Question on Instant Platinums

[Sendai-Horatio]

If you have multiple instant platinums from brining over your ps4 data to your PS5 does the first instapop stay as your fastest time or can it be overwritten if you have a second instant platinum with the same completion time at a later date?

The older dates would be what stays.

How do instapops work? Does the game scan all requirements individually and pop them one after the other? Or does it check prior trophies and pop them all together? 

 

For example, does it take a couple of seconds for game A with 40 trophies, making that your fastest platinum?

 

Does it take one second or less for game B with 15 trophies, making that game your fastest platinum afterwards?

Depends, but reading the save file's variable values usually happens instantly because the computation speed for this is very fast, you will have them in 0 or 1 second. However, if there are different triggers, online profile checks, then you might have delays.

 

My Ghost of Tsushima instapop was 5 minutes because I waited for the notifications even though they popped instantly on paper, but the photo mode trophy was missing, most likely because I didn't save after doing it on PS4, or some other reason.
