No. You can use most of the tools without creating a free account or signing in. Ratings & Reviews, PlatHub Points, badges, the seasons, Platdle and What to Plat Next are for signed-in users. A PlatHub account also has its own benefits.

Yes, every tool on the site is free to use, and most of them need no account. A PlatHub account is free too. Donations are welcome and give cool cosmetics.

With a PlatHub account you can find out your PlatHub Points, join the seasonal and some user-only leaderboards, rate and review your platinums for Platinum Ratings & Reviews, get platinum suggestions from What to Plat Next, and save settings. You can also earn PlatHub badges. PlatHub Points, badges and the seasons are only shown to signed-in users. An account isn't mandatory to enjoy PlatHub, but it is highly recommended.

Press Sign in at the top of any page, then "No account yet? Create one", and enter your PSN ID. PlatHub gives you a short code: put it anywhere in your PSN About me (in the PlayStation App, tap your avatar → Edit Profile → About me; on PS5, Profile → Edit Profile → About me), press Check, and choose a password. That proves the PSN ID is yours without PlatHub ever asking for your PlayStation password or an email address, and you can remove the code as soon as you are signed in. Forgot your password? The same steps with a new code set a new one.

Sign in, then press the account icon (the person) at the top of any page and choose Settings. On the account page, enter your password under Delete account. That removes the account, its signed-in devices, its activity and its platinum ratings, reviews and votes for good, along with everything PlatHub holds for your PSN ID: your leaderboard entry, badges, points and profile page. If you create an account again, your badges and points start over.

Users rate how fun each of their platinums was to earn, from 1 to 10, on their own Platinum List. Only platinums you have earned can be rated. From the same menu you can write a review of any plat you have earned, rated or not, and share tips or links to guides in it. A review cannot be edited once published, only deleted, and clearing a rating leaves it. The Ratings & Reviews tab shows each plat's average and opens each plat's reviews. Ratings and reviews are for users: any signed-in user can see your ratings on your Platinum List, your latest ratings and reviews on your PlatHub profile if you show that card, and your reviews, signed with your PSN ID and shown with your rating. Turn on "Hide my ratings and reviews" on your account page to keep them all to yourself; your ratings still count, unnamed, toward each plat's average.

Users can like or dislike each other's reviews, but not their own. Each review shows its score, likes minus dislikes, which can go below zero; who voted is never shown. Reviews are listed newest first.

To look someone up, no. Enter any public PSN ID and you can browse their platinums and use the tools, without a PSN account of your own.

Make sure your trophies are fully synced to PSN from your console. Also confirm your PSN privacy settings allow trophy visibility so PlatHub can access your public data. If you see an error mentioning a private profile, check your PlayStation privacy settings and make sure trophies are set to public. And make sure you are synced in PlatHub too.

Sync your trophies from your console to make sure your latest achievements are visible on PSN. You can follow the official guide here: How to sync your trophies on PlayStation.

Your trophies are read from PSN the first time a PSN ID is looked up, and that reading is kept and reused by every tool on the site. Which is what makes it quick when you come back or move between tools. It is not refreshed on its own.

To read your trophies from PSN again, open your profile page and press Sync. A profile can be synced every six hours, every two hours if it belongs to a PlatHub user, every hour for a Patreon backer at Savior, or every half hour at Legend. The profile page shows when it was last synced and when it can be synced next.

It's the percentage of PSN players who have earned that game's platinum trophy, fetched directly from PSN. You can display this on each tile in the mosaic and on the Platinum Card, and use it to filter the collection by rarity threshold.

Shovelware is a game that exists mostly to hand out a platinum: cheap, quick and easy enough that almost everyone who starts it walks away with the trophy.

PlatHub does not judge games by their quality or price. It goes by the platinum rarity percentage from PSN: if more than 80% of the players who started a game earned its platinum, the game is treated as shovelware. The bar is deliberately loose, so plenty of well-liked games in the sixties and seventies are not caught. A platinum with no rarity on record is never treated as shovelware. Because PSN keeps updating rarity as more people play, a platinum close to the line can move across it over time.

For you, a shovelware platinum still counts as a platinum almost everywhere. It stays in your platinum count, your mosaic, your PlatHub Points and every other tool. It is set aside only where a collection is meant to reward reaching for something you would not otherwise play: the Alphabet and Perfect Year challenges, and the badges for earning a number of platinums, including the ones for each console. Platdle also never picks a shovelware game as the answer. If a platinum is set aside on a challenge, it is listed at the bottom of that board, and the challenge question below explains why.

Time Played comes directly from the playtime recorded by Sony for your PlayStation account. It is the same data shown on PlayStation's recently played page. It is your current total for the game, including any time played after earning the platinum; Sony does not provide the amount of playtime at the exact moment the platinum was earned.

Playtime is generally available for PS4 and PS5 games. It may be missing for older games, especially PS3 and Vita titles, because Sony does not provide playtime data for them. It can also be unavailable when a game has no recorded duration, its playtime cannot be matched reliably to the trophy list, or the player's gaming-history privacy settings prevent access. Where it is available, PlatHub can show it on Platinum Cards and mosaics, sort mosaics by it, filter mosaics by hour range, and use it in conditional tile rules.

Public trophy data, and only to run the site. When a PSN ID is looked up, the server keeps a copy of its public trophy data — the games with their trophy progress, platinum dates, playtime where PlayStation shares it, and the profile summary — so pages load quickly without asking Sony again. The copy is replaced when the profile is synced. It is used only to run PlatHub: never sold or shared, and never used for advertising or to track anyone.

Mosaic and Plat Card settings are saved to your PlatHub account if you have one, so they follow you to any browser; without an account they are not saved at all. PlatHub never asks for your PlayStation password. Most tools work without a PlatHub account; to protect users' privacy, some are open to users only. An account is free, and the privacy policy lists exactly what one holds.

The PlatHub Leaderboard also lists any PSN ID looked up on the site with a summary of its public profile — online ID, avatar, trophy level, trophy counts and the region of the PlayStation account. You can remove yourself at any time (see How do I remove myself from PlatHub?).

Every trophy shown here — the date, the rarity, whether it was even earned at all — comes straight from Sony. PlatHub has no way to tell a legitimate platinum from a modded one; it reads whatever PSN reports and shows it as given.

If Sony is unable or unwilling to do anything about hackers on their own platform, I'm not sure it's my place to try to police it here. A trophy list is only as honest as the source it comes from, and that source is PSN.

If you see a 429 (too many requests), wait a short while and try again. Temporary PSN hiccups can also cause errors; a quick retry usually fixes it. For large collections the fetching may take a few seconds(even minutes) — this is normal.

My Patreon, backs more than PlatHub: it backs me directly, so I can keep building PlatHub and keep trying to make other cool stuff too. Backers' ideas for PlatHub are prioritized, and it comes with perks on PlatHub. There are two tiers, and Legend includes everything Savior has.

Savior ($4.50 a month):

• Gold PSN ID on the leaderboards and on your profile.
• A "Savior ×N" tag beside your PSN ID, counting your months of support.
• The Savior badge, which adds 121 PlatHub Points for every month.
• Remove the watermark from anything you download of your own profile, or keep it if you like.
• High quality downloads of your own mosaics and Platinum Cards: 4×, for sharper icons.
• Colorful profile: give any card in your PlatHub profile a background color.
• Your own avatar: upload a picture to show in place of your PSN avatar everywhere on PlatHub.
• More on your profile: show up to 5 of your latest ratings and reviews instead of 3.
• Platdle streak saves: one a month, to count a day you missed for your streak.
• Sync every hour, instead of every two hours for users and every six for everyone else.
• Longer reviews: up to 4,000 characters instead of 2,000.
• A longer "not going to plat" list on What to Plat Next: up to 20 games instead of 10.
• Colorful Plat Persona: pick a color for your My Plat Persona picture, on your download and on your profile.

Legend ($12.50 a month), everything Savior has, plus:

• The Legend animated PSN ID: a color and animation in place of the Savior gold.
• A tag of your own, a word you choose, counting your months of Legend support.
• Your own badge, made from an image you send, which adds 231 PlatHub Points for every month.
• Even higher quality downloads: 6× instead of 4× when you choose High.
• One more Platdle streak save a month, on top of the Savior one.
• Sync every half hour instead of every hour.
• Even longer reviews: up to 8,000 characters instead of 4,000.
• An even longer "not going to plat" list: up to 40 games instead of 20.

A Legend's tag and badge image need to be reasonable, safe for work and legal. Perks are added by hand to the PSN ID you back with, so let me know which one is yours when you join.

If you stop backing, you keep your badges and tags and the months on them, along with the PlatHub Points they add; they just stop counting new months. The other perks end. Come back and your count carries on from the next month, so 10 months, a break, then month 11. Move from Legend down to Savior and you keep your Legend badge and tag with its months, while your Savior badge keeps counting.

If, before September 2026, you shared PlatHub anywhere (Reddit, Discord, X/Twitter, YouTube, a forum, or elsewhere), suggested a feature, or reported a bug, and can prove it, reach out to me on Reddit or Instagram or email contact@psnplathub.com. Early supporters receive a special badge on their profile and an Early tag beside their PSN ID as a thank you.

Once your result has finished loading, use the Download button near the top-right corner to save it as an image. Downloads are available for Platinum and 100% Completion mosaics, individual Platinum Cards, yearly recaps, Alphabet Challenge boards, game-series trackers, and Game of the Year boards. Make your customizations or choose the year or series first—the export captures the version currently shown.

The export matches what is on screen, scaled up for a sharper picture. For mosaics, pick how much under Download quality at the bottom of the mosaic settings:

• Small: 1.5× as a JPEG. A few MB, easy to post anywhere.
• Standard: 1.5× as a PNG. Sharper edges, but game art barely shrinks as PNG, so a couple of hundred platinums can be well over 10MB.
• High: 4× as a PNG, or 6× for Legend, for Patreon backers on their own mosaics. PS5 icons have the most detail to show at this size; older icons just come out bigger.

The Platinum Card has its own choice in its settings: Standard at 2×, or High at 4× (6× for Legend) for Patreon backers on their own card. A single card is small enough that it nearly always gets the full scale.

Browsers can only draw an image so big: 16,384 pixels on a side and about 268 million pixels in all on a computer, and far less on phones and tablets. Past that the download would fail or crash the tab, so a mosaic that would go over is scaled down to fit instead. It is never cropped: you always get the whole board, just at a lower scale. Examples with the default 168px icons:

• 200 platinums: every quality comes out at its full scale.
• 800 platinums: High comes out at about 3.2×. Small and Standard stay at 1.5×.
• 2,500 platinums: High comes out at about 1.9×. Small and Standard stay at 1.5×.
• 4,000 platinums or more: every quality is scaled down to the same size, about 1.3× at 5,000.

Bigger icons reach these limits sooner and smaller ones later. On a phone, High is scaled down on nearly every board, and Standard from around 230 platinums. Bigger collections take longer to render, so give the download a few seconds.

Phones and tablets limit how large an image the browser can draw, so a very large mosaic may not download there, or may come out smaller than it would on a computer. If that happens, open the same page on a desktop or laptop and download it from there.

There is a lot you can customize, and the best way to discover everything is to open the settings and play around with it yourself. Changes appear instantly, so experiment until the mosaic looks exactly how you want it.

Only with a PlatHub account. Signed in, all your mosaic and Plat Card settings — colors, layout, sort order, tile overrides, filters, and more — are saved to your account as you change them, and come back in any browser you sign in on. Without an account they last while the tab stays open; a new tab or browser starts from the defaults. Tier lists are the exception: they are kept in your own browser, and follow you to other browsers only with an account.

Open the Sorting section in the sidebar. Choose from date earned, game name, rarity, time played, or Custom Order. With Custom Order selected, you can drag any tile to a new position — your arrangement is saved and restored on reload. Games without PlayStation playtime stay at the end when sorting by Time Played.

Yes. Turn on Hide Specific Games in the Filter Platinums sidebar section, then click the button over any tile to hide it from the mosaic. The hidden count is shown in the same section, with an Unhide All button to restore all hidden tiles at once. Turn the switch back off when you are done — that clears the hide buttons off the board and hands dragging back to Custom Order.

The Filter Platinums section in the sidebar lets you narrow down the mosaic by:

• Year & Month — show only platinums earned in a specific time period.
• Platform — show only PS3, PS4, PS5, or Vita games.
• Rarity — filter by a custom percentage threshold using a ≤ or ≥ operator.
• Time Played — filter by minimum and maximum hours played when PlayStation has that data.
• Remove Duplicates — hide repeated games (e.g. cross-platform releases) so each title appears only once.

The profile header platinum count updates automatically to reflect the active filters.

Yes — open the Edit Specific Platinums section in the sidebar (Edit Specific Games on the 100% Completion Mosaic). Check one or more tiles from the scrollable list and adjust their border color, label color, and border radius independently from the global settings. Changes apply to all checked tiles at once. Tiles with active overrides are marked with a dot (●) in the list. Use Clear Selected or Clear All Overrides to reset them.

Yes — the Edit Specific Platinums section (Edit Specific Games on the 100% Completion Mosaic) has a Conditional Rules area above the tile list. A rule reads as a condition and the colors to paint when it matches, so instead of picking tiles by hand you can say:

• Rarity % is rarer than 5 — give every one of the hardest platinums a red border and label.
• Platinum # is a multiple of 25 — mark each milestone platinum with a pink border and label.
• Time Played is more than 100 — highlight long games when PlayStation has a recorded playtime.

Each rule can apply one shared color to the border, the label, or both, and can be switched off without deleting it. Rules are evaluated top to bottom, so a later rule wins the color — and a tile you styled by hand always beats every rule. Because a rule matches on the data rather than on a fixed list of tiles, it keeps working as the collection grows: the next milestone platinum is colored the moment it appears.

Platinum # counts in the order they were earned, so #1 is the first platinum — the same number shown on the tile. On the 100% Completion Mosaic the rule counts completions instead, and the rarity condition is not offered there, since a 100% has no single trophy to take a rarity from.

Open the Profile Header section in the sidebar. You can show or hide the avatar, username, level, platinum count, and individual trophy counts (gold, silver, bronze, total). Choose from several layout modes, pick a background color, apply a gradient, and control font sizes for the username and trophy numbers independently.

Yes. Both the mosaic background and the profile header support 2-color gradients. Enable the gradient toggle in the Background or Profile Header settings, pick the two colors, and select the gradient direction.

Enable the Remove Duplicates toggle in the Filter Platinums sidebar section. This hides repeated entries for games released on multiple platforms so each title appears only once in the mosaic.

Yes — trophy wall, platinum wall and plat wall all describe the same thing the mosaic makes: every platinum on a PSN ID laid out as one grid image. You can build it from cover art or from platinum trophy icons, then download it as a PNG.

Yes. The sidebar collapses into a sheet on small screens and the mosaic itself scrolls, though a wide mosaic with many columns is easier to fine-tune on a desktop.

The Platinum Card is a shareable card for a single platinum trophy. It shows the PSN avatar, username, the platinum icon (or game cover), earned date, and PSN rarity.

It opens on the most recently earned platinum, since that is usually the one you came to share. Every other platinum on the profile is listed in the search box above the card, so an older favourite can have a card of its own just as easily.

The card has its own full set of customization options in the sidebar (header, icon, title, platform, stats, background, size) that are saved independently from your mosaic settings.

Yes, as long as their PSN profile has trophies set to public. The card is built entirely from data PSN already shares publicly.

There is nothing to build a card from, so the page will tell you no platinum was found. Every other PlatHub tool behaves the same way, since they all work from earned platinum trophies.

A public board of the PlayStation profiles checked on the site. Platinum Count, the straight tally, and Playtime, total hours played just for fun, list everybody — a row simply means that PSN ID has been looked up on PlatHub at some point. PlatHub Points, which weighs each platinum by how few players own it and adds what your badges are worth, Pure Platinum Points, the same weighting from platinums alone, and Pure Trophy Points, the same weighting over every trophy, list PlatHub users only, since only users have points, and so do Badges Count and Badge Points. Anybody can look at Platinum Count and Playtime; the points and badge boards, like the seasonal ones, are for signed-in users to see. Everything shown is data a public PlayStation profile already shares.

Yes. Every row on the leaderboard is a link — press a PSN ID or an avatar and you land on that hunter's PlatHub profile page, which summarizes their collection, PlatHub Points, badges, milestones and rarest platinums. A PSN ID without a PlatHub account has a profile too, just without PlatHub Points or badges, which are for users. Only signed-in users see anybody's points and badges.

Nothing new is revealed by this. It is the same public PlayStation data the board already lists, and the same you would see by typing that PSN ID into any tool on the site yourself. If you would rather not appear at all, the questions further down explain how to leave.

Use any tool on the site with your PSN ID and you are added to Platinum Count automatically. To do it directly, open the leaderboard, type your PSN ID and press Search. Search syncs your profile if its wait between syncs is over, otherwise reads it using the same caches as the mosaic, and shows your ranking. The PlatHub Points, Pure Platinum Points, Pure Trophy Points, Badges Count and Badge Points boards also need a free PlatHub account: only users have points and badges.

Search adds a new profile to the board or finds an existing one, then shows its ranking with the five hunters above and below. The PSN ID must match exactly, apart from capitalisation. Search syncs the profile when its wait between syncs is over, so newly earned platinums are picked up; before then it uses what the site already holds for that PSN ID.

Nothing on the board refreshes by itself. A row is written when a PSN ID is first looked up on the site and updated each time that profile is synced, so parts of the board sit behind until somebody syncs them. To bring yours up to date, press Sync on your profile page.

To stay a user but leave the leaderboards, turn on "Hide me from leaderboards" on your account page. That takes you off every leaderboard, the seasonal ones too, and keeps your profile, badges and points. Turn it off again whenever you like.

To keep your profile to yourself, turn on "Hide my profile": anyone else who opens it is told it is private, while you still see it when signed in. "Hide my badges" does the same for your badges, which still count toward your PlatHub Points. You stay on the leaderboards unless you hide from those too.

To leave PlatHub altogether, delete your account: on the account page, enter your password under Delete account. That deletes your entry from every leaderboard on PlatHub straight away, including the seasonal ones, along with your badges, points and profile page. No account? Create one with your PSN ID first, then delete it.

Deleting does not stop your PSN ID being looked up again: if anybody does, it is listed again from scratch, like any public profile. To stay off the leaderboards, set your PlayStation profile to private, so PlatHub cannot read it.

Want to keep your PSN profile public but definitely don't want to be on PlatHub? Contact me on Instagram or Reddit.

Just create an account from scratch.

A score for PlatHub users, and a ranking of them on the leaderboard, that weighs each platinum by how few PlayStation players have earned it, instead of counting every platinum as one. A small collection of brutal platinums can out-rank a very large collection of easy (shovelware👀) ones. Badges add to this total as well — see below.

The rarest platinums are scored to the decimal, so a 0.1% platinum is worth far more than a 0.2% one. Common platinums are grouped together, down to 1 PlatHub Point for one that most players already have. Here is what every rarity is worth:

The same scoring as PlatHub Points. Every platinum weighed by how few PlayStation players have earned it but without the points from PlatHub badges.

It exists because the PlatHub Points ranking does count points from PlatHub badges. Pure Platinum Points ranks hunters solely by the rarity-weighted value of their platinums. Your position reflects only the platinums you have earned, with no extra points from badges of the site.

Because rarity is stored per game, not on the profile, so every platinum has to be read from PlayStation one at a time. A large collection takes longer than a small one.

Because twice as few people have it. Every halving of rarity roughly multiplies a platinum's worth by 1.7, so a 0.1% platinum outscores a 0.2% one by a wide margin even though they sit right next to each other on the rarity scale. That keeps the very rare end of a collection meaningfully separated instead of flattening every very rare platinum into one bracket.

Fun mini-achievements unique to PlatHub, for PlatHub users! Collect badges to celebrate your milestones and earn extra PlatHub Points. They appear on your profile for signed-in users, and hovering over one shows how to earn it and how many points it adds.

Almost never. The exception is a change of rules: PlatHub reserves the right to change its general rules or the rules of a single challenge, and a badge that no longer holds up under the new rules may be taken away, along with the PlatHub Points it was adding. The chance of this ever happening is close to zero.

Either you don't have a PlatHub account, or your platinums have not been read yet. Create a free account with your PSN ID, then sync your profile.

Yes, in two ways. Earning new platinums raises your total the next time you are synced. PSN trophy rarity itself also moves — a platinum gets more common as more people earn it — so a game that was worth more when you were first scored can settle down to less (or to more, if people play it but don't earn the platinum).

There are seven rankings. PlatHub Points uses the rarity-weighted total plus whatever your badges add. Badge Points uses what your badges add alone. Pure Platinum Points uses the same weighted total with badges removed. Pure Trophy Points uses the same weighting over every trophy you have earned. Platinum Count uses platinum trophy count and nothing else. Playtime uses total time played on PS4 and PS5. Badges Count uses how many badges are on your profile. On every one, hunters on the same figure share a rank and are listed alphabetically between themselves, so nothing else quietly places one above another.

For a PlatHub user, yes, on both points rankings: the page reads every platinum on the profile, which is exactly what they need. A PSN ID without an account gets no PlatHub Points there, only how to create an account, and a visitor who is not signed in sees only how to sign in. To leave the board, delete your PlatHub account, and set your PlayStation profile to private so it is not read again.

Only on the boards that count badges. Badges have PlatHub Points of their own, so they move the PlatHub Points, Badge Points and Badges Count boards. Other boards are unaffected by them: Pure Platinum Points and Pure Trophy Points rank on trophies alone, Platinum Count and Playtime come straight from PlayStation, and every seasonal board is scored only from the platinums earned inside its window. Nothing bought, granted or earned off PlayStation can move a seasonal standing.

The difference is what your badges add. If the two are the same, you hold no badges that add points.

PlatHub Points for every trophy you have earned, not only platinums. Each bronze, silver, gold and platinum is scored by how few PlayStation players have earned it, on exactly the table a platinum is scored on, so a 0.4% bronze is worth the same as a 0.4% platinum. Badges add nothing here. Pure Trophy Points are for PlatHub users.

Either you don't have a PlatHub account, or your profile has not been synced since you made one. Pure Trophy Points are only worked out by a sync, because they mean reading every game you have earned a trophy in, not only the ones with a platinum. Press Search on the leaderboard or Sync on your profile page; Search syncs once your profile's wait between syncs is over.

Each time your profile is synced, by Search on the leaderboard or Sync on your profile page, and at no other time: building a mosaic leaves it alone. Rarity moves as more players earn trophies, so a sync can nudge your total even when you have earned nothing new.

Because your playtime has not been read yet. It is read whenever a tool that shows playtime is used with your PSN ID, like Statistics or the Platinum List, or when you search for yourself on the Playtime board. Hunters whose gaming history is private on PlayStation are not listed.

Two rankings of PlatHub users by their badges, for signed-in users to look at. Badges Count ranks how many badges are on each user's profile; Badge Points ranks the PlatHub Points those badges add. Every badge on the profile counts: the ones your platinums earn, season placements, verifying and Patreon badges. A badge earned more than once, like a Savior's months, counts every time on both: two months of Savior are two badges on Badges Count, and add their points twice on Badge Points.

Badges are awarded when your platinums are read. Search for your PSN ID on the leaderboard, or sync your profile, and the board picks them up.

A ranking that only counts platinums earned inside one stretch of time, rather than everything on your account. The all-time boards reward a collection built over a decade, which is fair but leaves almost nobody able to move. A season starts everyone on nothing and asks a different question: who scored the most in these three months. When it ends the table is settled for good, badges are handed out, and the next season starts over from zero.

Create a free PlatHub account with your PSN ID: that verifies it, and once verified you are on every season automatically — the one running now and every one after it, even with zero platinums. Verification is remembered, so you never have to join again.

Yes, create an account any time until its last day. Joining late doesn't mean starting late: every platinum you earned since the season's first day counts, not just the ones after you created your account. Create it halfway through and you go straight onto the board with the same score you'd have had from day one. The only thing you can't do is join a season that has already ended.

Yes. Creating an account proves who you are, it is not a starting gun. Every platinum you earned inside the season's window counts, whether you created your account on the first day or the last. So joining late costs you nothing but the time your score was not on display.

Exactly the same way PlatHub Points always are — each platinum weighed by how few players have earned it — just counted over the season's window instead of your whole account. A platinum earned during the season is worth the same as it would be anywhere else on the site. Only the date decides whether it counts.

The ones PlayStation stamped inside the season's dates, read in UTC. The site uses the timestamp PSN attached to the trophy rather than your local clock, so a platinum earned late at night can fall on the next day or the previous one depending on where you are. Season windows are back to back: the last moment of one is the first moment of the next, so every platinum lands in exactly one season and none falls between them.

Your score updates when your profile is synced. Press Sync on your profile page to read new platinums from PSN: every two hours for a PlatHub user's profile, every hour for a Patreon backer at Savior, or every half hour at Legend.

PlatHub reads every verified profile one more time after the last day, counting anything earned in the closing hours and refreshing platinum rarity. That final pass settles the table. Until it finishes, the standings remain provisional and the page says so.

Rarity moves. A platinum gets more common as more people earn it, so what a game is worth is not fixed. The closing walk reads every rarity fresh after the window shuts, so the final table is scored on where things actually stood at the end rather than on numbers cached weeks earlier. Once that pass is done the table is frozen and nothing moves it again.

A badge on your profile, kept permanently. The top three each get their own, and there are badges for finishing in the top 10 and the top 100. You need at least one platinum earned during the season to get one. A season badge is never taken away — later seasons cannot cost you one, and neither can anything you do or do not earn afterwards.

A daily guessing game for PlatHub users: name the PlayStation game behind a platinum. Platdle has one game a day, and a new one starts at midnight (UTC). You get five guesses and five hints and try to find the game name.

The first hint is there from the start, and every wrong guess opens the next one. If you have no idea, Skip guess spends a guess to open the next hint, and on your last guess it becomes Give up. The next day's Platdle page says what it was. Playing takes a free PlatHub account, so your games and streak are saved to it. The full rules, hints included, are on How to Play Platdle.

The answer is always a game from the guess dropdown, but never shovelware: a game whose platinum is earned by more than 80% of players. Every answer is checked by hand before it goes in the queue.

Your streak is the number of days in a row you played Platdle to the end while signed in, solved or not. Missing a day resets it. It stays alive through today until you play, as long as you finished yesterday's game. The longest current streaks have their own leaderboard.

A Patreon backer perk. You get one save for every month you back PlatHub at the Savior tier and two for every month at the Legend tier, and unused saves add up. Saves you earned stay yours if you stop backing.

A save is only used when you choose to. Play a day you missed from Past Games, and once it's over you're asked whether to use a streak save for that day. If you do, the day counts for your streak exactly as if you had played it on the day.

Yes. Any user can play any earlier day's game from Past Games on the Platdle page. Its calendar shows the days you completed, the ones you played late, and the ones you missed. A past game doesn't count for your streak, unless you are a Patreon backer and use a streak save on it.

Yes. Turn on "Hide me from leaderboards" on your account page, which leaves you off the Platdle leaderboards along with every other board. You keep playing, and your points and streak are still counted.

The same mosaic, built from completion instead of platinums. It collects every game where you have earned every trophy in the list, including games that have no platinum to earn at all, and lays them out as a grid you can style and export.

Because 100% means every trophy in the set, DLC included. A game where you took the platinum but left DLC trophies behind is not complete, so it appears on the platinum mosaic but not this one. Rarity, the platinum trophy name and the platinum icon have no meaning without a platinum, so those settings are left out here; everything else works the same and each mosaic keeps its own saved settings.

The date of the most recent trophy you earned in that game, which for a completed game is the moment it reached 100%. Sorting and grouping by date use the same value.

Your platinums broken down by year, month, platform, day of the week and rarity, along with the rarest and most common platinums and the best year.

They are calculated in your browser from the public platinum trophy data attached to the PSN ID you enter. Nothing is stored, and no figures are kept between visits.

Rarity comes from PSN itself, which reports the percentage of players who earned each trophy and sorts them into common, rare, very rare and ultra rare bands. The Statistics page shows both the average rarity and how the platinums spread across those bands.

A platinum year in review for any year on the profile: how many were earned, the rarest and easiest, the busiest month, and the weekday games get finished on most. A dropdown switches between years instantly, and the whole recap downloads as an image.

No. The recap is generated on demand from the trophy data, so the current year can be viewed mid-way through, or any earlier year revisited at any time. The year dropdown is built from the profile's own history, going all the way back to its first platinum.

Only platinums you actually earned that year can appear — the card takes that year's platinums and ranks them by time played. What can surprise you is the hours themselves: they are each game's current lifetime total, the same figure the Time Played question above explains, not the hours you put in during that year. A game you had already sunk a hundred hours into before finally platting it brings all of them with it, and every hour played since counts too. A platinum only counts here if PlayStation reports matchable playtime for it, which follows the same rules as Time Played elsewhere on the site — generally PS4 and PS5 only, and never for a game bundled into a multi-edition launcher Sony cannot split the hours for.

Only platinums are counted, not trophies in general, so a year with plenty of trophies but few platinums reads thin. Games you have hidden on your PSN profile are left out entirely, and trophies that have not been synced from the console do not appear until they are. Dates are also read in your own timezone, so a platinum earned late on 31 December can land in the following year.

The day of the week on which you earned the most platinums during the selected year, based on the earned date PSN records for each trophy.

It averages the rarity percentage PSN reports for each platinum you earned that year. A lower percentage means fewer players own those trophies, so a lower average points at a tougher year.

Every game on the profile with a platinum not yet earned yet, ranked by how far through the trophy list you are — so the platinum you are closest to finishing sits at the top. Each game shows how many trophies are left and which grades they are. You can search it, group it by console, and reveal games you have never earned a trophy in.

The percentage is the one PlayStation reports for the whole trophy set, so it counts DLC trophies — but a platinum never requires them. A game whose DLC packs are larger than its base game can show under 50% even when every trophy the platinum needs is already earned. Games with DLC packs carry a DLC tag, and you are closer to those platinums than the number suggests.

Not always. The percentage counts trophies, not effort, so a game sitting at 95% can still have one grind or one difficult challenge standing between you and the platinum. It tells you roughly which platinums are closest, not which are easiest.

Because they are separate trophy lists with separate platinums. Finishing one does not fill in the other, so both are tracked independently.

It suggests your next game to plat. The picks are worked out from a mix of signals, and Match shows how strongly each one suits you. Turn on Only games on PS Plus to keep to games you can play with your PS Plus subscription right now.

Press Not going to plat on its card. It goes on a list only you can see, the next pick takes its place, and Undo on the list brings it back. The list holds 10 games, or 25 for a Patreon backer.

Every platinum on a PSN ID as one plain list, in whatever order you want to read it: rarest first, longest played first, oldest first, or A to Z. Only games with the platinum already earned appear — games still in progress are on the Platinum Backlog, and games without a platinum to earn never appear.

Yes, deliberately. The mosaic and the list share one sorting rule, so rarest first means the same thing on both pages. The difference is what comes out: the mosaic draws an image to download, and the list is something you scroll.

PSN rounds rarity to one decimal, so ties are common. When two platinums have the same rarity, the mosaic and the Platinum List both break the tie by the date you earned them, following the sort direction: rarest first puts the older platinum first, most common first puts the newer one first. If they were earned at the same moment too, the game name decides — A to Z for rarest first, Z to A for most common first.

The address carries the PSN ID, so the link you are looking at opens the same list for anybody. The order and the search are not stored in it, so whoever opens it starts on newest first.

Four ready-made challenges checked against a profile's platinums:

• Alphabet Challenge — earn a platinum for a game starting with every letter from A to Z, and see which letters are still open.
• Perfect Year Challenge — earn a platinum in every month of a calendar year, checked across every year on the profile.
• GOTY Challenge — progress against every Game of the Year winner since 2009, with remasters and Game of the Year editions matched to the year they won.
• Series Tracker — full platinum lists for major PlayStation franchises with a profile's progress checked against each one, counting cross-generation releases separately.

Yes, on all three. The GOTY Challenge and Series Tracker match titles against a list of known alternate names and ignore edition wording, so a remaster, a complete edition or a Game of the Year edition still counts — a remaster with its own trophy list is tracked as its own separate platinum, which is why a series can list more entries than it has games.

The first letter of the game's title, after any leading "The" is set aside. Titles starting with a number or a symbol are grouped into a separate bucket and do not fill one of the 26 letters. Q, X, Y and Z tend to be the hardest, since they have the shortest lists of PlayStation games with a platinum trophy.

A platinum with a rarity over 80% — earned by more than four in five of the players who started the game — does not fill a letter or a month. Both challenges are about reaching for something you would not otherwise play, and a platinum almost nobody misses does not ask that. The bar is deliberately loose (this is a shovelware filter, not a difficulty bar) — plenty of well-liked games sit in the sixties and seventies and still count. Any platinum that was set aside is listed at the bottom of the board, so you can always see which ones they were.

It does not touch the PlatHub Points you earn from the platinum itself, your platinum count, or any other tool. The excluded platinum in challenges still counts everywhere else on the site.

This is intentional, not a bug: if a platinum hunter cleared fifty copies of a shovelware series like "Quiz This" to cover Q, none of those fifty would count toward the Alphabet Challenge, because the platinum is handed to almost anyone who starts the game. Q would still need a real platinum to be covered.

In theory, yes. Rarity is not fixed — PSN recalculates it as more people play a game, so a platinum can drift up or down over the years. A platinum sitting right on the 80% line could one day tick over it, and the letter or month it was covering would open back up. A perfect 2010 could stop being perfect without you touching your console.

In practice this should effectively never happen. The 80% bar is generous on purpose and very few platinums live near it — games either hand the platinum to nearly everyone who starts them or they do not, and the ones that do sit far above the line rather than beside it. Rarity also moves slowly once a game is a few years old and most of the people who were going to play it already have.

The platinum. Every challenge tracker only looks at games where you earned the platinum trophy, which is what makes them worth doing.

It is the number of times you have covered the full alphabet. If the thinnest letter has three platinums behind it, the alphabet is complete three times over.

Q, X, Y and Z have the shortest lists of PlayStation games with platinum trophies, so most hunters finish the other 22 letters long before those four. The missing-letters list makes it obvious which ones are left.

The month you earned the platinum trophy, read in your own timezone. A platinum earned late on 31 January counts for January, the same way it does on the Yearly Recap and in the mosaic's month filter.

Yes. This is a calendar year challenge, so a twelve-month run from June to the following May does not complete either year. Both of those years would show gaps.

Only for that month by itself. A month is either covered or it is not, and extras do not carry over to fill an empty one — which is why the challenge needs at least twelve platinums spread across the year rather than twelve platinums. Extras are not wasted, though: the challenge can be completed more than once in the same year, and a month only helps toward a second completion once every other month has caught up to it. Five platinums in every single month means the year is complete five times over, not once with leftovers.

The main industry Game of the Year prize: the Spike Video Game Awards for the earlier years, the VGX in 2013, and The Game Awards from 2014 onwards. That keeps it to exactly one winner per year.

They are marked as ineligible and removed from the total. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild won in 2017 and never came to PlayStation, so the challenge is 16 games rather than 17.

The tracker matches the trophy list by title, so a regional or edition-specific name can occasionally slip past it. Check that the trophies are synced to PSN first, and if a game is still missing, send the title along at Instagram or Reddit and it can be added to the matching list.
