Doom: The Dark Ages Finally Smashes That Annoying PS5 Trophy Bug
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
A PS5 trophy bug in *Doom: The Dark Ages* that prevented players from unlocking the 'Berserker' trophy has finally been fixed, although some players are a bit bummed about how the trophy was just given to them after the update. Now get back to ripping and tearing!
Right, listen up, Doom slayers! It seems Bethesda's been wrestling with a particularly grumpy demon – a bug in the PS5 version of *Doom: The Dark Ages* that was stopping players from unlocking the 'Berserker' trophy. And, let's be honest, what's Doom without going full Berserker, eh?
According to Game Rant, this gremlin's been causing headaches since the game launched back on May 15th. That's nearly two months of trophy-hunting frustration! The first update on June 5th was supposed to squash it, but like a stubborn imp, it just kept popping back up for some unlucky players. Bloody hell, talk about annoying.
Now, I know what you're thinking: “Trophies? Who cares?” But for some of us completionists (myself included, I confess!), chasing that Platinum is half the fun. It's like the final boss battle of dedication. You put in the time, you earn the reward, and you bask in the digital glory. But what happens when the game decides to be a right pill and not hand over the goods?
Well, Bethesda has finally rolled out a hotfix specifically for the PS5 version, and players are reporting success! Apparently, booting up the game after the update triggers the long-awaited trophy and, for many, unlocks that sweet, sweet Platinum. Huzzah!
But here's where it gets a bit… bittersweet. Some players are a bit miffed (and rightly so!) that the trophy just *appeared* after all this time. As one player griped, the thrill of earning it was kinda… deflated. It’s like slaying the final boss and the treasure chest just teleports into your inventory. Where's the satisfaction in that? Still, better late than never, I reckon.
*Doom: The Dark Ages* has been a roaring success, pulling in three million players in its first week and racking up a solid 95% recommendation on OpenCritic. So, it's a shame this little trophy hiccup has been casting a shadow. But hopefully, with this fix in place, everyone can get back to ripping and tearing… and finally earning that well-deserved digital bling.
