10 Video Game Trophy Stats You Won't Believe

8. Almost 20% Of Persona 5 Royal Players Got The Platinum

Even if it shocks you how few players actually beat games in a barebones sense, nobody should be surprised how few dedicate the time and effort to scooping up Platinum trophies.

When even games with relatively fun and easy Platinums like Until Dawn have only been mopped up by 2.7% of players, it's reasonable to assume that considerably beefier and more demanding plats have been popped by just a fraction of this figure, right?

Yet believe it or not, Persona 5 Royal has been platinumed by 20.2% of European players and 17.7% of North Americans - effectively almost one-in-five of people who started playing the game.

It's an impressive figure given that the game takes well over 100 hours for most players to Platinum, seeming to suggest that the franchise's fans are an extremely die-hard bunch.

More to the point, given that Royal is an enhanced version of the original Persona 5 release, the overwhelming majority of the people buying it were already all-in, may have beaten the base game already, and absolutely knew precisely what they were getting themselves into.

Even so, such a high Platinum rate for a game this huge and challenging is insane.
