PlayStation 5 automatically records the moment players earn a Trophy

PlayStation 5 automatically records a short video capturing the moment when players earn a Trophy.

While PS4 enables players to automatically save a screenshot whenever they earn a Trophy, Sony’s next-gen console goes one step further.

Kinda Funny’s Greg Miller demonstrated how the new feature works during a video preview (above) of Astro’s Playroom, the game which comes pre-installed with PS5. The video shows how the console recorded him earning his first Trophy as well as the build up to the actual moment itself.

It seems that the Trophy recording feature is enabled by default, but as with PS4’s Trophy screenshot feature, players should be able to disable it if they want.

Sony overhauled the PlayStation Trophies system earlier this month, introducing new Trophy levels and a new level calculation structure.

An embargo on PS5 coverage lifted earlier today. The first PS5 unboxing videos have been published by various media outlets, after US-based publications received their review units last week.

Press have also finally been able to compare the size of retail PS5 units to other consoles.

And multiple Astro’s Playroom previews and gameplay videos have been published, including the following.

Sony is gearing up to launch PlayStation 5 on November 12 in the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea. The rest of the world will get the console a week later on November 19.
