Your PlayStation Trophies Will Now Be Worth Money
PlayStation has long sought ways to add value to players’ trophies. It won’t just be a virtual achievement; trophies will unlock exclusive real-world items. The newly announced Franchise Rewards program allows players who earn certain trophies to purchase exclusive official merchandise.
PlayStation Trophies Launch Exclusive Merchandise
The Franchise Rewards program’s first step was taken with Ghost of Tsushima. Players who earn the “Living Legend” platinum trophy in the game, or who earn it by December 31, 2025, will be able to purchase a commemorative pin made exclusively for these trophy holders for $25. These items will not be available anywhere else and will be available only to trophy holders.
Not only that, the program also offers a reward for the “Mono No Aware” gold trophy from Ghost of Tsushima. Players who win this trophy will be eligible to purchase a $30 specially designed t-shirt. The key point here is that the items aren’t free; instead, they’ll be given special access so players can showcase their achievements in real life.
The deadline to purchase these items is January 30, 2026. This means players must both earn the trophies and place their pre-orders before the deadline. This gives them the chance to turn their virtual achievements into tangible keepsakes.
PlayStation has confirmed that it will include Ghost of Yotei in its Franchise Rewards program after Ghost of Tsushima. However, which trophies will be tied to the special items and what type of merchandise will be available have not yet been announced. This suggests that the program will expand in the future and include a variety of games.
PlayStation’s Franchise Rewards system transforms trophies from mere digital achievements into collectibles. More games are expected to be included in this system soon, allowing players to display their challenging trophies in the real world.
