PlayStation gives players the chance to earn trophies by playing games. The PlayStation trophies come in four grades: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. The number of trophies in each game varies and the developers design what goals those trophies will require, and grades for each trophy while developing a game.

Among all the different trophies, the platinum trophies are the most coveted ones. A player receives a platinum trophy only after they have earned all the other trophies. Earning a platinum trophy marks an important achievement for a player since it signifies that a game has been fully completed.
