Raptr adding support for PlayStation 3 Trophies
Raptr put a call out to its community today to help them test its social gaming technology with the PlayStation Network. In an interview with Crispy Gamer, Raptr CEO Dennis Fong had said that the company would add support for PSN game tracking as soon as Sony open up the system to allow for data sharing. That has happen with the latest PS3 update and Raptr has already deployed an alphas version of the PSN tracking software. Here’s more from the official Raptr page:
We’ve been saying all along that when PSN opens up their data, we’ll support it. Well, they finally did it! PSN released a new update on Thursday that shows off the trophies you’ve earned. 24 hours later, we’re happy to announce that we have an alpha version of our PSN integration working and we’d like you to help us test it!
Since we’re just testing, we’ve only enabled it for newly added PSN IDs to Raptr. If you’ve previously added your PSN ID to Raptr and you want to try it out now, you will need to go to your Account Settings > Identities page and re-add your PSN ID (Make sure you click “Save”). If you haven’t signed up for Raptr yet, simply create an account and add your PSN ID to your Identities.
After you’ve entered your PSN ID, Raptr will automatically add your Playstation 3 games and Trophies you’ve earned to your Raptr profile (Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your data to sync up as playstation.com is running a little slow right now). When you’ve earned a new PSN trophy (or when you’re done playing), go to your XMB and view your trophies. That will sync your PS3 with playstation.com and update your trophies.
Raptr will automatically detect and announce your newly earned trophies to Raptr as well as any external accounts you’ve bound (Twitter, Facebook, etc.).
We’ve been working hard to get this out there as we know you guys have been eager to see PSN integration on Raptr :-). We hope you enjoy it and please give us feedback on our forums on how we can improve upon it!
So if you are a Raptr user and want to show off your PS3 trophies, go change your account settings now.
