PlayStation Vita: Getting Around the “Locked Trophies” Problem for Used Games

If you love purchasing pre-owned games, you’ll most likely encounter this problem when you put your used game into your Vita. Since you’re not the first player, the trophies will be locked. This meaning you won’t be able to get any trophies! While that may sound annoying, there’s a way around it so its hardly “locked”.

To obtain trophies on your pre-owned Vita game, you will need to start by deleting the game data. I’m talking about the data on your home screen. To do this, hold the game icon until you see an elipses around the bubble. Tap it and you’ll see the option to delete it. Once it’s deleted, re-insert the game card and it will do a fresh install. After this the trophies will be usable and you will never encounter the problem every again.
