Trophies not unlocking

Phoenix Point Bug Discussion

I played this game for a day and a half, maybe two, on PS4 recently. I’m not new as I’ve been playing the game since backing it and playing the EGS version for years. Now, I’m not a SUPER trophy hunter, so I didn’t notice at first, but none of my trophies were unlocking for the entire time I was playing. Eventually, I moved the save to my other Playstation, and that somehow unjammed the trophy freeze because I unlocked Super Soldier shortly after. Since then, I’ve been able to unlock everything, including stuff I should have already unlocked (although my first trophy is forever going to be Super Soldier and that’s going to annoy me, but whatever).

My question is, has anyone else on Playstation had this “no trophy unlocking” glitch? I’m trying to figure out what triggers it so it doesn’t happen again. I’ve been googling, but the only pattern I’ve noticed is that it MIGHT be from putting the Playstation in rest mode, and then picking the game back up upon waking it instead of closing the game on exit and loading the next session from scratch. Can anyone give insight so I don’t spend dozens of hours chasing trophies that won’t pop?

This is one of the biggest culprits. When you suspend a game via rest mode and later resume it without fully quitting, some games fail to re-register trophy-related triggers with the PlayStation system.

Yes, the “no trophy unlocking” glitch on PlayStation is a known issue, and your observation about rest mode is a common suspicion among players. Many reports suggest that putting the console into rest mode with a game running, and then resuming, can sometimes prevent trophies from popping. While there’s no single confirmed trigger, completely closing the game application and relaunching it from scratch (rather than using “continue” or “resume activity”) is a frequently recommended workaround that has helped many users resolve the issue and force previously earned trophies to unlock. Transferring the save file to another console, as you did, can also sometimes unstick the trophy system.
