Summary

Does Resistance: Retribution Have a Platinum Trophy?
Though Bend Studio verified via its official Twitter account thatResistance: Retributionincludes trophies on PS4 and PS5 when played via the PS Plus Premium Classics Catalog, its announcement didn’t specify if the game would include the coveted Platinum Trophy. A quick check of theResistance: Retributionpage on PSNProfilesreveals that the game adds 28 trophies, including 1 Platinum, 7 Gold, 8 Silver, and 12 Bronze trophies. The presence of a Platinum trophy should make the game much more attractive to trophy hunters, who often evaluate games specifically based onwhether their Platinum trophies are easy to acquire.
The trophies offered byResistance: Retributionare mostly attached to campaign progress and are earned as players clear stages in the story. The exceptions are a set of four Gold trophies related to combat activity, such as killing a certain number of enemies, using different weapons, and even dying in combat for the first time. As with others games' Platinum trophies, theResistance: RetributionPlatinum is awarded for unlocking every other trophy. All in all, the association of trophies with simple progress in the game should makeResistance: Retributionone of theeasier Platinum trophies to get on PS4 and PS5.
It’s encouraging to see more games being added to the PS Plus Premium offering for players on PS4 and PS5 to enjoy. Sony’s subscription service is directly competing with other subscription libraries like Xbox Game Pass, so enhancing classic entries with trophies and other modern incentives can help players see more value in their subscription and lessen the stingwhen PS Plus sometimes loses games.
