PlayStation Mobile launched very recently on a variety of devices, chief among them PlayStation Vita. Yet, while offering players a promising future of cheap, bite-sized games, PlayStation Mobile seemed to have missed out on including something that would get the attention of the hardcore PlayStation community: Trophies.

In a conversation with The Verge , Sony’s Sarah Thompson, who is in charge of “content acquisition” for PlayStation’s new mobile initiative, confirmed that Trophy support is en route, along with online leaderboards. “It’s coming. I couldn’t tell you what the timeline is on that, but those kinds of features are definitely in our purview. We are hearing the feedback, and we take everything from what the gamers are saying and what the developers are saying to heart. Trust me, it’s a priority for us,” she told the website.Trophy support would go a long way in engendering much-needed hardcore support for the fledgling initiative, which could sink or swim based on how it’s adopted early on. And it seems Sony knows that, is listening and will be handing over tools to the developers to make Trophies a reality in the near future.
