PS3 Trophies compulsory from 2009

Sony has confirmed that Trophy support for PS3 games will be mandatory from January 2009. At the moment, Trophies have been optional to developers, until now.

This means for multiplatform games, people who enjoy earning achievements if they owned both consoles would most likely pick the 360 version for the achievements. But now Sony is putting an end to that, confirming that in January all games must have Trophy support as standard.


This means that only games after the release of January 1st will be affected by this. This does not include those set to release after January 1st that have already been produced.
