For trophy hunters

A trophy view similar to PSNProfiles, built into the app.

  • Profile, level and trophy statistics — streaks, milestones, busiest days
  • Rarity on every trophy, with Ultra Rare / Very Rare badges
  • Closest to platinum and a platinum cabinet
  • Pin missing trophies as goals and add notes like “missable in chapter 3”
  • One click to the game's PSNProfiles, PowerPyx and YouTube guides
  • Trophy text in your language when the game has it, machine-translated when it doesn't

Tercana isn't affiliated with PSNProfiles or PowerPyx; it links to their public guides.
