New levels, different calculation structure, new level icons.

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that after the North American makeover on October 7, Europe and Japan is next today, and SIE’s product management director Aoki Toshimasa explained the new details on the PlayStation Blog: „The first thing you’ll notice is the big change to your Trophy level. We’re increasing the Trophy level range from the current “1 to 100” to “1 to 999,” so following this update, your Trophy level will automatically be remapped to a new level within this new range based on the Trophies you’ve earned to date. For example, if your current Trophy level is 12, your new level will jump to somewhere in the low 200s. The exact level will depend on the number and grades of trophies you’ve acquired. There will be no changes to the Trophies already earned or Trophy information, such as unlock requirements.

We’ve implemented a new Trophies level calculation system that is more optimized and rewarding. Players will progress quicker through the early levels, and levels will increase more consistently. Platinum trophies will count more toward your level progression, making them even more valuable. With an expanded level range, we’re also updating the trophy level icon on PlayStation 5, as well as PlayStation App at a later date. Currently, the Trophies icon is just a single gold star, but we’re adding a few variants: Bronze: Levels 1 to 299, Silver: Levels 300 to 599, Gold: Levels 600 to 998, Platinum: Level 999. The icons will also have a subtle distinction to visually suggest how close you are to the next level,” Toshimasa wrote. Let’s see these new icons below.

„Lastly, just for clarity, Trophies that you’ve earned on previous PlayStation systems will come with you to PlayStation 5, just as they have in previous generation transitions. The new Trophy levels will be reflected in all locations that Trophy levels are shown, including past systems, PlayStation App and My PlayStation,” he added.

Now for the fun part – the French PlayStation Blog also included a portion about tracking our progress on PlayStation 5! „On PlayStation 5, you’ll be able to track your progress towards earning individual trophies for compatible PlayStation 5 games. For example, sometimes you’ll see how many artefacts you have left to collect, or how many armour upgrades you need to get before unlocking the Trophy,” it wrote. It has been wiped since.

Wouldn’t it be a better idea to allow players to track their playing time in each game…?
