Xbox Will Copy PlayStation’s Platinum Trophy Later This Year

Push Square · 3 hours ago

Xbox has confirmed it will introduce its own version of PlayStation's Platinum Trophy, a feature awarded for unlocking every achievement in a game, later this year. New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirmed the move in response to a social media question, saying her team is "working on something for later this year." It marks a notable shift for Microsoft, which has long relied solely on its cumulative Gamerscore system rather than a per-game completion badge, and comes after years of fans requesting a PlayStation-style equivalent.

No details have been given on how the system will work or whether it will apply retroactively to the tens of thousands of games already on Xbox without such a feature. Sharma's comment was brief, leaving format and scope unconfirmed for now. The development echoes the reverse situation from 2008, when Sony introduced Trophies on PS3 partly in response to the popularity of Xbox 360's Achievements system, which had launched a few years earlier.
