Every trophy hunter on PlayStation aims to collect as many Platinum trophies as possible. These are the ultimate prize, since they’re only unlocked once you collect every other trophy for a game.
While plenty of Platinum trophies represent impressive feats of skill and dedication, there are also lots of easy Platinums that require little effort. Here are some of the easiest PlayStation Platinum trophies you can earn.
Notes on Easy Platinum Trophies
In this list, we focus on Platinum trophies for PS4 games that take the least amount of time to earn. Since these usually come from low-quality games, consider checking out the best PS4 exclusives for a palette cleanser afterward.
For each game, we’ll link to a trophy guide (from PlayStation Trophies and other resources) containing clear instructions to help you earn them all in the least amount of time. We include the percentage of players who have the Platinum (taken from PSNProfiles) and the estimated time to earn all trophies (from the trophy guide) to give a measure of how easy these are.
As a bonus, if you have a PS Vita, many of these games are available on both platforms and the trophies are listed separately. This means you can get two Platinums from one game; cross-buy titles even include both versions with one purchase.
Finally, in case you’re not familiar, read through our overview of PlayStation trophies to get acquainted.
1-3. My Name Is Mayo | 2 | 3
This is a joke of a game that has you clicking on a jar of mayo over and over. As you go, you’ll unlock different outfits to dress up the mayo in, but there’s nothing more to the gameplay. While most idle clicker games have goodies to tempt you into playing more and seeing what comes next, My Name Is Mayo gets old quickly.
Thankfully, it’s one of the simplest Platinum trophies around. To earn all the trophies, you’ll have to click on the mayo 10,000 times; consider using an old controller so as not to wear out your X button prematurely. Aside from clicking, you need to put on the various outfits to earn the Platinum, which only takes a moment.
96% of people who own this game have the Platinum, and it will take you about an hour to earn.
My Name Is Mayo has two sequels with Platinums that are just as easy. Give them a try if you like, but space them out so you don’t strain your hand.

4-5. FoxyLand | FoxyLand 2
Continuing the trend of one series having multiple easy Platinums, next up is a mediocre platformer that’s a port of a mobile game. There’s nothing special about it, other than its super easy Platinum trophy.
While most games require mastery to earn the top trophy, you don’t even have to beat all the levels in FoxyLand to grab the Platinum. You’ll earn all trophies through normal gameplay; you only need to complete 20 levels and buy an item from the shop to claim the Platinum.
FoxyLand 2 is almost as simple, with a few hidden level trophies thrown in to (barely) mix it up. You can earn each Platinum in roughly 30 minutes, making them a breeze. 96% and 90% of players have earned the Platinum for FoxyLand and its sequel, respectively.

6. Storm Boy
Storm Boy is based on a children’s book with the same title, and has you controlling a boy who runs around on a beach to play a few minigames. Earning the Platinum requires you to play each of the minigames twice and complete simple goals in them.
It’s so easy that for a trophy that requires you to replay the games a second time, you can immediately quit back to the menu instead of completing each game. On the plus side, it’s charming and not as clearly designed for a cheesy Platinum as many other titles on this list.
98% of Storm Boy’s players have its Platinum, and it should take you 30 minutes at most to earn it.

7. Road Bustle
Road Bustle will remind you of Frogger, as it tasks you with navigating through traffic without getting hit. It’s an incredibly simple game where you walk forward to earn points. Since every trophy is tied to your score, there’s nothing else to consider when going for this one.
Expect to spend about 10 minutes grabbing Road Bustle’s Platinum trophy, and you’ll join the 99% of players who have claimed this prize.

8. Legends of Talia: Arcadia
This is a simple visual novel game; there’s nothing required from you except to press X and advance the story. If you don’t care to read the story, you can get through the whole experience (and thus earn the Platinum) in 10-15 minutes.
However, by changing a few options in the menu, you can skip the entire thing while still receiving all the trophies. This makes it a record-breaking easy Platinum, as it takes about a minute to complete.
It’s no wonder that 99% of people who have this game have gotten the Platinum for it.

9. Snake Boat: Otterrific Arcade
Continuing on with our trend of low-effort shovelware, this embarrassing title has a Platinum that trophy guides condense into a single step. The “gameplay” consists of moving a boat around to dodge arrows, which you only need to do for a few minutes to get all of its trophies.
It’s a cheap game with a 98% Platinum rate, so you know that nobody is playing this one for anything other than the trophy.

10. Chickens On The Road
Our last easy PlayStation Platinum trophy comes from the same developer behind Road Bustle. It has a similar graphic style, though this time instead of dodging traffic, you control a truck and try to run over as many chickens as possible.
Like Road Bustle, you’ll spend about 10 minutes earning this easy Platinum. It’s score-based, and with generous checkpoints, you shouldn’t have any trouble. You’ll join the 99% Platinum club once the task is done.

Easy Platinum Trophies for Your Collection
If you take pride in your trophy count, you likely won’t want to pollute your shelf with these pathetically easy games. But there is something fun about adding a Platinum to your account in less time than it takes to eat lunch. Your friends will be impressed with how many Platinums you’ve earned; just don’t let them look too closely at what games they came from.
