New Third-Party PS Plus Classic Gets Trophies

Sony has added another game to the growing list of third-party PS Plus Premium classics with trophies. The latest addition is LucasArts’ 2009 PS2 game, Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, which comes with a trophy set each for PS5 and PS4.

Many publishers on board with trophies for PS Plus classics, but some disappoint

When Sony said that it was leaving trophy support up to publishers for third-party games, we weren’t expecting surprise retroactive patches to add the feature later on. The last retroactive trophy update rolled out in September 2024 for the TimeSplitter series.

Fans have welcomed trophy support for Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, but the inclusion of the game itself in this month’s Premium lineup hasn’t exactly been well-received. Staff of Kings earned average reviews when it first released, and has several versions. Fans are puzzled by Sony’s choice here.

“You can tell it was basically Wii Shovelware converted into a PS2 game,” wrote one user on PSNProfiles. “Think yourself lucky it wasn’t the Wii version because that one is borderline unplayable,” a player responded. “I’m just grateful that we’re getting older games with trophy support,” wrote another.

We’ve got to agree that it’s nice to receive trophy support at least. Now if only we could get Bandai Namco Entertainment and Capcom on board…
