Xbox Will Copy PlayStation's Platinum Trophy Later This Year
pushsquare.com • • technology
Key Points:
- Trophies on PlayStation were developed as a response to Xbox 360’s achievements system, with Sony introducing Trophies on the PS3 in 2008 starting with Super Stardust HD.
- Trophies have become very popular, with many players enjoying earning Platinums as a mark of completion and sharing achievements with friends, offering more nuanced tracking than Xbox’s single Gamerscore.
- New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has confirmed that Xbox plans to introduce a system similar to PlayStation’s Platinum Trophies later this year, though details and format remain unclear.
- The late introduction of a Platinum-like system on Xbox raises questions about its impact, especially since it may not apply retroactively to the many existing games on the platform.
- This development highlights a cycle of feature adoption between Sony and Xbox, with Sony initially copying Xbox achievements, and now Xbox adopting a PlayStation-style Platinum Trophy system.
