Trophy hunters, take note! The highly anticipated Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered, a free PS Plus Essential game for April 2026, has a catch. Due to Sony's quirky policy, this game doesn't offer Platinum trophies on the PS5. This means trophy hunters will need to play the PS4 version to earn the coveted Platinum trophies for each individual game in the bundle.

Why it matters

Sony's rule of not allowing multiple games bundled under one SKU to have separate Platinum trophies has been a point of contention for trophy hunters. This issue with Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered highlights the challenges trophy hunters face and the complexities they must navigate to complete their collections.

The details

On the PS4, each of the three Tomb Raider games in the bundle has its own Platinum trophy, totaling three. But on the PS5, all three games are under one SKU, so there's no single Platinum trophy available. To earn the Platinum trophies, trophy hunters will need to play the PS4 version of the game. The PS4 version of Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered runs smoothly, so trophy hunters won't miss out on any major features or experiences by playing the last-gen version.
