Replace “Perfect Games” with Platinum Trophy and New Icon

I’d like to suggest a simple but meaningful improvement to the Steam achievements system.

Currently, Steam labels games with all achievements unlocked as “Perfect Games,” and displays a generic yellow icon. I propose:

Rename “Perfect Games” to “Platinum Games” or “Platinum Trophy”

Replace the current icon with a more distinct, platinum-style trophy symbol
(to clearly indicate full completion, inspired by other platforms like PlayStation)

This would make full completion more rewarding and instantly recognizable, encouraging players to engage more with achievement hunting.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

They should add "Platinum Trophy" to the word filter so that it gets automatically filtered like all the swear words and other unsavory stuff. There's zero reason to try and mimic an inferior platform like playstation with something like this.

It's up to a person on what they find rewarding. I'll get 100% on games I find worth it, to me.

Also, some people cheat on Steam to unlock all their Achievements (Using SAM) so, would be pointless. Not knowing who actually played to unlock them and who cheated.

I didn't platinum many games on Playstation or Xbox. I'm glad I got the platinum trophies for Days Gone and Cyberpunk 2077 on the PS4 though.

What difference would it actually make, to rename Perfect Games to Platinum Games, to me that makes zero sense, also Platinum Trophy is a PlayStation thing, so not everyone is going to recognize that

If you have all achievements it is a perfect game and you get the ribbon icon and a showcase to display those perfect games. Secondly achievements are not labelled bronze, silver, gold like on Playstation so platinum has zero relevance.

I'd like a bigger focus on achievements overall without copying off PlayStation

I prefer it the way it is and don’t want steam to start copying console terms like platinum trophy.

Does it really matter whether you "perfect" a game, "plat" a game (which is a bit different), "1k" a game or "100%" a game?

Platinum Trophy is Sony play stations name for achievements

Platinum Games is also a small Japanese indie game studio known in the scene for such obscure titles as Bayonetta or Nier: Automata.
Point?

Unfortunately, the ability to cheat achievements, in a variety of ways, makes them more of a personal goal and not something that should need outside validation.

Besides, Valve only gave us achievements to get people to stop asking for them, and they only did the bare minimum. Other than adding a completionist showcase they really haven't done anything else with them.

They did quite a lot for them, especially since the steam deck came out.

They've added sound, animations when they pop, animations in the client. The achievements are also integrated into the overlay. Then you also see the progress for achievments.

lmao, steam should stick with being a pc focused, internet store instead of emulating overly simple console storefronts

Except for the sound effect, those already existed when Valve created achievements. Even seeing achievement progress was there in the beginning, assuming the developer set it up properly.

No thanks. This is the PC platform, not the Kiddie Konsole platform. The platinum garbage can stay there, where it belongs.

Wouldn't that be Scamtendo? I mean, Nintendo and not Playstation.

Calling it “Kiddie Konsole” just because the idea exists on PlayStation doesn’t make much sense.

Achievements have been part of PC gaming for years — on Steam, GOG, even Xbox for PC.

Wanting a clearer way to show 100% completion isn’t “console behavior,” it’s just organizing what already exists.

If you don’t like the idea, that’s fine but dismissing it as “garbage” only shows bias, not an argument.

Fair point — I’m not saying the name has to be “Platinum Trophy” specifically. It could be “Mastered,” “Elite,” “100% Complete” — anything more distinctive than “Perfect Game.”

The idea isn’t just about a rename. It’s about making full completion easier to spot and giving it a proper visual identity.
