How do Trophies Work on PS4?
Trophies on PS4 work by rewarding players with points for achieving specific milestones or goals in a game, with each type of trophy worth a different amount of points: bronze trophies are worth 15 points, silver trophies are worth 30 points, gold trophies are worth 90 points, and platinum trophies are worth 180 points. The points earned from trophies contribute to a player’s trophy level, which increases as more points are accumulated, with higher levels requiring more points to level up.
Understanding Trophy Levels and Points
The PS4 trophy system is designed to provide a sense of accomplishment and progression as players earn trophies and increase their trophy level. To level up, players must accumulate a certain number of points, which are awarded based on the type of trophy earned.
