SIE Bend Studio, makers of 1999’s Syphon Filterfor PlayStation, said on Thursday that their landmark third-person shooter will have trophy support when it relaunches on modern consoles through the new PlayStation Plus subscription service later in June.
The by-the-way note shared on Twitter means it’s likely other PSOne classics will have trophy support as well. Indeed, Sony Interactive Entertainment was awarded a patent in March 2021 for a software system that would, using emulation, detect triggering events and award trophies to players on modern consoles.
