Why Is Battlefield 6’s Platinum Rate So Low?
Battlefield 6’s most common trophy is held by 65.96% of tracked players. Every other game in the table sits between 90.90% and 100.00%.
EveryTrophy attributes the gap to players who jump straight into multiplayer and skip the campaign. Measured against players who started, its platinum rate moves from 6.45% to 9.8%.
Source: EveryTrophy, study published 24 August 2026
Do Longer Trophy Lists Lower Completion Rates?
No clear link shows up. EveryTrophy measured a −0.016 correlation between trophy count and platinum rate in its 21 August 2026 snapshot, which covered 334,081 players across 13 games.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II carries 84 trophies and a 7.88% platinum. Crimson Desert has 35 trophies and a lower 4.49%.
Hollow Knight: Silksong has the shortest list at 34 trophies. Its 10.16% platinum trails Silent Hill f, which reaches 20.99% with 57 trophies.
EveryTrophy’s reading is that the most demanding single trophy, and how many playthroughs it forces, decides a platinum rate.

Steam vs PlayStation Game Achievement Completion: Why Rates Differ
Steam reports each achievement as a percentage of all players. EveryTrophy notes that this base covers every owner, whether they played the game or not.
Exophase publishes unlock rates over the players it tracks. Steam’s most common achievements in the five titles above run from 75.0% to 94.0%.
EveryTrophy states that Steam percentages come out systematically lower and are not comparable with PlayStation figures.
Platinum rates also keep rising for months after launch, per EveryTrophy, so its 2025 and 2026 figures are snapshots rather than final numbers.
DLC trophies do not count toward a platinum. Some DLC trophies therefore sit below a game’s platinum rate without contradiction.
