What on Earth are all these numbers?

We’re not going to lie to you, all those figures can seem a little daunting.

And, of course, you can glance at your friends list and luxuriate in your superiority as you crush all before you.

So then, let’s take a look at the basics and take the first step towards gaming godhood...

Sony's Trophy Scores and Levels

You’ve probably been doing this gaming lark for a while so you know trophies come in 4 flavours. Of course you do, you’ve come here because you’re ready to cast out the mundane and start testing yourself against the harshest of criteria. But in the interests of clarity, Sony grades your performance with Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum awards. PSN has given each of these trophy types an XP score:

Bronze - 15 XP Silver - 30 XP Gold - 90 XP Platinum - 180 XP

Your level on the PlayStation network is determined by adding up all the XP scores for the trophies you have won, and then comparing them to this depressingly simple table:

PSN Level XP Needed PSN Level XP Needed PSN Level XP Needed 1 0 - 200 6 4,000 - 6,000 11 14,000 - 16,000 2 200 - 600 7 6,000 - 8,000 12 16,000 - 24,000 3 600 - 1,200 8 8,000 - 10,000 13 24,000 - 32,000 4 1,200 - 2,400 9 10,000 - 12,000 14 32,000 - 40,000 5 2,400 - 4,000 10 12,000 - 14,000 15 40,000 - 48,000

from there, each level from 15 to 100 is another 8,000 points. Of course, you don't see all this on your PlayStation, you just see your level and the number of trophies you have of each type.
