The launch of the PS5 has complicated the trophies system across the different PlayStation consoles. Unfortunately, trophies unlocked on the PS5 can only be viewed on the PS5, while the older console vary in what you can see.
The PS5 is able to show trophies unlocked on all four platforms that support trophies, including the PS3 and PS Vita, which have been discontinued for years. But the other consoles do not show PS5 trophies, including the PS4 which has not been officially discontinued yet.
The table below outlines which trophies you can see on which console:
| PS3 | PS Vita | PS4 | PS5 | PS App | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PS3 Trophies | Y | O | Y | Y | Y |
| PS4 Trophies | O | O | Y | Y | Y |
| PS Vita Trophies | O | Y | Y | Y | Y |
| PS5 Trophies | N | N | N | Y | Y |
You can see examples of how trophies look on the various PlayStation platforms below. Screenshots weren’t possible on the PS3, but we can confirm that PS5 Trophies do not appear on the console, but it does show PS4 and Vita trophies.
