After Sony had already announced changes to the trophy system, it seems they accidentally revealed another trophy feature for the PlayStation 5 that many trophy hunters will likely appreciate. This is what Trophy Tracking is all about.
What’s the leak about? Just yesterday, Sony showed the interior of the PS5 and announced a revision of the existing trophy system for the PS4 and PS5. However, there were even more exciting news for trophy hunters yesterday. Sony seemingly inadvertently revealed another trophy feature for the PlayStation 5 – the so-called Trophy Progress Tracking.
On the official French PS Blog, this new feature was initially briefly introduced along with the upcoming revision but was quickly deleted. Apparently, this info went online too early. It is speculated that it was supposed to be presented together with the user interface reveal. Meanwhile, some PlayStation players also received emails from Sony where this feature was presented as well.
This is behind the Trophy Tracker on the PS5: The new “Quality of Life” feature was only briefly outlined, but it is what many trophy hunters have long desired – at least on PlayStation. On Xbox, there is already a similar tracker.
For example, the trophy tracker shows you how many artifacts you still need to collect or how many armor upgrades you still need to unlock (and have already unlocked) to obtain corresponding trophies in a game.
In short: With the tracker, you can better understand the requirements for specific achievements and your progress there. You can see exactly what and how much you still need to do for a particular trophy.
Will all PS5 games receive this feature? According to the leaked description, it does not seem so. It mentions “supported games on the PS5 console.” It looks more like an optional feature that is possible on the PS5, but apparently depends on whether developers ultimately implement it in their game.
Which games will support this in detail and whether the feature will be available at launch with the first PS5 games is not yet known. Perhaps there will be a “proper” official announcement that sheds more light on this.
What has already been confirmed recently is: The PS5 does without important audio feature at launch for televisions
