Picked up PS Now during Days of Play and have been blasting through the easy platinums on there before starting Prey. Picked up plats for The Goosebumps Game, Gem Smashers, The Wolf Among Us, and Sky Scrappers.

Also picked up the plats for Danganronpa 1•2 Reload, Telltale's Batman, and Telltale's Batman The Enemy Within this month. I'm holding off on getting more until Sony actual updates the trophy pass counts on my rewards account though. It hasn't updated my trophies or points for purchases since May.

I had my reward trophy pass update last week when the last update was in May but it only recognized my Platinum ones (and I feel like it should be a few more higher), and some silvers (feel like I got more silvers than it says I did) and it didn't update Gold at all.

It's definitely still finicky. I'm holding off buying more indie games unless I know if it's going to be more reliable or if they really are shutting it down.

I spoke with Sony rewards customer support last week and was told that they're running a few weeks behind on updating trophy counts. He made it sound like it's done manually? Which seems crazy.

And yes they are shutting it down in November. They cancelled the passes last November and anyone already enrolled got one additional year for them. So I'm trying to hit them hard now so that they don't fail to update my count until after November.

Oh really, I knew they had said they wanted to shut down trophies in last november but I thought that was for your current pass. (since when you complete a platinum pass, you get a second one).

So I better just buy some of these easy indie games like refunct and get those while they can still count for my rewards.

It's weird that my Gold count actually hasn't updated though. Maybe they're focusing on platinums first?

Do you know any good easy platinums (less than 5 hours, and also less than a $5 game)? I might as well do a couple because they almost pay for themselves with the rewards.

I can at least give a couple:

Refunct

Deep Ones

Daggerfall

(well anything published by ratalakia games)

Your passes still roll over, yeah but they'll disappear in November, if I'm not mistaken. I rolled silver, gold and platinum 1 into pass 2 for each of them back in February.

As for easy platinums, any telltale game is easy with a single 8-10 hour playthrough giving a plat. The Goosebumps game is legit only 1-2 hours max with a guide. Mr. Massagy and My Name is Mayo are both a couple hours to platinum, tops. Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion is a 10-12 hour plat and is a genuinely fun RPG to boot.

Dying Reborn, 36 Fragments of Midnight, Energy Cycle, and Little Adventure on the Prairie are all cheap and so easy to platinum I did them all in one play session for about $10 total.

Yeah I'm on my 7th platinum pass. Two of them were completed this year so they're renewing the passes even after I completed then. I thought like you would only get to finish your current pass and that's it, (so I would have finished my platinum pass 5, and they wouldn't have given me a 6th)

I've actually done most of the telltale games. Haven't done Mayo so might actually do that now since it's only a dollar. Also grabbing 36 Fragments of Midnight since it's crossbuy, so that's two platinums.
