The easiest platinum trophies on PS Plus Extra
Some people don’t care about them, but we rather like trophies. And there’s nothing quite like getting a platinum. Trophies often make us get more out of our games, challenging us to play on a higher difficulty than we normally would, delve into multiplayer, or do our best to seek out collectibles. But not all platinum trophies require so much work. This article is all about the easiest platinum trophies on PS Plus Extra.
PS Plus Extra gives users access to hundreds of games as part of their monthly subscription. And within that subscription is a selection of games with easy platinum trophies. We’ve picked out a handful of the easiest: all of these games you can platinum in a matter of hours, occasionally with a little extra work involved on your part.
Happily, all of these titles are also enjoyable games. These aren’t games designed simply for the sake of getting trophies (come on, we’ve all seen them littering the PSN store!). Rather, these are games that offer a great experience first, and easy trophies are simply a by-product of that. So everyone’s a winner.
So, if you have a PS Plus Extra or Premium subscription and want to boost your PlayStation trophy level with some of the easiest platinum trophies available, read on to see our picks.
This list was originally published in June 2022 and has been updated periodically since.
1. Deliver Us The Moon
- Time to platinum: ~6 hours
- No missable trophies
For space exploration fans, Deliver Us The Moon is one of the best there is. This atmospheric, story-driven game sees you visit an abandoned space station after an earlier mission failed. It’s your job to visit the station in order to try and find out what happened.
Deliver Us The Moon is not a horror game, but it’s packed with tension and its atmosphere feels wonderfully spooky and oppressive. In terms of trophies, there are some collectibles to find, which are easily missed – but a chapter select optiononce you’re finished makes them very easy to clean up.

2. Call of the Sea
- Time to platinum: 4-6 hours
- No missable trophies
If you’re a fan of puzzle adventure games, you’re going to love Call of the Sea. In it, you’ll take on the role of Norah, a woman who ventures to the South Pacific to track down her missing husband. He went on an expedition some months before, but he’s disappeared without a trace. Norah believes he’s still alive, and she’s determined to find out what happened to him.
This isn’t a very long game: you’ll complete it in around 3-4 hours. You’ll get many trophies for simply finishing the story, too. But you’ll want to make use of Call of the Sea’s chapter select option to make sure you’ve found all of the collectibles. You might want to follow a guide to ensure you don’t miss any.

3. Lake
- Time to platinum 8-10 hours
- All trophies can be missed, but it’s difficult to miss most of them
We love Lake. Imagine a grown up, more story-driven Paperboy, and you’re some way there. It puts you in the role of Meredith, a woman who returns to her hometown to take over her father’s job as delivery driver for a couple of weeks. You’ll take his van around the quaint lakeside town, delivering letters and parcels to the residents.
Only one trophy is story-related: the rest need to be earned by doing “side content”. But this content makes up the bulk of the game – as long as you interact with the characters you come across, most are easy to get. Towards the end, you’ll need to reload a save and play through the last chapter one more time in order to make a different decision.
4. Bee Simulator
- Time to platinum: ~10 hours
- Two missable trophies
Ever wondered what it’s like being a bee? Well, no, us neither, if we’re being honest. But adventure game Bee Simulator lets you live the life of the buzzy creature. And it’s actually rather fun. You’ll explore a world, complete tasks, all while whizzing through the air. It’s a surprisingly great feeling.
Bee Simulator isn’t the quickest platinum in the world: you’ll need to spend about 10 hours with the game to get it. But most of the trophies will unlock simply by playing. There are two trophies to watch out for, though: ‘It’s a Zoo Out There’ and ‘Great Hunger’ can both only be done at specific points in the game, so make sure you’re aware of them as you play.

5. Concrete Genie
- Time to platinum: ~6-7 hours
- No missable trophies
A game published by Sony, Concrete Genie is simply a delight to play, telling a story about, amongst other things, overcoming bullies. It’s a beautiful story filled with beautiful art, and, as a bonus, it has one of the easiest platinum trophies you can earn on PS Plus Extra and Platinum.
You’ll unlock many trophies simply by making your way through Concrete Genie, and the rest you’ll obtain by jumping freely into the game’s world once you’re finished. Even without the promise of an easy platinum, Concrete Genie is well worth playing thanks to its gorgeous visuals and heartwarming story.

6. 11-11: Memories Retold
- Time to platinum: 8-10 hours
- No missable trophies thanks to chapter select
You know what’s better than a game with an easy platinum trophy? A good game with an easy platinum trophy. 11-11: Memories Retold is one such game.
An emotional narrative adventure that tells the stories of two soldiers on both sides during the first World War, you shouldn’t need the prospect of an easy platinum to play through 11-11: Memories Retold – once you’ve started it, you’ll likely be gripped. If you do want to get its platinum trophy without any fuss, however, keep a keen eye out for collectibles as you play, and perhaps make yourself aware of any miscellaneous tasks you need to do that are tied to trophies.
Ultimately, its chapter select feature means that even though 11-11: Memories Retold has multiple endings, it’s one of the easiest platinum trophies you can get on PS Plus Extra. Depending on how thorough you are with collectibles and suchlike, you’ll have its platinum trophy in less than ten hours.

7. Ben 10
- Time to platinum: 6-8 hours
- No missable trophies thanks to chapter select
If you’ve got kids, why not let them get a platinum for you? And if not, there are worse games to play than Ben 10, trust us. Based on the popular kids franchise, Ben 10 is a simple action game that challenges you to save the world. Across three playable episodes you’ll explore, beat up countless enemies and solve puzzles. What’s really exciting, however, is that you can unlock and transform into all ten of Ben’s alien forms. Needless to say, Ben 10 fans will love it.
While you’ll need to complete each of Ben 10’s levels in under 15 minutes to get its platinum trophy, and beat all of its bosses without being hit, they’re tasks that aren’t as tough as they initially sound. All in all, it’s no doubt one of the easiest platinums you can get via PS Plus Extra – and you’ll do it in less than eight hours.
