Sony has described how trophies are changing as we get closer to the launch of the PlayStation 5.
In a post on the PlayStation blog, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s director of product management Toshimasa Aoki revealed that the trophy level will change from the current range of 1-100 to 1-999.
Following an update released tonight in the US and tomorrow in Europe, your trophy level will automatically be reassigned to a new level within this new range based on the trophies you have already earned. For example, if your trophy level is 12, your new level will be somewhere under 200. This is how it looks on a PlayStation 4:
Sony’s new trophy calculation means that players will advance through the starting levels faster and levels will increase more consistently. Platinum trophies will count more towards your level progression, making them even more valuable, Aoki added.
With the new trophy tiers come new trophy tier icons on PS5, as well as the PlayStation app at a later date. Currently the trophy icon is just a gold star. Here are the new trophy level icons:
Note: the icons will also have a subtle distinction to visually suggest how close you are to the next level.
Aoki clarified that the trophies you’ve earned on previous PlayStation systems will come with you to PS5. The new trophy tiers will be reflected in all locations where trophy tiers are displayed, including older systems, the app, and My PlayStation.
So, in short: the new trophies are designed to encourage people who like to see your level.
