Feature: Going Platinum: I Went Full Trophy Sicko and Got the Bugsnax Platinum Twice on PS5 and PS4
A columnist for Push Square chronicles their achievement of earning platinum trophies for Bugsnax on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The author successfully completed the game’s platinum achievement on November 4th, 2020 for PS4, and again on November 25th, 2020 for the PS5 version. Having reviewed Bugsnax professionally for both console iterations, the author was well-positioned to pursue the platinum on each platform. As one of the PlayStation 5’s launch titles, Bugsnax holds particular significance in the author’s trophy-hunting timeline, marking a memorable milestone in their expanding collection. The feature article explores the author’s growing dedication to trophy collecting and celebrating gaming achievements. Notably, the author clarifies that earning the platinum on both consoles was not a matter of automatic trophy synchronization—a common feature where PS4 trophies may automatically unlock on PS5—but rather involved genuine separate completion efforts on each platform. The piece is part of the author’s ongoing ‘Going Platinum’ series, which documents various platinum trophy achievements and the gaming experiences that accompany them, highlighting trophy hunting as a significant aspect of gaming culture.
