Should I Upgrade to PS5 as a Trophy Hunter?

-

I’m thinking about upgrading from my PS4 to a PS5, but I’ve got some concerns. I love 100% completing games and snagging those platinum trophies, and I’m stressing that I’ll lose my progress on some older games. Plus, I’m worried about the games whose servers might be dead or dying. I want the PS5 mainly to continue my trophy-hunting journey. So, is it worth upgrading knowing that some games might not be playable anymore, or should I stick with my PS4 and miss out on new titles? Any advice on trophy hunting in dying games would also be appreciated!

You’ll be good to go! Almost all PS4 games can be played on PS5, so you won’t lose any of your progress that you care about. As a fellow trophy hunter, I highly recommend the upgrade; you’re not losing anything, just gaining better performance and graphics!

Upgrading is a no-brainer! Here’s the scoop:

**Pros:** You get backward compatibility, meaning almost all your PS4 games work on PS5. Performance-wise, you’ll enjoy faster load times and better visuals, making your trophy hunts easier. Plus, you’ll unlock PS5-only titles that have fresh platinums to chase!

**Cons to Consider:** Just be aware that some games have shut down servers, making their trophies impossible to nab. Also, for games like Control or Spider-Man, you may need to earn trophies again even if your save transfers over. So, check each game that you care about to see how trophy transfers work!

Overall, if you’re looking to expand your trophy hunts, upgrading is the way to go!
