PS5 Remastered Edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Lacks a Platinum Trophy
Disappointing news for avid trophy collectors as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 lacks a coveted Platinum Trophy on PS5, leaving players longing for the ultimate achievement
The release date for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is November 10. Players who have digitally preordered the game can access the campaign today, but it has been discovered that the game does not feature a Platinum trophy for PlayStation 5. The trophy list for Modern Warfare 3 is grouped under DLC for Modern Warfare 2 on players' PlayStation 5 profiles. This means that players can earn a total of 39 trophies for Modern Warfare 3, but there is no option to obtain a Platinum trophy.
According to PowerPyx, the PlayStation 4 version of Modern Warfare 3 has its own game listing and offers a Platinum trophy. Players who have the cross-gen bundle on PlayStation 5 still have the option to download the PS4 version of the game in order to earn the Platinum trophy for Modern Warfare 3.
The absence of a Platinum trophy may be related to the new method of accessing Call of Duty games through the Call of Duty HQ app. Recent titles like Modern Warfare 2, Warzone, and Vanguard are all connected to the same launcher, allowing players to switch between them from a single menu. Furthermore, Activision announced in August that there would be a single access point for Modern Warfare 2 and all future Call of Duty games. This centralized hub for the series raises the possibility that next year's game may be classified as DLC for Modern Warfare 2, resulting in a lack of a Platinum trophy as well.
Modern Warfare 3 on PlayStation 5 offers a total of 39 trophies, spanning across campaign, multiplayer, and the exciting new co-op Zombies extraction mode.
Get ready as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 officially releases on November 10. Find all the information you need about the game, including its campaign, multiplayer, and battle royale modes, right here. Don't forget, you can start preloading multiplayer and Zombies on November 8.
Editor's P/S
As an enthusiastic fan of the Call of Duty franchise, I am both excited and disappointed by the news regarding the lack of a Platinum trophy for Modern Warfare 3 on the PS5. On one hand, I am thrilled that the game is being remastered and released on the latest generation of consoles, allowing me to experience the classic title with enhanced graphics and performance. The inclusion of 39 trophies, covering campaign, multiplayer, and the new Zombies mode, provides a substantial amount of content for trophy hunters like myself.
On the other hand, the absence of a Platinum trophy is a letdown, as it diminishes the sense of accomplishment and prestige associated with achieving the highest tier of trophies in a game. The fact that the PS4 version of Modern Warfare 3 offers a Platinum trophy makes the omission on the PS5 even more puzzling and disappointing. Additionally, the possibility that future Call of Duty titles may follow a similar structure, with games being classified as DLC rather than standalone releases, raises concerns about the devaluation of the Platinum trophy system in the series.
Overall, while I am excited to play Modern Warfare 3 on the PS5 and engage with the new content and challenges it offers, the lack of a Platinum trophy leaves a bittersweet taste. I hope that Activision and the development team will reconsider this decision in future installments, allowing players to strive for the ultimate achievement and celebrate their dedication to the franchise.
