Trophy Support Arrives as PlayStation Plus Drops Surprise Update for 1999 Star Wars Classic

Trophies arrive for Star Wars

A Reddit post by user kabirsingh84 reported that Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace had received an update on PlayStation Plus. The change adds trophy support to the 1999 PS1 game.

Players can earn 21 trophies and 1,350 Points. The set includes two bronze, 10 silver, eight gold and one platinum trophy.

A long-awaited catalog addition

The game entered the PlayStation Plus catalog in January 2024, and more than two years have passed since its arrival. The new feature gives players a fresh incentive to return to the title.

Access limited to top tiers

PlayStation Plus members need a Premium or Deluxe subscription to access the Classics catalog and play the game. Essential and Extra members do not have access to that catalog.

Trophy support is not available across all older titles. Reddit commenters pointed to older Resident Evil games and Dino Crisis as examples that remain without the feature.

No timetable for other games

There is no indication of whether or when those Capcom games will receive trophy support. The update for The Phantom Menace adds a new feature to a game that had been in the service for years. Older games can receive updates long after joining the catalog, but the article gives no schedule for further additions.
