Do PS4 and PS5 Games Have Separate Trophy Lists?
The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 are two distinct consoles developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. While both consoles share some similarities, they also have significant differences when it comes to trophies. One major question that many gamers have is: "Do PS4 and PS5 games have separate trophy lists?"
The Direct Answer
According to Sony’s official information, all current PS5 games have their own list of trophies. This means that your PS5 games have unique and separate trophy lists, separate from those on your PS4 games.
However, there is an exception. Older PlayStation 4 games can share trophies, meaning that if you start playing a PS4 game on a PS5, your PS5 will automatically upload the trophy list you have earned on your PS4 to continue from where you left off on PS5.
Trophy Listings for PS4 Games
But what about PS4 games and their trophy lists? Are they completely disconnected from the PS5?
As an owner of a PS4 and/or a PS5, you’re able to see your PS4 games on both consoles. When you start playing a PS4 game on a PS5, Sony automatically uploads your earned trophy list from your PS4 so that you can continue playing without skipping a beat.
Here are a few important points to keep in mind for PS4 games:
• PlayStation 4 games will keep the same trophy list on both PS4 and PS5 consoles.
• PS5 offers backwards compatibility with PS4 games.
• PS4 game players will continue to earn trophies from either console.
Trophy Listings for PS5 Games
Moving onto PS5 games, their trophy list is entirely separate from your PS4 games. This means that every single PS5 game will have its exclusive set of trophies, unique and reserved only for that particular console and game.
Here are some more pointers on PS5 games:
• A new trophy list will be generated automatically with every new PS5 game installed, independent of any existing trophies you earned on PS4 games.
• Each PS5 game may display the same trophy descriptions from your PS4 counterpart in your PS5 menu and profiles.
• Not Transferable: Trophies earned from one system won’t transfer directly from an old PS4 version.
• Autopuppling Trophies: For any auto-popping trophies available only for PS5.

| PS4 | Same lists | Shared trophy listing | – |
| PS5 | New lists | New/Unique trophy listing | No |
A Possible Reason for Separate Trophy Listings: Why?
Many factors may have contributed to the separate trophy system from one console to another:
To Encourage Separate Hardware : Having two, separate trophy lists encourages more exclusivity and dedication from those gamers who invest more seriously in a particular console or group
To Showcase PlayStation Legacy: By creating and expanding new trophy lists exclusively from the PS5, it seems even more likely that this aspect provides the company with the means for setting these trophies apart from older
PS4 trophies.Additionally, separating trophy lists encourages gaming platforms to continue pushing toward exclusivity and innovation.
