we not important for Sony anymore?!
They say we are but were are the games in that case?!
@BrintaPap At least trophies earned without addons and cheats on PC is a great start!
I finally got out of my trophy addiction when I switched to PC this gen, and now Sony is at the door again like some sleazy drug dealer!
All I want is for them to overhaul the main trophy UI on PS5. It's hideous imo.
@Zeke68 I'm not a fan of those games, so I don't really care and I don't have a PS5. I switched to PC this gen
@Zeke68 If this bothers you, definitely don't look at that game console from a company you may not have heard of... think it's called Microsoft. At least with Sony, it's way after the fact, usually.
It comes from sony. In order for a 3rd party to provide a trophy list they have to pick a collection of trophy enumerations from a drop down list. Even if they could put their own value in, it wouldn't be bound to anything. Particularly a name string like PSPC.
The list includes everything from platform specific to shared platform. If memory serves PS3/PSV/PS4 was one of the options as an example of a shared platform.
So I think this is coming. The real question is, will they back port to older titles.
