Many novice players are confused about the difference between achievements and trophies and which one’s a better metric of in-game performance for a player. While Xbox has an ‘achievements’ system, we find ‘trophies’ in its direct contemporary, PlayStation. While a player works their way towards achievements and earns ‘gamescore’ in the process, trophies have a tiered system; Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Progressing to the Gold trophy and after that in a game can earn a gamer the Platinum trophy.
