When a PlayStation 5 user eventually earns the coveted Platinum Trophy, they will see a brand-new animation thanks to a fresh firmware update. Obtaining a PS5 Platinum Trophy is always a special moment, and this pleasant addition will make gamers even more delighted than before.
Trophies and comparable accolades are now commonplace for most games, but they were not always so. The Trophy system debuted in 2008 for the PlayStation 3, although it didn’t even include Platinum Trophies right away. They first appeared in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, and initially resembled a pink crown with platinized metallic pieces. Not all PS3 titles supported Trophies, but beginning in 2009, they became a required feature, and the Platinum Trophy evolved into its present form.
Last week, PS5 user IBadDriverI revealed a surprising discovery: the latest firmware upgrade included a new animation that appears on the screen when players get the coveted Platinum Trophy. Although it may seem to be a little detail, it is a pleasant surprise for players after completing such a difficult task. Although there are many challenging PlayStation games with surprisingly simple Platinum Trophies, they all need time and effort to master.

Nevertheless, the latest PlayStation 5 update included more than simply a new animation. Now, PS5 users may access the Discord voice chat function straight from the console. Although the connection is not perfect, and players will still not have direct access to Discord while gaming, it does provide a good alternative for voice conversation. To use this function online, gamers must connect their PSN accounts to their Discord accounts. Additional firmware upgrades include enhanced 1440p video output for the system, quality-of-life improvements when transferring data from one PS5 to another, and improved voice command support.
Although the new award animation demonstrates that Sony is actively working to improve its systems for high-achieving players, they still miss certain widely requested features. For example, the corporation might provide PS5 gamers with a real trophy case, something they now lack. One of the most exciting aspects of trophy hunting is definitely showing them out to friends, therefore improved presentation choices would be appreciated. Such a move might provide players even more motivation to pursue Platinum Trophies and spend more time in PlayStation 5 titles to complete all assignments.
