Gamers hoping to snag a platinum trophy on the Playstation 5 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 were recently disappointed with its lack of such. For many, this game ushers in nostalgia as it was one of the most popular games in the Call of Duty series. It was first released in 2011 and had an extremely successful run since then.
Players noticed the absence of the platinum honor upon revisiting the game recently. They were unable to find the corresponding trophy or achievements they remembered in their previous playthroughs. With no platinum to be found, many opted to make a deeper dive to find out why it was missing.
It turns out that the lack of the platinum trophy wasn’t a planned decision by Playstation 5 developers, but instead due to certain legacy issues on the consoles. Games from the Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 era are often locked into those consoles, without a way to port over onto the Playstation 5. Unfortunately, due to this, many features are lost, including the highly-coveted platinum trophies.
This news has definitely left a sour taste in the mouth of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 fans. The game was such a big hit when it first released, and it’s unfortunate that it’s unable to get the full justice from its latest remastered version. Playstation 5 gamers have banded together, petitioning Sony to seek ways to make these trophies available for the latest gen console.
Until then, unfortunately, gamers will have to make do with the lack of a platinum trophy. Despite this, it’s still worth taking a dive into the game and reliving the iconic moments it had to offer. Gamers are thankful to Sony for developing the remastered version for the Playstation 5, as it can be enjoyed worldwide all over again.
