The PS5 might take the trophies we collect in games, and make them actually worth more than just bragging rights. These trophies could actually unlock bonus perks, such as content you'd normally pay for.

Our sister site GamesRadar noticed a small-scale detail in concluding week's PS5 user experience preview video that tips Sony's hand. Specifically, they saw fine impress in the trophies for Devastation AllStars that points to unlockable rewards for your PSN profile.

• The best Xbox Series X games
• Plus: Xbox Series 10 could become this killer exclusive, and it'southward bad news for PS5

As you'll see in the below photos, the "Rookie" and "Wreckognized" trophies for the game Destruction AllStars have fine print that references a Contour Banner (for Rookie) and a Profile Avatar (for Wreckognized). Neither i seems to exist unlocked yet, as their art is a trophy-with-lock icon.

Rare and hidden PSN account profile photos and profile artwork seem like a great manner (at least in my stance) to make trophies more than than just a badge of award. These days, people volition pay extra for new themes, and I'd rather game in a globe where good performance is also a valid currency.

While unlockables tied to trophies aren't exactly 100% new (GR points out at that place's a Bloodborne theme tied to that game's Platinum Trophy), this looks like the PS5 is building more bays-based perks into the way we game. Or at least that's the case if this is baked correct into the user interface.

I imagine I might take done more in The Last of The states Role ii had I known that I could unlock more items for my account, rather than merely raising my number of trophies confronting my friends online. I know folks that honey to brag about their trophies, but I'chiliad pretty sure that doesn't apply to everyone.

Check out the total PS5 UI video below, if you haven't watched information technology yet. You lot'll be impressed by how it looks and so much more modernistic than the PS4 interface.
