Several beloved console classics arriving on PS5 this year are earning praise for visuals and performance — but not for their trophy design. While trophies don't make or break a game's quality, many players expected more imaginative or substantial goals from 2026 releases.

  • Players report that some remasters and ports include minimal, vague, or overly simple trophies that fail to add meaningful challenge or reward.
  • Completion hunters say the lackluster lists stand in contrast to modern PS5 releases where inventive trophies enhance replayability and community discussion.
  • Developers can patch trophy sets post-launch, but fans want thoughtful integration from the start rather than retrofitted achievements.
  • There’s broad agreement that trophies are optional flourishes — yet they remain an important part of the PlayStation ecosystem and player engagement.
