Would love this! Only happens now when a specific game puts it in.

If they ever do want to do something like that, this kind of change would be necessary first. I presume they'd want to have lots of meaningful thresholds for giving out avatars and themes, and right now progress for a typical player will flatline at around level 13. So if they put in some kind of reward system now, for most people that'd mean getting one free theme per year from Sony.
Having more levels would give them the ability to reward people frequently enough that they actually noticed it.
Not saying that's what they'll do, of course, since Sony have only very occasionally dabbled in the idea of rewards for trophies, but this could be a step towards them doing that.
You probably finish more games than me lol
Plus you probably don't have My Name is Mayo and Goat Simulator plats like I do
Hope the new trophy change takes that into account and if one has a Hanna Montana platinum they have to start from 0 again, haha! Of course the Bloodborne Plat should have the most value.
I just checked i was wrong. Its in the games tab and shows the rarest for each game.
My bad.
I don't really understand the point. So if you go from 13 to like 200 and the other guy who is 30 jumps up to 400....what actually changed? 200 is just the new low/middle ground.
I must be missing something.

Once you start getting in the mid-teens, it takes a lot longer to climb the ladder, so at the very least, you'll see more "progress" with the new format.
They probably just want people to be more encouraged to increase their trophy level. Right now there's 8000 "points" between the higher levels, which is the equivalent of getting ~533 bronze trophies. For the people who are buying one or two games a year, that's where their trophy level pretty much stops, and where getting a new trophy might not even move the % bar showing how close you are to the next level.
If people can increase that level more often they might spend more time playing games and that's a good thing for Sony.

So now people going to be either a bronze, silver, gold, or psfan profile. Dumb, now some other dumb shit to annoy people with.
Yeah, I can't remember if it's like level 12 or 16, but the point requirement per level hits a spot that's like going 12->13 is half of what it takes to go from 1->12, so a lot of people slam into a wall right there.
Why do you need rewards? The great thing about trophies isn't beating the games, it's showing everyone online that you did.
PlayStation Home 2 for PS5 please!
decorating my virtual house with rewards from game trophies was a lot of fun.
RE5 ones specifically,
Treasure chest for the treasure trophy
Character statues for the difficulty trophies, Wesker's was for the hardest mode.
I basically sat out the PS3 generation. Opted for a lightly-played Vita (it was my Lumines and P4 Golden machine) and XB360 instead. I'm currently level 13, and don't really care much about collecting trophies. Rocket League is my one and only platinum. This unique star icon next to profiles, though... That's going to make me care. And I hate it. Let me quit my games and ignore my backlog in peace.
Yeah, I guess.
It just seems so....artificial.
But I know seeing bars go up make other people happy, so cool. I don't give a shit about trophies, so I guess it doesn't affect me either way.
Do we have an ETA on the change? Assume it's late tonight (in the US) since Europe gets it tomorrow.
Same time worldwide, they said later tonight so my guess is by 11:59 PM PT it switches over.
I just polished off the Plat for SoR4 the other day, I really should get Astro Bot finished too.
Can't wait to see the change. Trophy has been pretty busted for awhile with how minimal gains were with leveling, which really made anything other than getting a platinum not very exciting after a point.
Had to agree to new TOS before I could play red dead online earlier so I guess this may have something to do with that.
I'm Level 19 with 10 Platinums. Took a screenshot to compare when it goes live tomorrow for me. Be nice to change the number without doing anything really lol been Level 19 for years it feels like. Course not playing many games will do that but still.
Good change. I think most people stopped caring after levelling slooooowed down to a halt after like level 12.
Good tip. I just took a screenshot to compare. Don't really care about trophies but curious where my level will end up changing to
