FAQ
What is ApexTrophies?
A trophy tracker that ranks profiles by quality over volume. Your score is rarity-weighted — platinums most players earn don't move the needle.
Do I need an account?
No. No email, no password, no PSN login. You verify ownership of your PSN profile through a simple proof step.
How do I verify my profile?
Search your PSN name, tap Claim, and follow the on-screen steps. Verification confirms ownership and keeps the leaderboard clean.
How are Apex Points calculated?
Each trophy's base value is multiplied by the game's rarity tier, based on its platinum completion rate. Lower completion rate means a higher multiplier. The multiplier applies to every trophy in that title — not just the platinum.
See Rarity Multipliers →What does 0x mean?
If a game's platinum is earned by 50%+ of players, it contributes 0 Apex Points. No blacklist, no tags — just a hard floor.
Where does rarity data come from?
From Sony's global platinum completion rate — the same rarity percentage you see on PlayStation. It's a benchmark, not a subjective rating.
How often does rarity update?
Monthly. Between refreshes, scores stay stable. On refresh day, scores can shift as completion rates change across the platform.
Can my score go down?
Yes. If a platinum becomes more common over time, its multiplier may drop on the next refresh. Apex reflects the current rarity landscape.
Is rarity the same as difficulty?
Not always. Rarity is the most objective benchmark available at scale. Some games are rare because they're hard. Some are rare for other reasons. That's why Apex rewards what tends to be hard, rare, or both.
What happens when I sync?
Sync pulls your latest trophy data from PlayStation and recalculates your Apex Points. Your profile updates in place.
What is the Founder Era?
Season 0 — when the foundation was set and the rules were established. Founder Era recognition is never reissued.
See Season 0 →Why is my profile stuck or showing 'evaluation'?
Large libraries can take longer to process. Check back in a few minutes. If it's still stuck after ~30 minutes, reach out at apextrophies@protonmail.com with your PSN.
Can I delete my profile?
Yes. Visit your profile and use the Delete Profile option at the bottom. This permanently removes your data, stats, and leaderboard position. Your PSN can be re-verified later if you return.
