15,000 Platinum Trophies: PlayStation’s Ultimate Trophy Hunter

You think you’re a trophy hunter because you 100%’d Elden Ring once and got the platinum for Stray? That’s adorable. Meanwhile, timpurnat—a real-life XP grinder disguised as a human—just hit his 15,000th Platinum Trophy on PlayStation. That’s not a typo. Fifteen. Thousand.

This isn’t just dedication. It’s a lifestyle. It’s a full-time job with no vacation days. And it’s a record that makes the rest of us look like we’re still stuck in tutorial mode.

The Stats That Make Your Controller Cry

Let’s break this down. As of August 2025, timpurnat has:

• Played 16,556 games
• Fully completed 16,343 of them
• Earned 387,191 total trophies
• Averaged 112.2 trophies per day
• That includes over 15,000 Platinum trophies, 120,000 Gold, 86,000 Silver, and 163,000 Bronze. If you’re wondering how that’s even possible, the answer is equal parts obsession, efficiency, and probably a caffeine IV drip.

And yes, some of those platinums come from “easy” games—like Side Shot Booster, a $0.99 title with 24 players and 24 platinums. But timpurnat’s collection also includes heavy hitters like Bloodborne, Doom, and Wolfenstein, So it’s not just shovelware padding. There’s real sweat in there.

The Race to the Top: Who’s the Real Trophy King?

On PSN Profiles, timpurnat sits in second place globally, just behind dav1d_123, the actual holder of the Guinness World Record for most verified Platinum trophies. Dav1d_123 has 15,489 platinums and over 21 million points. Timpurnat? 15,020 platinums and 20.4 million points.

It’s a neck-and-neck leaderboard battle that’s less about bragging rights and more about who can outlast the other in a war of attrition. Think Pokémon rival energy, but with less friendship and more controller fatigue.

The Games Behind the Grind

Timpurnat doesn’t just chase numbers—he documents the journey. On social media, he shares commentary on each platinum, like his 14,929th for Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival:

“Nice music and easy platinum. I was surprised to see they made this one so much easier than previous entries. Even if you fail a song, you’re still progressing.”

That kind of insight shows he’s not just mindlessly grinding—he’s curating. Reviewing. Strategizing. It’s trophy hunting as an art form.

What It Takes to Hit 15,000 Platinums

Let’s be real: this kind of achievement isn’t just about skill. It’s about time, money, and an iron will. You need access to thousands of games, the ability to optimize every playthrough, and the mental stamina to chase trophies that most players wouldn’t even notice.

It’s not for everyone. But for timpurnat, it’s clearly the mission. And whether you admire it, envy it, or quietly judge it, you can’t deny the scale of what he’s accomplished.

Final Thoughts: We’re All Just Side Quests in His Journey

Trophy hunting is supposed to be a side activity. A little extra challenge. But for timpurnat, it’s the main quest—and he’s speedrunning it like a man possessed.

So next time you pop a platinum and feel proud, just remember: somewhere out there, timpurnat is unlocking his 15,001st. And he’s probably doing it while you’re still watching the opening cutscene.
