Can You Delete Games from Your Trophy List?
The world of gaming can be a thrilling experience, with achievements and trophies adding an extra layer of excitement to our gaming adventures. However, sometimes we might want to remove certain games from our trophy list. But, can we delete games from our trophy list? The answer is yes, but with some caveats.
Games that have already earned trophies cannot be deleted
According to PlayStation’s official support website, games that have already earned trophies cannot be deleted. This means that once a game has been completed, and you’ve earned trophies, it’s there to stay. You can, however, hide your trophies from public view or restrict who can see them, but the trophies themselves are permanent.
