PlatHub Points Leaderboard
Every platinum weighted by how rare it is, plus what your badges add
About this leaderboard
This is not a members list and there is nothing to sign up for: PlatHub has no accounts. Every figure on it — the online ID, the avatar and the trophy counts behind it — is data a public PlayStation profile already shares with anyone who looks at it.
Platinum Count is the straight count: every platinum counts once, however easy it was. It lists every profile that has been looked up on the site, so a row means only that somebody entered that PSN ID into one of the tools here. Switch to PlatHub Points to weigh each platinum by how few players have earned it.
Nothing here refreshes on its own. A row is written when somebody looks that PSN ID up on the site and updated the next time somebody does, so the board is a picture of what people have checked rather than a live feed. If your own count is behind, using any tool on the site with your PSN ID brings it up to date. Build a mosaic or tier list to refresh points too. Search also refreshes rankings using the same caches as the mosaic.
PlatHub Points weigh each platinum by how few players have earned it, so a small shelf of brutal platinums can out-rank a very large shelf of easy (shovelware👀) ones. Unlike Platinum Count, this ranking does not list everyone who has been looked up — only hunters every one of whose platinums has been read, one game at a time. Search does this for both new and existing profiles, as does building a mosaic or a tier list does. Switch to Platinum Count for the straight count of everybody.
Badges add to this ranking as well as platinums — verifying a PSN ID, a run of platinums from one series, a lap of the Alphabet Challenge, and backing the site on Patreon all add PlatHub Points. If you would rather rank on platinums alone, Pure Points is the same scoring with every badge taken back out.
Pure Points is this scoring with badges removed: nothing granted, earned on the site or backed on Patreon counts, so the only way to move up is to earn platinums. It exists because the main PlatHub Points board does count badges, and a ranking that money can nudge should not be the only one on offer. Seasonal boards work like this one.
Every platinum is worth PlatHub Points based on how many PlayStation players own it. The rarest are scored to the decimal, so a 0.1% platinum counts for far more than a 0.2% one. Common platinums are grouped together, because the difference between 60% and 70% is not worth arguing about.

Joining the PlatHub Points Leaderboard
Type PSN ID into the box at the top of this page and press Search.
Search takes a moment, because it looks at your platinums one at a time.
Being on the board does not require verification, but the Verified PSN IDs only filter above hides you from it until you are. To verify, put yesplathub in your PSN About me, then search your PSN ID here. That reads your profile, sees the keyword and verifies you for good — you can take it back out of your bio afterwards. Verifying also earns a badge worth its own PlatHub Points.
Taking your profile off the board
Put noplathub anywhere in your PSN About me, then look up your PSN ID in the mosaic tool. Your row is removed on the spot and will not come back, even if somebody else looks your PSN ID up later. To rejoin, change that to yesplathub and press Search again.
The bio is used because it is the only part of a PlayStation profile that its owner alone can write to. There are no accounts here, so anybody can type anybody's PSN ID into this page — reading the instruction from your own profile is what makes it your decision and nobody else's. If you cannot edit your bio for some reason, contact@psnplathub.com still works.
Questions
How often are the numbers updated?
Only when somebody visits. Nothing is refreshed automatically in the background — a row is updated when that PSN ID is looked up on the site, so parts of the board can sit behind until someone checks them. Build a mosaic or tier list to refresh your score; Search also refreshes your ranking using the same caches as the mosaic.
Why is my platinum count different from what I see elsewhere?
The count is whatever PlayStation Network reported the last time that PSN ID was looked up on the site, which may have been a while ago. If you have earned platinums since, build a mosaic or tier list to refresh your score.
How is this ranking ordered?
By platinum trophy count, highest first, and nothing else. Hunters on the same number of platinums share a rank and are listed alphabetically between themselves.
How does a PSN ID get onto this leaderboard?
By being looked up on PlatHub. Whenever anyone enters a PSN ID into any tool on the site — the mosaic, the backlog, the statistics page — that profile joins the Platinum Count ranking. There is nothing to sign up for. The PlatHub Points ranking is separate and needs that profile’s platinums read one by one, which the mosaic and tier list do. Search also reads them using the same caches as the mosaic.
Is this a list of members?
No. PlatHub has no accounts, so nobody can join or claim a row. The board is simply a list of the PlayStation profiles that have been checked on the site, built from the same public trophy data anyone can see on a public PSN profile.
How do I get on the leaderboard?
Enter your PSN ID and press Search. Search reads your profile and platinums using the same caches as the mosaic, updates your score, then shows your ranking. Cached data is reused until it expires.
What happens when I search for a PSN ID?
The board jumps to that hunter and shows the five ranked above them and the five below, so you can see who they are chasing and who is chasing them. Search refreshes both new and existing profiles using the same caches as the mosaic, then shows the resulting ranking. Private or opted-out profiles cannot be added.
How do I take my profile off the leaderboard?
Put noplathub anywhere in your PSN About me, then look up your PSN ID in the mosaic tool. Your row is removed straight away, from both rankings, and will not come back even if somebody else looks your PSN ID up later. This always works immediately — it is never held up by the wait that applies to ordinary checks. Nothing needs to be emailed to anyone, and you can take the keyword out of your bio afterwards, because the choice is remembered.
How do I rejoin after opting out?
Change your PSN About me to contain yesplathub instead, then press Search here. That removes the opt-out and puts you back on the board straight away.
Why does it use my PSN bio?
Because it proves the request is really yours. There are no accounts here, so anybody can type anybody's PSN ID into this page — but only the owner of a PlayStation profile can edit its About me. Reading the instruction from there means nobody can remove another hunter from the board, or put somebody back on it who did not ask to be.
What are PlatHub Points?
A total that weighs each platinum by how few PlayStation players have earned it, so difficulty counts for something rather than every platinum counting as one. The rarest platinums are scored to the decimal — a 0.1% platinum is worth far more than a 0.2% one — while common ones are grouped, down to 3 PlatHub Points for a platinum most players already have. The full table is shown above.
Why am I missing from the PlatHub Points board?
Because your platinums have not been read one by one yet. Type your PSN ID into the box at the top of the leaderboard and press Search, or build a mosaic or tier list — any of those reads every platinum you own, which is what PlatHub Points need.
Will my PlatHub Points change over time?
Yes, in two ways. Earning new platinums raises your total the next time you are checked or build a mosaic. Rarity itself also moves — a platinum gets more common as more people earn it — and each of your platinums is re-read from PlayStation about every two weeks, so a game that was worth more when you were first scored can settle down to less. A score is a picture of your collection, not a fixed total.
Do badges count toward my PlatHub Points?
On this board, yes. Verifying your PSN ID, earning a run of platinums from one series, finishing the Alphabet Challenge and backing PlatHub on Patreon all add PlatHub Points on top of what your platinums are worth. What each badge adds is listed on the PlatHub Points page. If you would rather be ranked on platinums alone, the Pure Points board is the same scoring with every badge taken back out.
Does backing PlatHub buy me a better rank?
On this board it helps, and that is deliberate — the Savior badge adds PlatHub Points for every month of support. It is capped by being a badge like any other, and two boards are unaffected by it: Pure Points ranks on platinums alone, 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.
How is this ranking ordered?
By PlatHub Points, highest first. Hunters on the same total share a rank and are listed alphabetically between themselves.
How does a PSN ID get onto this leaderboard?
By being looked up on PlatHub. Whenever anyone enters a PSN ID into any tool on the site — the mosaic, the backlog, the statistics page — that profile joins the Platinum Count ranking. There is nothing to sign up for. The PlatHub Points ranking is separate and needs that profile’s platinums read one by one, which the mosaic and tier list do. Search also reads them using the same caches as the mosaic.

No. PlatHub has no accounts, so nobody can join or claim a row. The board is simply a list of the PlayStation profiles that have been checked on the site, built from the same public trophy data anyone can see on a public PSN profile.

Why does it use my PSN bio?
Because it proves the request is really yours. There are no accounts here, so anybody can type anybody's PSN ID into this page — but only the owner of a PlayStation profile can edit its About me. Reading the instruction from there means nobody can remove another hunter from the board, or put somebody back on it who did not ask to be.
What are Pure Points?
The same scoring as PlatHub Points — every platinum weighed by how few PlayStation players have earned it — with badges taken back out. Nothing granted, earned on the site or backed on Patreon counts here, so the only way to move up is to earn platinums.
Why are there two points boards?
Because badges are worth having and a ranking money cannot nudge is worth having too. The PlatHub Points board records everything a hunter has done here, badges included. This one is the collection and nothing else, for anybody who does not care about badges. Both use exactly the same rarity scoring.
Why is my total lower here than on the PlatHub Points board?
The difference is what your badges add. If the two are the same, you hold no badges that add points — which is the ordinary case.
Why am I missing from this board?
Because your platinums have not been read one by one yet. Type your PSN ID into the box at the top of the leaderboard and press Search, or build a mosaic or tier list — any of those reads every platinum you own, which is what both points boards need.
How is this ranking ordered?
