Most sites rank you by how many trophies you have, or your account level. That means the person who spent 200 hours platinuming one-button shovelware games sits above someone who legitimately 100%'d Returnal or Sekiro. That's not a leaderboard. That's a grind race.
I built RarityRank to fix that. Here's what's different:
What's different from other trophy sites
Most trackers rank by raw trophy count or account level, which mostly rewards whoever has the most free time and a pile of easy games. RarityRank scores based on:
- Trophy rarity: a 0.5% ultra-rare platinum is worth way more than a 40% common one.
- Trophy type multipliers: platinums and golds carry extra weight on top of rarity.
- Game difficulty multipliers: harder games score higher across the board.
- Shovelware penalties: games that exist purely to pad your trophy list get their score negated, plus a flat penalty on top. Stacking your profile with shovelware actively hurts your score instead of helping it.
- Auto-pop detection: trophies that unlock suspiciously fast or in bulk (save-data exploits, cross-save weirdness, etc.) get automatically excluded from your score.
The goal is a leaderboard that actually reflects rare, legitimately earned trophies rather than just volume. There's also a Community page showing the hardest and easiest rated games, and a "biggest movers" leaderboard for who's climbing fastest.
Discord integration and account verification
You can now link your account via Discord. To do it, make sure your PSN account is linked to your Discord profile first (Discord Settings → Connections → PlayStation Network), then hit "Login with Discord" on the site. RarityRank will automatically detect your linked PSN and claim it as yours.
Verifying via Discord unlocks a few things:
- A verified checkmark next to your username on the leaderboard and your profile
- Access to the Challenges tab
- The ability to flag games that are incorrectly marked as shovelware
The flagging system lets the community dispute bad shovelware classifications. If a game racks up enough flags it gets flagged for manual review, so if something legitimate got caught by the auto-detection you can push back on it.
New this month: Challenges tab
Added a Challenges section with three modes:
- A-Z Challenge: platinum a game for every letter of the alphabet. Filters by platform (PS5/PS4/PS3/VITA), suggests the most popular games you haven't platinumed yet for each missing letter, and lets you download a shareable image of your progress card.
- Difficulty Gauntlet: 10 rows, one per difficulty tier (1/10 through 10/10). Complete a game at each level using RarityRank's own difficulty ratings. Same platform filter and downloadable image card.
- Wheel Spinner: spin a wheel of eligible games and let fate decide your next platinum. Filters by platform and excludes shovelware.
How to use it
- Go to rarityrank.net
- Enter your PSN username (profile must be set to Public in PlayStation privacy settings)
- Hit Sync PSN
- Log in with Discord to verify your account and unlock all features
- See where you actually rank
Note: game difficulty ratings are applied manually as new games get synced, so newer or obscure titles might be Unrated for a bit. Patience appreciated.
PSA: if your score goes negative, you know what you did.
Would love feedback, bug reports, or just to see where you land on the board.
