Earning a Platinum trophy on PlayStation is no small feat. Completing a game 100% requires time, skill, and often an incredible amount of patience. While most players might unlock a few Platinums in their gaming journey, a select few take trophy hunting to a whole new level — turning it into a full-blown lifestyle.
One such dedicated player is timpurnat, who recently made waves in the PlayStation community by revealing he has surpassed 15,000 Platinum trophies. Through his account on X (formerly Twitter), the prolific trophy hunter celebrated this major milestone, highlighting his unwavering commitment to completing games to their fullest.
According to his PlayStation Network profile, timpurnat now holds 15,020 Platinum trophies, over 387,000 total trophies, and a player level of 999 — placing him among the most accomplished gamers in PlayStation history. But despite these staggering stats, he still trails behind the current record holder.
Who Holds the World Record for Most PlayStation Platinum Trophies?
According to PSNProfiles, the title of most Platinum trophies currently belongs to Dav1d_123, who boasts 15,489 Platinums and a trophy score exceeding 21 million points. In comparison, timpurnat has accumulated 20,422,230 points, placing him in a close second and positioning him to potentially claim the Guinness World Record for most Platinum trophies.
A Trophy Hunting Journey That Began at 14
Timpurnat began his trophy-hunting journey roughly eight years ago at the age of 14. While he admits that not every Platinum represents a unique game — some titles offer multiple stackable versions — the feat remains extraordinary. He also acknowledged that a number of Platinums were relatively easy to earn, but the sheer volume speaks to an unmatched level of dedication.
As expected, the reaction from the community has been mixed. Some players questioned whether chasing trophies at this scale diminishes the enjoyment of games, while others praised his consistency and encouraged him to go for the top spot.
“Do you even enjoy video games anymore or are you just addicted to trophies? I feel like you just look for a guide, rush the game, and move on. Still, it’s impressive and I respect it.”
“This is insane! Unbelievable!”
The Legacy of Trophy Titans: Hakoom and More
While timpurnat and Dav1d_123 are currently dominating the leaderboard, longtime PlayStation fans might remember Hakoom, a legendary trophy hunter who once held the Guinness World Record with over 1,700 Platinum trophies. However, his career took a dramatic turn in 2024 when he retired after alleging that Sony employees had stolen and sold his account, a claim that caused shockwaves in the community.
What It Takes to Earn a Platinum Trophy
Earning a Platinum trophy often involves far more than simply finishing a game’s main story. Players must collect every other trophy in the game — including the most challenging and obscure ones. This can involve completing every side quest, discovering hidden collectibles, or surviving brutally difficult gameplay challenges. Some Platinums can take dozens (or even hundreds) of hours to achieve.
With over 15,000 Platinum trophies and nearly 400,000 total trophies, timpurnat is now on the verge of making gaming history. As the race for the top spot intensifies, all eyes are on whether he can surpass Dav1d_123 and claim the Guinness title for himself.
