PlayStation 3 Trophy System Explained

We’ve received numerous requests to explain how the PlayStation Network trophy system works in determining your level and number of points. Each trophy you earn represents points, for example, the bronze trophy is worth 15 points, while the platinum trophy is worth a whopping 180 points (which is the equivalent of 12 bronze trophies). Below, you will find a breakdown of each trophy’s value and the thresholds for each level.

Trophy Points:

  • Bronze – 15 pts
  • Silver – 30 pts
  • Gold – 90 pts
  • Platinum – 180 pts

Level Thresholds:

  • Level 1 – 0 pts
  • Level 2 – 200 pts
  • Level 3 – 600 pts
  • Level 4 – 1,200 pts
  • Level 5 – 2,400 pts
  • Level 6 – 4,000 pts
  • Level 7 – 6,000 pts
  • Level 8 – 8,000 pts
  • Level 9 – 10,000 pts
  • Level 10 – 12,000 pts
  • Level 11 – 14,000 pts
  • Level 12 – 16,000 pts
  • Level 13 – 24,000 pts
  • Level 14 - 32,000 pts
  • Level 15 – 40,000 pts
  • Level 16 – 48,000 pts
  • Level 17 – 56,000 pts
  • Level 18 - 64,000 pts
  • Level 19 - 72,000 pts
  • Level 20 – 80,000 pts

Each level above 20 requires a further 8,000 points. So level 21 is 88,000 points and level 22 is 96,000 etc.

    My friend is level 12 as well and he has 7 plats. whenever i see him on-after he’s finished playing a game and synced his trophies, hes always at least an extra 1 percent higher. maybe you should start aiming to get plats if you haven’t started already so you can get to that higher level. even though plats aren’t worth much (only 12 bronze trophies.they should be worth in my opinion the total trophy points that the game has to offer divided by two) all those other trophy’s that you needed to collect to get the plat will definitely boost your percentage@Niraj Shah

    Thanks mate, I did wonder.

    It’s a bit sad that this has to be explained though. Show how flawed the system is.

    awesome explanation but im wondering for example does it take 600 points to get to level 3 after you have reached 2 or only 400 points because 200 plus 400 equals 600
