Summary
- Newly-added PS Plus Premium classic Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings now offers a full trophy list for completionists to enjoy.
- The PS Plus Premium classics catalog has done well to offer trophy support for older games that didn't have them.
- Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings offers 21 trophies on PS4 and PS5, most of which don't appear to be particularly difficult.
Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings is now live on PS Plus Premium with a full trophy list. The obscure PS2 game joined the classics catalog on PS Plus Premium earlier this week, and brings glad tidings for trophy hunters as well.
PS Plus Premium has made tremendous strides in its classics catalog offerings over the past year, mostly thanks to the addition of a revamped PS2 emulator. The PS1, PSP, and PS2 classics on PS Plus Premium not only offer features like rewind, save states, resolution and framerate bumps, and video filters, but also trophy support for completionists who revel in popping platinums. Occasionally, PS Plus Premium classics forgo trophy lists entirely, but they're patched in later for some of these rare cases.
These Are the 10 Most Wanted PS Plus Premium Games
Data reveals the 10 games that PlayStation Plus subscribers most want to see added to the Premium tier of the service.
The January 2025 lineup for PS Plus Premium includes Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, an unexpected PS2 classic with a bizarre story behind its development. Initially announced for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2003, Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings underwent a long spell of developmental trouble that ultimately resulted in its cancelation. To recoup its losses as much as possible, developer LucasArts launched the game's externally-contracted PS2, PSP, Wii, and DS ports in 2009, all of which had dissimilar campaigns and gameplay.
Odd history aside, trophy hunters will be happy to know that Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings offers 21 trophies, including a platinum, on PS4 and PS5. The trophy list itself appears fairly straightforward, but those looking to secure the platinum will likely have to be careful with the artifact trophies, since they can be easy to miss. Overall, Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings looks to be on the easier side in terms of platinum trophy difficulty.
The addition of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings to PS Plus Premium also seems a bit deliberately timed, as MachineGames' Indiana Jones and The Great Circle is slated for a PS5 release just a few months out in spring 2025. Fans of Indiana Jones games on PlayStation can occupy themselves with Staff of Kings in anticipation of Great Circle, and perhaps even get a platinum trophy out of it.
