PS5 Trophy List
As everyone knows at this point, the trophies from the PS4 version do not in any way transfer to the PS5 (other than prestige).
I understand this has been discussed before, but have we received an official response?
My primary issue is that this significantly inhibits the ability to play the best version of the game and player freedom for those that care about trophies/achievements. Because I don’t want to redo all of the trophies again, I can’t even load up the game on a new system or I have to fully repeat the platinum. This seems unreasonable for this type of ongoing game and I strongly think this should be looked into. It is prohibiting some from migrating to the best version of the game.
Almost all games in a similar category have server based player statistics. Whenever an action is performed, it checks with the server and will award the trophy/achievement if the threshold is met. Why can this not be implemented in this game? Essentially you’d only have to do each action once for it to award the trophy/achievement on the new version if it was already done on the old version (1 long-range hatchet throw, 1 player hit after dropping pallet on you, 1 self-unhook, etc)?
I understand many don’t care about this issue, but there are a lot of us that do and feel trapped playing a single version of the game. This option would be easy enough to implement, is largely standard for similar games, shows respect to players, and enhances player freedom.
I would be very grateful for any official comment on this topic. Thanks!

Does anyone know if they’ve ever commented on this topic? I can’t find anything about it

I think they did comment on this once in a stream, it was like „yeah sorry but we probably can’t do anything about it so have fun doing it all again“. I have completely stopped caring about trophies in DbD now since I won’t do the old ones again.

The PS5 version is a brand new game that they gave you for free. That's why the trophies didn't carry over.
That's the positive spin I took on it when I had to do Adept Nurse and Evil Incarnate again!

Lmao I do love when other people claim that. The PS5 version is obviously not a “brand new game”. It’s identical and you can cross play with the PS4.
Its just a shame because it’s such an easy fix and the current setup deincentivises upgrading to the PS5 version. Obviously, the trophies for this game take dedication and a lot of them require you to specifically focus on the trophy. I doubt there are many people that would want to do the entire list again.
Hopefully they make it so that you can just perform one action to unlock the trophy if you’ve already met the requirements on the PS4. I just assumed all stats were saved server side for the game.
Maybe we’ll get an official response 🙏

I'm NO trophy hunter but if it's a favourite game of mine then yes I will plan on earning every trophy for it but I've moved onto the PS5 and me forcing myself having to do it all over again? Nah. I'll only be bothered to do it if I'm motivated or just really bored out of my mind

BHVR did not have to recode the game for PS5. They could have left it as it was so that all PS5 owners had to play the low res, low framerate PS4 version. Which you can still do.

I asked this question a while ago and the devs answered it live, and they said that they couldn't at the time due to technical limitations but they aren't ruling it out for good.
Hopefully someone will come in and say that their situation has changed and they can let them transfer, because I really don't want to have to do some of these trophies over again. On PS4 I'm three trophies away from the platinum, have every Killer Adept up until Oni (plus PH), every Survivor Adept until Elodie (I had already switched to PS5), and a bunch of other trophies. I'm getting back to where I was on PS5 but like I said before, I'd prefer not to have to go and redo some of these trophies because they were a pain in the ass.

I don't think they will ever merge them now. If they did that they would have to take earned trophies away from players.

I would think the devs could tell the system not to do that. Just keep both lists and have the game compare them and only give you the trophies you haven't earned on PS5 but already have on PS4 and not take any away. They could even have trophies transfer both ways too like Assassin's Creed Valhalla. The Prestige trophies already transfer both ways (I got Nemesis to P3 50 on PS5 version and then both trophies popped the moment I opened the PS4 version), so why can't the rest? I would think they've got something to get the game to recognize that the requirements for every other trophy have already been met.

Well that is interesting. I platinumed the PS5 version but couldn't get "Where did they go" on PS4. It might be worth a quick reinstall for a chance at a free platinum

Is there any way someone official could actually comment on this one way or the other? I don’t want to waste time going for all of this AGAIN if they’re going to add trophy syncing functionality in the future.
I know not everyone can relate, but I have pretty severe OCD when it comes to completion and can’t leave something unfinished. If this will definitively not be changed, then I will work towards these trophies again, but I would be upset if I spent 100s of hour intentionally aiming for them and then they end up auto-popping in the future. Clarity on this issue would be really helpful! Thanks in advance :)
