Easiest platinum trophies and how to spot them

If you want to run up your platinum count, some games hand you the plat in under an hour while others take a hundred. This guide gives you both: the games trophy hunters actually recommend right now, and a repeatable method for finding easy plats yourself, since the list changes constantly, especially on PS Plus.

The ones the community keeps recommending

Skim the recurring easy-platinum threads on r/PS5, r/Trophies, and r/playstation and the same names come up over and over:

• Astro's Playroom. The one everyone names first. It is free and pre-installed on every PS5, and the platinum takes roughly four to five hours of genuinely fun platforming.
• Marvel's Spider-Man (Remastered, Miles Morales, and Spider-Man 2). Straightforward open-world checklists, no hard difficulty required, and popular enough that guides are everywhere.
• Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. Around ten to twelve hours, no skill wall, just explore and use every weapon.
• Cat Quest 1, 2, and 3. Short, charming action-RPGs with light completion requirements.
• Stray and Unpacking. Relaxed, low-stress games where most trophies unlock just by playing through.

Note how many of these rotate through the PS Plus catalog, which is why r/PlayStationPlus threads fill up every time a new wave lands.

What makes a platinum easy

Beyond any single list, the fast plats almost always share these traits:

• Short and linear. A one to three hour game where finishing it unlocks the platinum.
• No missable or online trophies. Nothing tied to servers that could close, and nothing you can permanently lock yourself out of.
• A single playthrough. The whole list falls in one run, not across multiple difficulties or a long grind.
• Cheap or included. Many of the easiest ones are on PS Plus, so they cost nothing extra to try.

How to find them yourself

The single best tip, repeated constantly by trophy hunters: go to PSNProfiles and sort games by platinum popularity, or by rarity. The most-earned platinums are almost always the easiest ones. Beyond that:

• Sort by average completion time. Trophy sites list the typical time to platinum. Filter for the one to two hour titles.
• Watch the PS Plus monthly and catalog adds. Every wave brings a few quick plats, and the month they arrive is the cheapest time to grab them.
• Look for a story-only list. If every trophy comes from finishing the game, that is the tell for a painless platinum.
• Skip anything multiplayer-heavy. Online trophies are where easy lists turn into long grinds or dead ends when servers shut down.

A word on trophy level

Chasing platinum count and building your trophy level pull in the same direction, since a platinum is worth 300 points toward your level while a bronze is only 15. Stacking quick plats is one of the fastest ways to climb. Just know the community can spot an easy-plat profile a mile off, so mix in games you actually want to play.

Keep it fun

Farming platinums is a great hobby right up until it becomes a chore. Blend the quick wins with games you genuinely enjoy and the count climbs without the burnout. Your trophies are a record of games you finished, so it is worth keeping it that way.
