Classic Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Receives PS5 Trophy Update After 27 Years

Players revisiting Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 can now earn in-game Trophies, nearly three years after the classic movie tie-in title was ported to Sony's modern consoles and 27 years after its initial debut.

According to reports from tracking sites like PSNProfiles, the newly introduced Trophy list features 21 achievements in total. While many of these are tied to standard level progression, others offer unique challenges for hunters looking to test their skills.

Trophy List Details and Challenges

The newly added PlayStation Network achievements range from straightforward campaign milestones to more specific tasks. Notable challenges mentioned in the update tracking include:

• Level Progression: Completing stages such as the Trade Federation Ship, Gardens of Theed, Escape from Theed, Encounter in the Desert, and Assault on Theed.
• Exploration & Secrets: Finding three Proton Missile Launchers in the Gardens of Theed and walking into the Jawa bar in The Mos Espa Arena.
• Skill-Based Tasks: Completing the Otoh Gunga level without any casualties, saving Tomo and defeating the beast in Mos Espa, and defeating eight enemies using a single Thermal Detonator.

While achieving the Platinum Trophy is considered attainable for most players, certain requirements like the Otoh Gunga zero-casualty run may require extra effort.

Availability and Access

It remains unclear why developers or publishers chose to add Trophies so long after the game's initial port to the PlayStation Plus Classics catalog. However, the update provides an added incentive for returning fans.

• Subscription and Purchase: The game is currently available to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers or for individual purchase on the PlayStation Store.
• Verification: Players can check their console trophy menus or verified tracking databases like PSNProfiles to review the full list and track their progress.

Beyond this classic title, the broader landscape for Star Wars gaming continues to evolve with various titles and projects reportedly in development across different studios.
