Frequently Asked Questions

No. You do not need to sign in or link your PSN account. Simply enter any public PSN ID and PlatHub will fetch available trophy data permitted by Sony's privacy settings.

Only titles where you've earned the platinum trophy are displayed. Make sure your trophies are fully synced to PSN from your console — unsynced games won't appear. Also confirm your PSN privacy settings allow trophy visibility so PlatHub can access your public data. If you see an error mentioning a private profile, check your PlayStation privacy settings and make sure trophies are set to public.

Sync your trophies from your console to make sure your latest achievements are visible on PSN. You can follow the official guide here: How to sync your trophies on PlayStation.

Your trophies are read from PSN the first time a PSN ID is looked up, and that reading is then reused for about an hour — which is what makes the site quick when you come back or move between tools. Within that window, entering the PSN ID again shows the same result rather than fetching it afresh.

So a platinum you earned in the last hour may not appear yet. Nothing is wrong and there is nothing to do — once the hour is up, the next look-up reads your trophies from PSN again and the new platinum is there.

PlatHub supports PS5, PS4, PS Vita, and PS3 titles that appear on PSN and include a platinum trophy. You can also filter by platform in the sidebar to show only games from a specific console. When multiple platforms share the same trophy list, the latest released platform is shown.

It's the percentage of PSN players who have earned that game's platinum trophy, fetched directly from PSN. You can display this on each tile in the mosaic and on the Platinum Card, and use it to filter the collection by rarity threshold.

Almost nothing. The detailed trophy data behind a mosaic, tier list, recap or backlog is fetched from PSN, used to answer your request, and never written to a database. Your customization settings (colors, layout, sort order, etc.) are saved only in your browser's local storage and never sent to any server. No account exists and you are never asked for a password.

The exception is the PlatHub Leaderboard: any PSN ID looked up on the site is kept on the server with a summary of its public profile — online ID, avatar, trophy level and trophy counts — so it can be listed publicly. You can remove yourself at any time (see the leaderboard questions below).

If you see a 429 (too many requests), wait a short while and try again. Temporary PSN hiccups can also cause errors; a quick retry usually fixes it. For large collections the fetching may take a few seconds(even minutes) — this is normal.

Absolutely. PlatHub is community-driven. Whichever of these is easiest: contact@psnplathub.com, Instagram or Reddit.

Use the donation button in the bottom-right corner of the page! Donations help keep PlatHub running by covering server costs and supporting ongoing bug fixes and new features. Every contribution helps—thank you for supporting the site!

If, before September 2026, you shared PlatHub anywhere (Reddit, Discord, X/Twitter, YouTube, a forum, or elsewhere), suggested a feature, or reported a bug, and can prove it, reach out to me on Reddit or Instagram or email contact@psnplathub.com. Early supporters receive a special badge on their profile and an Early tag beside their PSN ID as a thank you.

Once your result has finished loading, use the Download button near the top-right corner to save it as a high-quality PNG. Downloads are available for Platinum and 100% Completion mosaics, individual Platinum Cards, tier lists, yearly recaps, Alphabet Challenge boards, game-series trackers, and Game of the Year boards. Make your customizations or choose the year or series first—the export captures the version currently shown.

There is a lot you can customize, and the best way to discover everything is to open the settings and play around with it yourself. Changes appear instantly, so experiment until the mosaic looks exactly how you want it.

Yes. All your customization settings — colors, layout, sort order, tile overrides, filters, and more — are automatically saved in your browser's local storage. They are restored the next time you visit, so you can pick up right where you left off.

Open the Sorting section in the sidebar. Choose from date earned, game name, rarity, or Custom Order. With Custom Order selected, you can drag any tile to a new position — your arrangement is saved and restored on reload.

Yes. While Custom Sorting is active, hover over any tile and click the red × button to hide it from the mosaic. The hidden count is shown in the Filter Platinums sidebar section, with an Unhide All button to restore all hidden tiles at once.

The Filter Platinums section in the sidebar lets you narrow down the mosaic by:
  • Year & Month — show only platinums earned in a specific time period.
  • Platform — show only PS3, PS4, PS5, or PS Vita games.
  • Rarity — filter by a custom percentage threshold using a ≤ or ≥ operator.
  • Remove Duplicates — hide repeated games (e.g. cross-platform releases) so each title appears only once.
The profile header platinum count updates automatically to reflect the active filters.

Yes — open the Edit Tiles section in the sidebar. Check one or more tiles from the scrollable list and adjust their border color, label color, and border radius independently from the global settings. Changes apply to all checked tiles at once. Tiles with active overrides are marked with a dot (●) in the list. Use Clear Selected or Clear All Overrides to reset them.

Yes — the Edit Tiles section has a Conditional Rules area above the tile list. A rule reads as a condition and the colors to paint when it matches, so instead of picking tiles by hand you can say:
  • Rarity % is rarer than 5 — give every one of the hardest platinums a red border.
  • Platinum # is a multiple of 25 — mark each milestone platinum with a pink border and label.

Each rule can set a border color, a label color, or both, and can be switched off without deleting it. Rules are evaluated top to bottom, so a later rule wins the colors it sets — and a tile you styled by hand always beats every rule. Because a rule matches on the data rather than on a fixed list of tiles, it keeps working as the collection grows: the next milestone platinum is colored the moment it appears.

Platinum # counts in the order they were earned, so #1 is the first platinum — the same number shown on the tile. On the 100% Completion Mosaic the rule counts completions instead, and the rarity condition is not offered there, since a 100% has no single trophy to take a rarity from.

Open the Profile Header section in the sidebar. You can show or hide the avatar, username, level, platinum count, and individual trophy counts (gold, silver, bronze, total). Choose from several layout modes, pick a background color, apply a gradient, and control font sizes for the username and trophy numbers independently.

Yes. In the Profile Header section — and in Card Header for the Platinum Card — there is a Custom avatar row with an Upload button. Pick any PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF and it replaces your PSN avatar on both the mosaic header and the card. The picture is cropped from the centre to a square and scaled down to 256px, so a tall or wide photo keeps its middle rather than being squashed.

The avatar is saved in your own browser and never leaves your computer — there is no account and nothing is uploaded to a server. It is remembered against the PSN ID you searched, so it comes back the next time you look yourself up on the same device and browser, and it is shared by the mosaic, the 100% Completion Mosaic and the Platinum Card. Looking up somebody else shows their PSN avatar as normal.

Because it lives in the browser, it will not follow you to a different device, a different browser, or a private window, and clearing your browsing data removes it. Reset Settings deliberately keeps it — to take the picture off, use the button next to it, which puts your PSN avatar back.

Yes. Both the mosaic background and the profile header support 2-color gradients. Enable the gradient toggle in the Background or Profile Header settings, pick the two colors, and select the gradient direction.

Enable the Remove Duplicates toggle in the Filter Platinums sidebar section. This hides repeated entries for games released on multiple platforms so each title appears only once in the mosaic.

A single public board of the PlayStation profiles checked on the site, with three rankings: PlatHub Points, which weighs each platinum by how few players own it and adds what your badges are worth, and is what the board opens on; Pure Points, the same weighting from platinums alone; and Platinum Count, the straight tally. It is not a members list and there is nothing to sign up for — a row simply means that PSN ID has been looked up on PlatHub at some point. Everything shown is data a public PlayStation profile already shares.

Use any tool on the site with your PSN ID and you are added automatically. To do it directly, open the leaderboard, type your PSN ID and press Search. Search reads your profile and platinums using the same caches as the mosaic, updates your score, and shows your ranking.

Search refreshes a new or existing profile, then shows its ranking with the five hunters above and below. The PSN ID must match exactly, apart from capitalisation. Search uses the same caches as the mosaic, so recent data is reused until it expires. A newly earned platinum may take up to an hour to appear.

Nothing on the board refreshes by itself. A row is written when somebody looks that PSN ID up and updated the next time somebody does, so parts of the board sit behind until they are checked. Using any tool on the site with your PSN ID brings yours up to date. Build a mosaic or tier list to refresh your points as well. Search also refreshes your ranking using the same caches as the mosaic.

Put noplathub anywhere in your PSN About me, then look up your PSN ID in the mosaic tool. Your row is removed straight away, from both rankings, and will not come back even if somebody else looks your PSN ID up later. This always works immediately — it is never held up by the wait that applies to ordinary checks. You can take the keyword out of your bio afterwards — the choice is remembered. To rejoin, put yesplathub there instead and press Search again.

Your bio is used because it is the only part of a PlayStation profile that you alone can edit, so nobody else can remove you from the board or put you back on it.

A ranking on the leaderboard that weighs each platinum by how few PlayStation players have earned it, instead of counting every platinum as one. A small collection of brutal platinums can out-rank a very large collection of easy (shovelware👀) ones. Badges add to this total as well — see below.

The rarest platinums are scored to the decimal, so a 0.1% platinum is worth far more than a 0.2% one. Common platinums are grouped together, down to 3 PlatHub Points for one that most players already have. Here is what every rarity is worth:

Fun mini-achievements unique to PlatHub! Collect badges to celebrate your milestones and earn extra PlatHub Points. They appear on your profile, and hovering over one shows how to earn it and how many points it adds.

The same scoring as PlatHub Points — every platinum weighed by how few PlayStation players have earned it — with points from PlatHub badges removed.

It exists because the PlatHub Points ranking does count points from PlatHub badges. Pure Points ranks hunters solely by the rarity-weighted value of their platinums: the rarer a platinum is, the more it contributes to your score. Your position reflects only the platinums you have earned, with no extra points from badges of the site.

Because your platinums have not been read one by one yet. Type your PSN ID into the box at the top of the leaderboard and press Search, or build a mosaic or a tier list — any of those reads every platinum you own, which is what PlatHub Points need.

Yes, in two ways. Earning new platinums raises your total the next time you are checked or build a mosaic. Rarity itself also moves — a platinum gets more common as more people earn it — and each of your platinums is re-read from PlayStation about every two weeks, so a game that was worth more when you were first scored can settle down to less.

There are three rankings. Platinum Count uses platinum trophy count and nothing else. PlatHub Points uses the rarity-weighted total plus whatever your badges add. Pure Points uses the same weighted total with badges removed. On all three, hunters on the same figure share a rank and are listed alphabetically between themselves, so nothing else quietly places one above another.

The same mosaic, built from completion instead of platinums. It collects every game where you have earned every trophy in the list, including games that have no platinum to earn at all, and lays them out as a grid you can style and export.

Because 100% means every trophy in the set, DLC included. A game where you took the platinum but left DLC trophies behind is not complete, so it appears on the platinum mosaic but not this one. Rarity, the platinum trophy name and the platinum icon have no meaning without a platinum, so those settings are left out here; everything else works the same and each mosaic keeps its own saved settings.

Drag the platinums into S through F tiers to rank them, then download the finished board as an image. You can rename and recolor the tiers, add new ones, and drop a platinum exactly where you want it in a row rather than always packing to the left. On a phone or tablet, press and hold a platinum to pick it up. Only games where you earned the platinum appear, so the board ranks finished platinums rather than a backlog.

Your platinums broken down by year, month, platform, day of the week and rarity, along with the rarest and most common platinums and the best year. Compare mode puts a second PSN ID on the same charts, either overlaid or side by side, so you can measure two hunters against each other.

A platinum year in review for any year on the profile: how many were earned, the rarest and easiest, the busiest month, and the weekday games get finished on most. A dropdown switches between years instantly, and the whole recap downloads as an image.

Every game on the profile with a platinum not yet earned yet, ranked by how far through the trophy list you are — so the platinum you are closest to finishing sits at the top. Each game shows how many trophies are left and which grades they are. You can search it, group it by console, and reveal games you have never earned a trophy in.

The percentage is the one PlayStation reports for the whole trophy set, so it counts DLC trophies — but a platinum never requires them. A game whose DLC packs are larger than its base game can show under 50% even when every trophy the platinum needs is already earned. Games with DLC packs carry a DLC tag, and you are closer to those platinums than the number suggests.

Three ready-made challenges checked against a profile's platinums:
  • Alphabet Challenge — earn a platinum for a game starting with every letter from A to Z, and see which letters are still open.
  • GOTY Challenge — progress against every Game of the Year winner since 2009, with remasters and Game of the Year editions matched to the year they won.
  • Series Tracker — full platinum lists for major PlayStation franchises with a profile's progress checked against each one, counting cross-generation releases separately.
