Earning a Platinum Trophy on PlayStation is always a bit of an occasion; you've not only completed a game, you've (probably) gone out of your way to beat a range of additional challenges.

With the latest PS5 firmware update installed, the notification for unlocking a Platinum Trophy has been updated, as spotted by Twitter user @IBadDriverI. A Platinum already had its very own notification sound, but now, it also has a unique animation:
It's only a small touch, but it just makes the act of getting a Platinum even more of an occasion than it was before. We'll be looking forward to seeing this notification pop up when we nab our next one.
