How Hard is Spider-Man PS4‘s Platinum Trophy?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As an avid PS4 gamer and Spider-Man enthusiast, I get asked this question a lot. So let me break it down for you with some hard facts and figures as well as my personal take.

At a Glance

Here are the key stats on the Spider-Man PS4 platinum:

  • Platinum Trophy Earn Rate: Approximately 10%
  • Average Time to Platinum: 35-40 hours
  • Difficulty Rating: 2-3 out of 10

So in summary – compared to many AAA PS4 titles, Spider-Man‘s platinum is very achievable for most gamers.

By the Numbers

Let‘s dig deeper into the numbers:

As of February 2023, Spider-Man PS4 has sold over 20 million copies. Out of those players, about 2 million have earned the platinum trophy.

That 10% platinum rate puts Spider-Man among the highest in the industry for mainstream single-player games. Here‘s how it compares to some other big PS4 exclusives:

GamePlatinum Percentage
God of War7%
Horizon: Zero Dawn4%
The Last of Us 29%

And the average time for players to get the platinum is 35-40 hours. Given that the main story takes ~20 hours, it‘s very reasonable compared to 100+ hour grinds for some games cough RPGs.

Difficulty Breakdown

In terms of difficulty, most players rate Spider-Man PS4 a 2 or 3 out of 10 for its platinum. I wholeheartedly agree with this assessment.

The only real skill-testing trophies are completing all of Taskmaster‘s stealth, combat, bomb, and drone challenges. These demand mastery of Spidey‘s full range of abilities. Certain bomb challenges in particular can be nasty until you figure out the optimal approach.

Outside of Taskmaster, the platinum journey is filled with really fun content. Activities like stopping crimes, collecting backpacks, and unlocking suits will have you fully immersed in the thrill of web slinging through Manhattan.

And there‘s no difficulty spikes from things like:

  • Brutal RNG trophies
  • Online multiplayer
  • Playing through the game multiple times

Conclusion

While not quite easy as pie, Spider-Man PS4 offers one of the most enjoyable roads to platinum I‘ve had the pleasure of playing. The additional content never feels boring or repetitive. Instead, you‘re treated to a variety of compelling challenges and rewarding unlocks.

For these reasons, I think the platinum difficulty rating of 2-3 out 10 is spot on. The roadblocks are very reasonable with some patience and practice. So if you‘re on the fence about 100% completing Spider-Man, I can‘t recommend it enough! Just be prepared to lose yourself in New York City for 35-40 hrs working towards platinum perfection šŸ•øļø
