The first game to implement the system is Ghost of Tsushima, where players who have earned the “Mono No Aware” Gold or “Living Legend” Platinum trophies by Dec. 31, 2025, can unlock access to a selection of limited-edition merchandise.
In addition, two commemorative Ghost of Tsushima Rewards for pre-order purchase are available today for those who have earned the specified trophies; the designs were inspired by the island of Tsushima and Jin’s legendary armor.

The featured image of this article showcases the commemorative pin, which costs $25 or €28, requiring players to complete the ultimate challenge and acquire the “Living Legend” Platinum Trophy.

Ghost of Yotei is scheduled to arrive later this year, with more opportunities for players to participate in the Franchise Rewards program. More details regarding the exclusive rewards and requirements will be shared closer to the launch.
