PlayStation rolling out another long-awaited update for gamers

It looks as if Sony is finally set to start rolling out achievement trophies on PC, allowing PC players to unlock those coveted platinums as well as console users.

There’s nothing quite like earning a platinum PlayStation trophy - a sign that you well and truly have mastered a game. The more platinums you acquire, the more you can brag about it to your friends. I’m sure many of us will be rushing to platinum Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, seeing as the game releases this coming Friday, on 20 October. In our review, we said, “This is an amazing fantasy come to life and realised like never before. Insomniac Games has crafted yet another heartfelt Spider-Man story bursting with twists, turns, and show-stopping spectacle,” but I digress. Console players will seemingly no longer be the sole platinum owners, as PC gamers are set to join in on the fun.

Take a look at Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 in action below.

As reported by TrueTrophies, Sony has begun testing support for PlayStation trophies on PC, in the hopes of fully allowing PC users access to the PlayStation Network. The TrueTrophies team located a trophy in the PSN backend that listed PC as one of its platforms, in addition to PS5.

With a bit of further digging, TrueTrophies was then able to verify that this was indeed a separate listing and nothing to do with PS5 trophies. The listing was also not linked to a specific game, suggesting that it is indeed a test being run by Sony.

It’s no great surprise seeing as Sony have been stepping up their PC output. Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition and Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart were both recently ported to PC, with excellent results. I can’t say the same about the PC port of The Last of Us Part I but hopefully lessons were learnt from that glitchy debacle. Let’s hope PSN PC integration is launched in full in the near future.
