Collecting PS5 Platinum trophies can be downright addictive, so much so that we even created a phrase to describe the act of playing a game specifically to get that satisfying notification: Trophy hunting. A lot of developers clearly took notice of this subsection of Sony’s community, with some of them going as far as to release games designed solely to reward a Platinum in a couple of minutes. Anybody who simply wants to amass as many trophies as possible can easily knock out a couple every day if they focus on these types of titles.
Fortunately, you don’t have to buy trophy games to collect Platinums, as you can just stick to “normal” titles that don’t force you to jump through absurd hoops. While the commitment required varies from title to title, these games usually only require a single playthrough, or make it very easy to clean up any trophies you missed. Therefore, let’s go through some of the easiest PS5 Platinums.
Updated June 7, 2026, by Mark Sammut: I have added two easy Platinum trophies to the article, and for different reasons. The first is Saros, which debuted relatively recently and is a pretty simple trophy hunt. The other is Bramble: The Mountain King, which was just added to PS Plus Extra.
We are including games with native PS5 versions, so no PS4 games that run on PS5. That said, we have an article that covers that ground.
We will be ignoring games designed to hand out a Platinum in 5 minutes. The PS Store has hundreds of these releases, and they are all essentially the same.
Along with personal experience, PSNProfiles was also used as a reference.
All Big Upcoming PS5 Games For 2026 & Beyond
From JRPGs to platform, racing, and open-world titles, here are all the big new PS5 games releasing in 2026 and later.
My Name Is Mayo: Remayo
30 Minutes To Obtain The Platinum
Probably one of the most infamous short PlayStation games designed primarily to be an easy platinum, My Name Is Mayo originally debuted on the PS4, and that version is available to play on the PS5 as well. That said, if you are looking to get the optimal Mayo experience, you will want to pick up the Remayo remaster, which is available on both consoles. Although it is basically the same game, it comes with a few additions that make it a touch longer. However, Remayo is still a very straightforward and short game with a platinum that can be obtained in less than an hour.
Drowning
Roughly An Hour To Obtain The Platinum
Drowning is an ambitious walking simulator that aims to show the impact of depression on a young man in his early school life. Unsurprisingly, it isn’t an enjoyable experience and requires four playthroughs to obtain the platinum trophy.
Thankfully, that will only take most players up to an hour to achieve and 30 minutes for faster players. It is highly recommended that players follow a guide to attain the coveted platinum trophy in the game as quickly as possible. Some trophies are missable and can be overlooked without a guide to help.
My Friend Peppa Pig
1–2 Hours To Obtain The Platinum
Peppa Pig is a character that every kid is familiar with at this point, with this surprisingly popular figure teaching children good values in a simple yet engaging manner. This character is bound to feature in a few games that children can enjoy, even if they’re too young to tackle more complicated game mechanics.

What Remains of Edith Finch
2–3 Hours To Obtain The Platinum
Putting aside shovelware, Platinum trophies are satisfying because they signal that a player has experienced everything a game has to offer. Whether that journey requires 5 or 50 hours is somewhat irrelevant, as the Platinum means the same thing for both. What Remains of Edith Finch is an example of a title that just wants you to enjoy it in full, which is easy to do considering the game is great. Essentially a walking simulator, you explore a house in search of stories relating to different characters, allowing you to form a family tree.
As long as you take your time and look through everything, you should unlock nearly every standard trophy during a single playthrough. After that, just replay two stories to get the Platinum. Simple and enjoyable.
Pinkman+
2–3 Hours To Obtain The Platinum
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, macOS, Linux
- Release Date: January 16, 2017
- Developer: Ratalaika Games S.L.
Earning the platinum trophy essentially amounts to beating the game. This is not a case of a game designed simply to give players an easy PS5 platinum trophy. Pinkman+ is an engaging platformer with a simple but distinct art style. It will feel both satisfying and brief to earn this platinum.
Anyone who goes through the game will have no issue snagging this platinum once they beat the game. Any platformer enthusiast is going to have a good time going through Pinkman+.
The Gardens Between
2–3 Hours To Obtain The Platinum
A pretty great adventure puzzle game, The Gardens Between does not overstay its welcome in any way, and The Voxel Agents made collecting the Platinum as painless as possible. While there are quite a few trophies that are not just unlocked automatically by progression through the story, the game has a chapter select option that simplifies the process of cleaning up any missed achievements.
For the first playthrough, I would just recommend playing through the campaign normally without worrying too much about trophies. You will unlock a good percentage of the trophies by just doing that, and The Gardens Between is well-worth experiencing as intended. After that, just slowly check off all the trophies that you might have missed by revisiting chapters.
Venba
2–3 Hours To Obtain The Platinum
More games need to provide some much-needed South Asian representation, and Venba is a great example of why. The game uses cooking minigames to highlight many aspects of South Indian cuisine while communicating a fun narrative along the way.
Venba is a beautiful and short experience that shows indie gaming at its very best. Players who check out this game on the PlayStation 5 will easily power through this fun, cozy game, earning a Platinum trophy in no time at all.
The Artful Escape
3–5 Hours To Obtain The Platinum
The Artful Escape takes you on a mind-trip journey that features rock-solid platforming, beautiful visuals, and great music. The story follows the nephew of a beloved musician who is trying to live up to the latter’s legacy, and he ends up going on quite an adventure of self-discovery.
Along with being just an all-around fun game, The Artful Escape is an easy platinum that should only require playing through the campaign once. Most of the trophies are triggered by completing story beats, which you simply cannot miss. The exceptions are also very obvious and shouldn’t be an issue; that said, if you miss one, just replay that chapter to get it.
Unpacking
3–5 Hours To Obtain The Platinum
Fittingly for such a low-stakes and relaxing game, Unpacking‘s Platinum does not require any significant effort to unlock, and you could be able to complete it in one playthrough. If you are thorough and interact with every item in each stage, you will likely acquire all the trophies you need. If you miss something, just go back to the chapter to unlock the Trophy.
Unpacking is a delightful game that visits a character multiple times throughout her life, with each stage being set on a different moving-in day. Each level requires you to unpack and place her belongings, an act that grants information on her personality and current situation. The concept is interesting and perfect for a quick playthrough.
