Concord is a game that has made history in its own way. It currently lies dead and many believe it unlikely that we will hear about it again in the future, although you never know. However, before the cancellation, some players played for hours and hours to try to get the platinum trophy, ironically called “Living Legend”. 69 people managed to do so.

When Sony and developer Firewalk announced that Concord would be taking offline while they searched for the “best path forward” for its future, some players realized they were in for a chance to unlock one of the rarest platinum trophies ever. Unfortunately for them, they only had a few days to do so.
The spectacle of the attempts was apparently surreal. Players entered the servers to launch themselves off the map, in order to grind out experience points faster and reach level 50, which is necessary to unlock the trophy.
The servers were shut down on Friday night, but someone made it: PSN Profiles counted 69 Concord platinum trophies unlocked. It should be noted that PSN Profiles’ counts may not be entirely accurate, as the site itself specifies, but the margin of error should be very small.
Generally speaking, Concord’s is not the rarest platinum trophy ever, as there are around 6,000 games platinumed by fewer than 70 players. However, we are talking about much older and smaller games, certainly not AAA exclusives developed by first-party PlayStations. Furthermore, many of these have not been removed from sale and are therefore still platinumable. Concord’s platinum count is instead destined to remain fixed for eternity, with the profiles of players who boast the trophy becoming legend. But also not.
