How do I view my trophies on PS3?
On a PS3, go to the Game column on the XrossMediaBar (XMB) home screen and select Trophy Collection. You'll see each game you've played with your completion percentage; open one to see the individual trophies, which ones you've earned and, for most trophies, what you have to do to unlock them. Hidden trophies show their details only after you earn them.
Step by step
- Turn on the PS3 and sign in to your PlayStation Network account.
- On the XMB, scroll to the Game column.
- Select Trophy Collection.
- Choose a game to see its list, or press the Triangle button for options such as sorting or syncing.
- To update your trophies on PSN, use the sync option from that menu; the PS3 also syncs when you start a game that supports trophies.
Other ways to see your trophies
- PS4 or PS5: sign in with the same account and open your profile or the trophies screen. Synced PS3 trophies appear alongside newer ones.
- PlayStation App: your trophy list and those of friends are available on your phone.
- Compare with friends: in Trophy Collection, you can compare your progress with friends on your list.
Trophy grades
Trophies come in four grades: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. The grade reflects how significant the achievement is, not how rare it is. Most full games have one Platinum, earned by unlocking all the other trophies; smaller titles may not have one.
FAQ
Does the PS3 still track trophies?
Yes. Trophies are saved on the console and sync to PSN when you're online.
Are trophies the same as achievements?
They serve the same purpose. "Trophies" is PlayStation's term; Xbox and Steam call them achievements.
What is the hardest trophy to earn?
It depends on the game. Trophies that require perfect runs, the highest difficulty or long online grinds usually have the lowest earn rates.
Why don't my PS3 trophies show on PS5?
They appear only after the PS3 has synced with PSN. Start a game or sync manually in Trophy Collection while signed in.
