Time to set sail for a new life, as the Moonglow Bay for PS5 and PS4 platinum trophy has been revealed. Another game heading over from Microsoft exclusivity to the PlayStation shores, you can now cast your nets for the full haul of Moonglow Bay trophies. Might this be another contender for our best 2 player PS5 games list?

Moonglow Bay's platinum trophy has been revealed for PS4 and PS5

The latest game to move over from Microsoft platforms to PS4 and PS5 is the adorable Moonglow Bay, a wholesome coastal twist on the "my dead relative wants me to go to an old town and fix it" trope. You fish, you make food, you somehow have the power to make improvements to the town, and you make friends with some of the cutest pixel art locals you've ever seen.

There are 38 trophies for Moonglow Bay, most of which are hidden (to reveal the details of the secret trophies, please use this link). 27 of these trophies are bronzes, then you've got 5 silvers, 5 golds, and finally there's a platinum trophy for catching the rest.

The key to Moonglow Bay trophies is to grab everything you can. Most of the golds and silvers are completion trophies, for catching every fish or renovating every building. It's not going to be a speedrun platinum, but these rewards will come gently and organically through periods of regular play. This is one for the cozy gamers who like to put their feet up and do some slow virtual living, rather than those looking for a quick and easy trophy hunt.

Some trophies also come from friendly interactions — such as becoming good friends with NPCs — and being fairly self-sustaining — such as not calling for help, or completing the game without selling any unprepared fish — so it's worth making the most of every in-game day. Here's the full list of ~~aquatic achievements~~ err, tidal trophies:

Miri's hobbies outside of gaming inform everything about their on-screen preferences: Lots of reading, irritatingly tough puzzles, and anything vaguely historical. As such, they're always on the lookout for another Disco Elysium-type read-a-thon, a Myst-like island to get lost in, or an ancient time capsule like The Forgotten City. Other than that, if anything is being described as "weird and unsettling", it's either Miri, or their new favorite indie game.
