There’s something strangely satisfying about seeing that little PlayStation Platinum trophy pop up on your profile, and there are several ways to grow your collection. You could spend 50 hours battling through a sprawling RPG for one, or you could take the much more sensible and, of course, easy route: play a free game, have a bit of fun, and walk away with a shiny new Platinum without sacrificing your entire weekend.

Some of these games are beloved classics, while others are smaller, more unusual titles, but they all have one thing in common: their Platinum trophies are surprisingly easy to earn. You won’t need lightning-fast reflexes, an encyclopedic knowledge of every game mechanic, or dozens of hours of grinding to grab all these trophies.

This list of easy PlayStation Platinums is particularly useful in 2026, when there are already plenty of excellent free-to-play games competing for your attention. Whether you’re here to boost your trophy count between bigger releases or simply want a few easy trophies to fill out your profile, let’s get to the names, shall we?

Astro’s Playroom

If you own a PlayStation 5, chances are you already have one of the easiest Platinum trophies sitting on your console. Astro’s Playroom comes pre-installed with every PS5 and turns the console itself into a playground, taking Astro through colorful levels inspired by different pieces of PlayStation hardware. The good news for trophy hunters is that almost nothing is particularly demanding here.

Most of the Platinum requirements in this game simply involve finishing levels, finding collectibles, defeating enemies in specific but easy ways, and discovering some amusing secrets hidden throughout the stages. There are no difficulty-related trophies, no online requirements, and, most importantly, nothing is permanently missable. You can revisit levels whenever you want to clean up anything you overlooked.

Some trophies do require you to perform particular actions, such as hitting specific objects, finding hidden areas, or interacting with console-themed items. However, these are more about paying attention than having exceptional platforming skills.

This Platinum is generally rated around 2/10 in difficulty. You can roughly complete it in three to four hours (five to seven hours if you aren’t in a hurry), depending on how much you explore and how much cleanup you need. Yeah, it’s the longest game to Platinum on this list, but for a free game that comes pre-installed on your console and is genuinely fun to play, Astro’s Playroom is an excellent starting point for any new trophy hunter.

Splash of Color

Some games ask you to spend dozens of hours earning a Platinum. Splash of Color basically asks you to sit down, solve a few colorful riddles, and call it a day. This free PS5 game has just 12 trophies, including the Platinum, and most of them are incredibly simple to pick up.

The majority of the trophy list is tied to completing puzzles and watching those colors and pictures come to life, but there’s a healthy amount of variety too. One trophy may have you finish a puzzle in under five minutes, while another challenges you to complete larger puzzles within a certain number of moves. But that’s about as difficult as things get.

No boss waits to ruin your evening, no difficult combat section, and no enormous list of collectibles you’ll have to hunt down with a guide open on your phone. Even the few trophies with specific requirements shouldn’t cause much trouble once you’ve figured out how the game works. The whole thing can be finished in roughly 30 to 40 minutes, although this will depend on how quickly you solve the puzzles.

If you want a Platinum you can grab while you have a spare half hour, Splash of Color is the easiest one to target on this list.

The Legend of Fireball

The Legend of Fireball looks like it might take a little more effort than some of the other games on this list, but don’t let its adventure-game-like appearance scare you away. You can grab this Platinum as easily as Splash of Color, though it might take a bit more of your precious time.

Most trophies here are tied to playing through The Legend of Fireball and completing its objectives. You’ll earn them by progressing through the levels, defeating enemies, collecting items, and completing the various tasks the game throws at you. So, if you are someone who doesn’t normally chase trophies and is simply doing it for the rush, don’t worry—there’s no need to refer to a guide.

You don’t need to keep stopping every few minutes to check whether you've accidentally missed something important. You may need to do a little cleanup after you finish the main objectives before you hit the trophy requirement, but it’s easy to figure out. The game is short enough that going back for anything you missed won’t turn into a second playthrough.

Expect this Platinum to take around 1 to 2 hours, depending on how quickly you get through the levels. That’s a pretty small investment for an easy shiny trophy, if you ask me.

Diamond Painting ASMR

If you’re looking for a PlayStation game that’s light, cozy, and also brings you a free Platinum in a jiffy, add Diamond Painting ASMR to your library. The game has you complete diamond-painting designs by placing colored pieces in the right spots, and its trophies largely reward you for doing just that. There are no complicated objectives to figure out or difficult sections to overcome. You simply work your way through the paintings and pick up trophies as you go.

That’s not to say every trophy appears instantly. You’ll have to spend some time completing the paintings, and that makes this a little longer than shorter Platinum hunts like Splash of Color. However, the extra time doesn’t come with a huge increase in difficulty. You’re mostly doing the same straightforward activity until you’ve checked off everything required for the Platinum.

For Diamond Painting ASMR, you can hit Platinum in roughly 2 to 3 hours, depending on how quickly you work through the paintings. I’d say that’s not much of an ask. It’s a cozy game anyway, so you can have fun as you work towards your goal.

If your idea of a relaxing evening involves sitting down with a free PlayStation game that asks very little of you, Diamond Painting ASMR could be a surprisingly painless way to add another Platinum to your collection.

Buffet Boss

Buffet Boss has 22 trophies, most of which tie to the upgrades and tasks you’ll complete as you build your restaurant. You’ll earn trophies for buying tables, hiring a cook and bartender, building food stations, upgrading your dishwasher, collecting ingredients, and improving characters. There are also trophies for completing five phone orders on time and reaching the final character level.

The fact that the trophy requirements are closely tied to the game’s progression makes the Platinum fairly easy to work toward. You don’t have to pull off complicated combinations or complete a series of difficult challenges in Buffet Boss. Instead, you can unlock most of the trophies simply by continuing to expand the restaurant and upgrade its equipment.

The one trophy that can hold things up and deserves a special mention here is 50,000 in Tips, which requires you to collect 50,000 in tips at once. You’ll need to let the restaurant accumulate enough tips before picking them up, so this can add some waiting to the end of your run. That said, it’s more of a time requirement than a difficult challenge. Even then, this Platinum takes around 1 to 2 hours to earn. The exact time can vary depending on your speed, though.

With most trophies coming naturally through progression, you don’t need to do much extra for this one. For a free PlayStation game, that’s a pretty painless route to another Platinum.
