Trophies & Achievements — GTA 6 Wiki

How to Plan Your GTA 6 Trophy & Achievement Hunt

Trophies on PlayStation and achievements on Xbox/PC for Grand Theft Auto VI follow the same completion logic as most modern open-world games, but the exact names and unlock conditions are community-reported and may change in day-one patches. Use the steps below as a planning framework so nothing slips past you, then verify final wording in-game on your platform once the game ships.

Know Which List You Are Working On

Trophy and achievement lists are platform-specific: PlayStation uses the platinum/bronze/silver/gold tiers, while Xbox and PC use the 1000G score system. Community trackers group the entries the same way across platforms:

• Story content — the main missions that carry you through Leonida.
• Open-world activities — races, strangers and freaks, and business ventures.
• Collectibles — the scattered pickups that feed into 100% completion.
• Optional content — side objectives that often hide the hardest unlocks.

Because the list is not officially finalized, treat any published list as a working draft. Cross-check a community “grand theft auto vi achievements” tracker and a “grand theft auto villains wiki” if you need character context for a specific mission-gated unlock, since some entries reference story beats and named antagonists.

Prioritize Story Trophies on Your First Run

Most of the “easy” unlocks arrive automatically as you play the campaign, so there is little reason to chase them deliberately on a first pass. Focus on finishing the story, keep notes on which missions felt like they had branching choices, and revisit those missions later for the stricter conditions.

The very first entry in most lists is a prologue-completion trophy, described in community data as “Welcome to Leonida” (Bronze) — completing the prologue. That one is effectively unmissable if you finish the opening chapter.

Protect Missable Trophies With Rolling Saves

This is the single most important habit for a clean completion run. Community notes flag that some trophies depend on:

• Mission gold medals — the strict per-mission scoring conditions.
• Branching dialogue — choices that lock out one outcome in favor of another.
• One-time set-pieces — scripted moments you cannot replay freely.

When in doubt, keep a rolling hard save before every major story beat. That way, if a branching mission hands you the “wrong” result, you can reload instead of starting a second playthrough. Mission pages such as the Prologue and The Big Score are worth consulting for branching notes before you commit.

Plan for the 100% Completion Platinum

Expect at least one platinum-style completion trophy tied to 100% game completion, plus several tied to optional content. Community data lists this as “State of Completion” (Gold) — attain 100% game completion — alongside a Platinum / 1000G entry that unlocks when you earn every other trophy or achievement on that platform.

Because the 100% trophy is the long pole, treat it as the backbone of your plan and work backwards: list every collectible set, race series, and business you still need, then schedule cleanup sessions after the credits roll.

Check Difficulty and Assist Settings First

Many entries reportedly allow difficulty selection and assists without voiding achievements. This is community-reported rather than officially confirmed, so confirm it in-game on your platform before you commit to a setting — some games silently disable progression if assists are active.

Online-tied trophies, if any exist, are expected to be listed separately once the multiplayer mode is detailed. If you care about a full platinum, watch for those entries appearing later.

Clean Up Open-World and Collectible Trophies

Once the story is done, the remainder of the list is a checklist grind. Work through it by category rather than by location, since grouping similar tasks saves travel time:

• Collectibles — playing cards, letter scraps, and stash boxes.
• Street racing — the race series that usually has its own trophy.
• Strangers and freaks — optional character missions.
• Businesses — the ventures that often gate a completion trophy.

Pair this cleanup with the collectible heatmap so you are not criss-crossing the map twice.
