Summary
It might be hard to believe, but there was once a time whenPlayStationTrophies weren’t a thing. It wasn’t until 2008 that PlayStation Trophies were added to thePS3, andUncharted: Drake’s Fortunewasthe very first Platinum gamers could chase. In the time since, Trophies have become a staple,with some harder to achieve than others.
Of course, not every game has a complicated list of Trophies (cough, Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered), withsome being super easy to obtain. But for those who stuck it out, the Platinum Trophy is a badge of honor. And so,taking it to Reddit, gamers flexed their rarest accomplishments.
How Rare Can You Go?
Right off the rip, one gamer noted bothKillzone Shadow Fall(0.1% rarity) andDevil May Cry 5(0.3%)as their rarest titles. A launch game,Shadow Fall, has some pretty hard trophies,including a multiplayer Gold that requires players top 1,000,000 points. Meanwhile, Devil May Cry hasplayers needing to complete the game on Hell and Hell mode, pluscompleting the infamous Bloody Palace with every character.
On theGrand Theft Autoside of things, one player shared thatIVon PS3has a 0.97% rarity. The many — and we mean many —multiplayer trophies are likely a barrier for most gamers. Take it fromTheGamer’s Dominic Allen if you don’t believe it.
In an interesting twist,one gamer has the Platinum of UFC 5, which has a 0.4% rarity. Anotherhas the FIFA 23 Platinum, with a 0.1% rarity. It’s not often you think of sports titles as ones with hard Trophy lists, but you learn new things every day.
Of course, we’d be remiss if we didn’t give propsto the gamers who flexed their Wolfenstein Platinums. “Nobody understands the insanity of Mein Leben until they try it,”one player wrote in response. For those out of the loop, Mein Leben requires players to beat the game on the equivalent of “Ultra Hard” without any checkpoints and with permadeath on. Yeah, that’s some serious effort.
Regardless of what your rarest Platinum trophy is, one thing is for certain — gaming is a lot better with Trophies.
