A new rewards scheme means your PlayStation trophies are not just cosmetic anymore. In fact, players can now earn PSN credit through their trophy triumphs. However, each trophy is worth very little, and the scheme is a US-exclusive, at least for now.
The rewards are structured thusly:
Players need to collect 1,000 points to exchange for a $10 PSN voucher. Not a bad return for ten platinum trophies, really.
Let’s take a look at the PSN trophy leaderboard; according to Kotaku, it’s topped by Roughdaw4. Roughdaw4 earned 5,551 silver, 6,903 gold, and 1,359 platinum trophies. Converted through PlayStation Rewards, that equals $1,583 of PSN credit. However, the rewards scheme only counts trophies earned after signing up, so retrospective achievements are ineligible.
PlayStation is not the only platform to offer achievement trophies, but is the first major player to offer associated rewards; both Steam and Xbox offer superficial achievements. As such, at least one PlayStation competitor is taking note; Xbox head Phil Spencer is following the development very closely. In fact, Spencer seems impressed by the idea and promises to test it himself:
