Black Ops 6 Another Call of Duty with No PS5 Platinum Trophy

Because of the way the Call of Duty franchise is handled on PS5, Black Ops 6 will be the second entry in a row missing a Platinum Trophy for the current-gen version. Instead, it will be added to your PS5 Profile page as a DLC list for 2022's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, as was last year's Modern Warfare 3. This is a result of the way the Call of Duty app on PS5 is implemented, where all the recent games and Warzone live under one roof as a single launcher. As such, all the games fall under a single "Call of Duty" app, and so too do the Trophies, originally tied to Modern Warfare 2 when it all started.

For anyone looking to play Black Ops 6 from release day on Friday, the Trophies will be displayed like below, as a DLC list underneath a two-year-old game:

However, the game does have a Platinum Trophy on PS4, and the PS5 list will replicate the last-gen requirements, just without the ultimate gong for achieving 100 per cent. You'll need to complete the game on the Veteran difficulty level, complete specific tasks during missions, enter Prestige 1 in multiplayer, and work your way through the Zombies mode, among other things. You can check out the full list on Exophase.

The lack of a Platinum Trophy will seem like a disappointment for many, but one of the (admittedly few) nice things about the implementation is all your Call of Duty playtime and records — across recent games and Warzone at least — are housed under one roof. The only issue is if you want a Platinum Trophy displayed on your PS5 Profile for the Call of Duty app, you'd need to go back and 100 per cent a two-year-old game. With Modern Warfare 2 still seen as the "main game" for the app, it's the only one with a Platinum Trophy.
