The best free games to get Platinum effortlessly

Other express option: Jigsaw Puzzle Drop Carnival. This little-known title works like a Tetris-style puzzle. Despite its strange name in the PlayStation Store, the game is there. According to users, Platinum can be obtained in less than 15 minutes.
For the most patient, Metaball offers a dynamic multiplayer experience in a futuristic style close to acrobatic basketball. “Metaball is definitely the largest time investment on this list, but is also a great change of pace.” Translation: if you have a few hours ahead of you and complicit friends, go for it.
Puzzles, bunnies and a little color
Galaxy Puzzle ticks all the boxes of the Zen puzzle. “This Platinum can be earned in around an hour and consists of objectives like Complete any Forest picture and Complete any puzzle with 150 pieces.” A quiet hour putting together images in a cozy, stress-free atmosphere.

On the absolute relaxation side, Coloring Book allows you to achieve Platinum in 30 minutes. You just have to color drawings, while avoiding falling into the microtransactions that are present there.
More ambitious but accessible titles
The Sims 4despite its scale, can deliver a Platinum trophy in less than five hours, provided you follow step-by-step guides. Several YouTube tutorial videos are hard work, like that of Covert Stubbz. The base game is free, but the expansions require payment.
Astro’s Playrooma little nugget installed by default on PS5, finishes in 3 to 4 hours for a Platinum. This platform game also serves as a technical showcase for the DualSense.
Finally, The Light in the Darknessa moving narrative game about the Holocaust, immerses you in the daily life of a Polish Jewish family during the Second World War. “The Light in the Darkness is a free narrative game that offers a compelling story, even if you’re just looking to get the trophy.”
