If you're wondering why your PlayStation 4 trophy screen has changed, or because you find yourself with a much higher level than the previous one, here you will find the answers you are looking for.
In order to make players progress between the first levels faster and increase levels more smoothly, Sony has studied a new system which, after the update, has changed the levels of all players according to a new calculation structure: now the tier brackets will no longer be 1-100, but you can get up to level 999, so now you may have found yourself at level 200 while before you were only at 12. This level is, of course, based on the amount of your trophies, and their rarity. Platinum trophies, for example, will be of great value and can level you up faster.
These are the new bands, and from the launch of PlayStation 5 the icons of the levels will also change, which will replace the golden star that you can find now. There will therefore be a bronze icon for players of level 1-299, a silver icon for those of level 300-599, gold for those of level 600-998 and for the very few who will manage to reach level 999 there will be a special icon representing platinum.
Sony also wanted to specify that the progress made with trophies on old consoles like PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita will not be lost, but will be automatically transferred to PS5., and will also be visible on PS App and My PlayStation. So while Sony is preparing for the launch of its new console, we we hope you have found the answers you were looking for in this article, if so, let us know what you think of these changes!
