Some people are obsessed with getting as many trophies as possible. They will even play games they have no interest in just because the particular title has an easy-to-nab platinum trophy. A couple of them only take a few hours, while some of the more involved ones take more time but are still easy to obtain. While there are some mindless, cheaper games on the PlayStation Store, seemingly designed just to give people an easy platinum trophy on the PS5, most of the games are also big titles that will give players emotional fulfillment in addition to the trophy.
While some people like slaving away for a Platinum trophy, it can wear on a player's patience after a point because of the menial tasks involved in getting this achievement. As a result, there's always an appeal to a short and sweet title that lets players unwind and rewards them with this treasured achievement in no time at all. It's a simple pleasure that many PlayStation 5 gamers will enjoy for their own reasons.
Updated February 2, 2026, by Mark Sammut: Three more Platinum trophies have been added: Pulse, Unpacking, and What Remains of Edith Finch.
We are including games with native PS5 versions, so no PS4 games that run on PS5. That said, we have an article that covers that ground.
Also, while we will mention games designed for a quick Platinum trophy, we will also include traditional PS5 titles that are relatively easy hunts. It would get boring quickly if we only mentioned trophy games, as there just isn't anything to write about most of them.
Along with personal experience, PSNProfiles was also used as a reference.

Although it has different levels of difficulty that require a bit more effort, ShapeShift Rush's Platinum Trophy requires NOTHING from players, except $2.49. The game has a very simple gameplay loop: you have to jump between three lanes to match an auto-rolling ball with the right shape. The better you do, the more crystals you collect.
All PS Plus Tiers and Every Game You Can Play Right Now (January 2026)
Sony's PlayStation Plus is an enticing subscription service that offers a lot of value. Here is almost everything someone needs to know about PS Plus.

The Jumping Churros: Turbo is similar to My Name Is Mayo but with a different aesthetic. Instead of clicking on a jar of mayonnaise, players make a churro jump up and down constantly until they reach the platinum trophy. This game even allows players to simply hold down the jump button, making for perhaps the easiest platinum trophy to earn on the PS5.
It is difficult to tell whether the developer released this game as a joke or if they knew they could make some easy cash from those who want to exploit the trophy system. Either way, it's both funny and an unsatisfying way to earn a platinum.
There are other Jumping games, like The Jumping Salad: Turbo, that accomplish the same thing.
Be A Bee
1–10 Minutes To Get The Platinum Trophy
Be A Bee
- Released
- June 26, 2025
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- Nostra Games LTD
- Platform(s)
- Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5
- Genre(s)
- Simulation
OK, this is the last "platinum" game we are going to discuss, as there really isn't anything to say about any of these. Be A Bee is another game that exists primarily so you can add a platinum trophy to your account (although a Switch version also exists), and you should be able to get it done in under 5 minutes. All you need to do is collect coins and flowers, which is very easily done.
Pulse
2 Minutes to 1 Hour To Obtain The Platinum
- PlayStation Store Link
- Genre: Visual Novel
- Developer: Webnetic
- Release Date: January 30, 2026
Another game that will likely only be purchased by trophy hunters, Pulse sets the bar extremely low for a Platinum, as all you really need to do is read through the visual novel and pick the default dialogue option a handful of times. If you are picking this game solely to get the trophy, you can just speed through the campaign and ignore everything, completing everything in roughly a minute. However, if you decide to actually play through the game normally, it would probably take you around an hour, depending on how quickly you read.
To its credit, Pulse puts in some effort and tries to be a budget visual novel. Yes, it only cycles through a couple of images, and the story is nothing great, but there is at least something here.
My Name Is Mayo: Remayo

My Name is Mayo: Remayo

- How Long To Beat
- 1 Hour
Probably one of the most infamous short PlayStation games designed primarily to be an easy platinum, My Name Is Mayo originally debuted on the PS4, and that version is available to play on the PS5 as well. That said, if you are looking to get the optimal Mayo experience, you will want to pick up the Remayo remaster, which is available on both consoles.
Although it is basically the same game, it comes with a few additions that make it a touch longer. However, Remayo is still a very straightforward and short game with a platinum that can be obtained in less than an hour.
Drowning
Roughly An Hour To Obtain The Platinum
Drowning
- Released
- November 7, 2018
WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- Polygonal Wolf
- Genre(s)
- Adventure, Indie
- Platform(s)
- PS Vita, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Windows, macOS, Linux
Drowning is an ambitious walking simulator that aims to show the impact of depression on a young man in his early school life. Unsurprisingly, it isn't an enjoyable experience and requires four playthroughs to obtain the platinum trophy.
Thankfully, that will only take most players up to an hour to achieve and 30 minutes for faster players. It is highly recommended that players follow a guide to attain the coveted platinum trophy in the game as quickly as possible. Some trophies are missable and can be overlooked without a guide to help.
My Friend Peppa Pig

Peppa Pig is a character that every kid is familiar with at this point, with this surprisingly popular figure teaching children good values in a simple yet engaging manner. This character is bound to feature in a few games that children can enjoy even if they're too young to tackle more complicated game mechanics.
The 60 Best Local Co-Op & Split-Screen Games You Can Play on the PS5 (2025)
Although couch co-op isn't as common as it once was, there are still plenty of great local co-op and split-screen games for the PlayStation 5.
A bonus here is that the game can be completed in no time, with the Platinum trophy unlockable after just an hour and a half. This is nothing compared to the other titles that make players toil for ages to get this accolade.
What Remains of Edith Finch
2–3 Hours To Obtain The Platinum
What Remains of Edith Finch
- Released

WHERE TO PLAY
- Developer(s)
- Giant Sparrow
- Genre(s)
- Adventure
- Platform(s)
- PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, iOS
Putting aside shovelware, Platinum trophies are satisfying because they signal that a player has experienced everything a game has to offer. Whether that journey requires 5 or 50 hours is somewhat irrelevant, as the Platinum means the same thing for both. What Remains of Edith Finch is an example of a title that just wants you to enjoy it in full, which is easy to do considering the game is great. Essentially a walking simulator, you explore a house in search of stories relating to different characters, allowing you to form a family tree.
As long as you take your time and look through everything, you should unlock nearly every standard trophy during a single playthrough. After that, just replay two stories to get the Platinum. Simple and enjoyable.
Pinkman+
2–3 Hours To Obtain The Platinum
- Platforms: PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, macOS, Linux
- Release Date: January 16, 2017
- Developer: Ratalaika Games S.L.
Earning the platinum trophy essentially amounts to beating the game. This is not a case of a game designed simply to give players an easy PS5 platinum trophy. Pinkman+ is an engaging platformer with a simple but distinct art style. It will feel both satisfying and brief to earn this platinum.
Anyone who goes through the game will have no issue snagging this platinum once they beat the game. Any platformer enthusiast is going to have a good time going through Pinkman+.

More games need to provide some much-needed South Asian representation, and Venba is a great example of why. The game uses cooking minigames to highlight many aspects of South Indian cuisine while communicating a fun narrative along the way.
Venba is a beautiful and short experience that shows indie gaming at its very best. Players who check out this game on the PlayStation 5 will easily power through this fun, cozy game, earning a Platinum trophy in no time at all.
