Many games for the Playstation have trophies that you can collect. The Platinum trophy is the most coveted of them and requires a lot of work. A Playstation player has collected 15,000 Platinum trophies, yet that is still not enough for the 1st place.
Which player is it? The Playstation fan timpurnat posted on X on August 23, proudly sharing his latest achievement of 15,000 Platinum trophies. With this number, he only ranks 3rd for the most Platinum trophies and overall 2nd on the leaderboards (psnprofiles.com).
In a comment under his post, timpurnat states that he has been working on this for the last 8 years and averages 5 hours a day collecting trophies. On weekends and days off, he spends even more time (x.com).
How do you get Platinum trophies? Almost every game has trophies. These are divided into Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. For specific achievements, the first three trophies are based on the difficulty of the task. Once you have grabbed all the trophies of a game, you receive the Platinum trophy. It’s worth mentioning that not every game has a Platinum trophy (playstation.fandom.com).
The trophy system has been around since July 8, 2008, on the PS3.
There is always a bigger fish
Who is in 1st place for the most Platinum trophies? While timpurnat has already collected 15,000 Platinum trophies, there is still someone who has more. The player dav1d_123 holds the Platinum throne of Playstation games with a total of 15,550 trophies. In 2023, dav1d_123 set the Guinness World Record for the most Platinum trophies. At that time, it was only 9,224 trophies (guinnessworldrecords.com).
How does someone manage to 100% complete more than 15,000 games? Besides the major games on the Playstation, like Spiderman or God of War, there are also games that take considerably less time. In a Reddit post from the Trophies subreddit, quick and easy games for collecting Platinum trophies are even suggested.
For example, take the game “My Name is Mayo” (store.playstation.com). All you need to do for the Platinum trophy of the game is to click on a jar of mayo far too many times. There are 3 spin-offs of My Name is Mayo.
