<p>A PlayStation Plus freebie that arrived earlier this week is a rarity; it’s a PS1 game with trophy support, and it’s about time this became more of a standard.</p><p>On June 23, 2022, 13 PS1 games came to <a href="https://www.gamingbible.com/playstation-plus" rel="noopener" target="_blank">PS Plus</a>, namely: <em>Ape Escape</em>, <em>Everybody's Golf</em>, <em>Jumping Flash!</em>, <em>Kurushi</em>, <em>Mr Driller</em>, <em>Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee</em>,<em> Resident Evil: Director's Cut</em>, <em>Syphon Filter</em>, <em>Tekken 2</em>, <em>Toy Story 2</em>, <em>Wild Arms</em>,<em> Worms Armageddon</em>, and <em>Worms World Party</em>.</p><p>However, only five of those games had trophy support: <em>Ape Escape</em>, <em>Everybody’s Golf</em>, <em>Kurushi</em>, <em>Syphon Filter</em>, and <em>Wild Arms</em>. Since that time, roughly half of the PS1 games on <a href="https://www.gamingbible.com/news/platform/playstation" rel="noopener" target="_blank">PlayStation</a> Plus have trophy support, which shows that this feature is far from a standard practice, and it’s long overdue for that to change.</p><h2><strong><em>Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire</em> gets PS1 trophy support</strong></h2><p>As brought to our attention by Reddit user Freespur (via <a href="https://www.truetrophies.com/news/disneys-atlantis-the-lost-empire-trophy-list-reveal-ps5-ps4" rel="noopener" target="_blank">TrueTrophies</a>), <em>Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire</em> is getting 21 trophies for players to acquire, and it’s great to see.</p><div class="social-embed" contenteditable="false"><blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height: 500px;">

Core memory unlocked, I’ll have to check this out for sure,” replied Redditor MyNeighborToto.</p><p>“Capcom would never,” added Mando316, likely referring to none of the original Resident Evil trilogy having PS1 trophy support.</p><p><strong>READ MORE: </strong><a href="https://www.gamingbible.com/news/platform/playstation/retro-playstation-3-games-buy-950011-20260713" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>14 retro PlayStation games you must buy before the store closes</strong></a></p><p>While it might be an entirely unreasonable request, many gamers would love to see every PS1 game on PS Plus get trophy support, with the original Resident Evil trilogy being a common point of discussion. However, in a 2022 article from<a href="https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2022/05/sony-confirms-ps1-psp-trophy-support-is-optional-up-to-the-developer" rel="noopener" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2022/05/sony-confirms-ps1-psp-trophy-support-is-optional-up-to-the-developer" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Push Square</a>, Sony confirmed that the decision for classic games to have trophies relies on the choice of the developer.</p><p>Unless we’re an actual developer working on the PS1 re-release, we don’t know how taxing it is to add trophy support, but if those classic games would get that feature on a more common basis, it would no doubt be welcomed by the community.</p><p>Furthermore, just imagine the added replayability it would provide by adding trophies to the aforementioned Resident Evil trilogy.</p><p>I know, back in the day, we never had such a thing as trophy support, but we’ve all been spoiled rotten, to be honest. But if PS1 trophy support became a new standard, it would be a joyous time for PlayStation retro gamers.</p><p>It might not be wise to hold our breath for PS1 trophy support to become common practice, but at least we can all dream.</p><p>Oh, and before you go, it's perhaps worth mentioning that you don't need to be a subscriber to PlayStation Plus to access classic PS1 games, because the moment they're added to the library, they're also made available as a standalone purchase.</p> <img src="https://sb.scorecardresearch.com/p?c1=2&c2=15593740&cv=2.0&cj=1" />

<p>Under the new leadership of Head of Gaming Asha Sharma, Microsoft is making huge strides to finally fulfil its strapline of 'being where gamers are'.</p><p>The Xbox Game Pass, specifically, is being subject to an overhaul as the <a href="https://www.gamingbible.com/news/platform/xbox/xbox-game-pass-price-drops-830052-20260421" rel="noopener" target="_blank">company announced a 23 percent price drop</a> at the expense of Call of Duty no longer launching as a 'day one' title on the subscription.</p><p>Now, an entirely new tier is expected to be released for a select portion of players, and, again, it comes with a catch.</p><h2>Xbox's new Game Pass tier is made for 'starters'</h2><p>The reshuffling of the Xbox Game Pass has already been announced, as Shama cited that the $30 a month Ultimate Tier fee was 'too expensive', with all players feeling the effects of premium Activision titles inflating the tiers.</p><p>Another handful of subscription tiers could also be on the way, as rumours have it, Xbox and PC gamers <a href="https://www.gamingbible.com/news/platform/xbox/xbox-game-pass-second-price-cut-107727-20260423" rel="noopener" target="_blank">will be able to choose the benefits</a> that they want.</p><p>Another low-value tier is also reported to be coming, as The Verge claims that a new 'Starter Edition' is coming.</p><p>This leak suggests that PC players will get ten hours of cloud gaming to enjoy each month, with over 50 free titles to enjoy, such as <em>Stardew Valley </em>and<em> Fallout 4.</em></p><blockquote align="center" class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Microsoft's new Xbox Game Pass "Starter Edition" just leaked. It's going to be bundled with Discord Nitro subscriptions, and includes 50+ games and limited cloud streaming. Full details here 👇 <a href="https://t.co/DyKuMkADFb">https://t.co/DyKuMkADFb</a> <a href="https://t.co/rhWs4TFEH5">pic.twitter.com/rhWs4TFEH5</a></p>— Tom Warren (@tomwarren) <a href="https://twitter.com/tomwarren/status/2047445008333054328?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 23, 2026</a></blockquote>

<p>The pricing of the subscription hasn't been revealed, but it's also expected to <a href="https://www.gamingbible.com/news/platform/playstation/ps5-lose-console-feature-thanks-xbox-collaboration-929321-20260423" rel="noopener" target="_blank">include Discord Nitro</a>, given that it is targeting PC gamers.</p><p>However, some people have pointed out that the leaks don't include online multiplayer - in fact, the report goes out of its way to say that it isn't included.</p><h2>It's not good news for multiplayer gamers</h2><p>The rumoured subscription ensures that 'online multiplayer' isn't referenced, unlike the usual Xbox Game Pass tiers, which are all required to play with friends.</p><p>Quickly taking note of this, online players called it an 'L'.</p>

<p>There could be a few reasons for this, though.</p><p>The first is that the free games included in the Starter Edition subscription will be purposefully picked single-player games - but that its contradicted by the inclusion of <em>Stardew Valley</em>, unless it's not the complete version of the game. Fallout 4 famously doesn't have an online multiplayer experience.</p><p>Or, it could be that online multiplayer isn't required in the future. Essentially, cloud gaming will soon mean everyone is online, so all subscriptions will include the feature; Subscriptions wouldn't need to market online play in the lowest-tier of subscriptions, as the <a href="https://www.gamingbible.com/news/platform/xbox/xbox-next-gen-console-remove-worst-feature-065871-20251028" rel="noopener" target="_blank">consoles will have cloud gaming baked into them</a>.</p><p><strong>READ MORE: </strong><a href="https://www.gamingbible.com/news/pc-50-free-xbox-games-449200-20260424" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><strong>PC Owners Can Get Over 50 Free Xbox Games, Here's How</strong></a></p><p><br /></p> <img src="https://sb.scorecardresearch.com/p?c1=2&c2=15593740&cv=2.0&cj=1" />
