GTA 6 Achievements & Trophies: What to Expect

GTA 6’s achievement/trophy list will be one of the most anticipated 100% completion challenges in gaming. Rockstar has a history of demanding but fair achievement design — GTA V had 77 achievements totaling 1500 Gamerscore. GTA 6 will likely match or exceed this. Here’s what to expect.

Expected achievement structure

Story-based

  • Complete each major story chapter
  • Finish the campaign
  • Special protagonist-specific story milestones (one for Jason’s arc, one for Lucia’s)

Side content

  • Complete all side missions
  • Buy all properties / businesses
  • Customize a maximum-spec vehicle
  • Visit every Vice City landmark

Skill-based

  • Complete a heist without being detected
  • Reach max wanted level and escape
  • Win at every casino game
  • Complete races without crashing

Exploration

  • Find all collectibles (the modern equivalent of hidden packages)
  • Discover all Easter eggs
  • Photograph all wildlife species
  • Catch all fish species

Social / online

GTA 6 Online will likely have separate trophies for online activities — clan/crew formation, multiplayer wins, online ranks.

Total trophy count estimate

  • Story: 30-40 achievements
  • Side content: 20-30 achievements
  • Online: 20-30 achievements
  • Total estimate: 70-100 achievements

The Platinum challenge

PlayStation Platinum trophies require ALL other trophies. Based on GTA V (only 0.5% of players earned it), GTA 6’s Platinum will likely be a 100-200 hour challenge. Notoriously difficult achievements often include:

  • “Complete the game with 100%” — every collectible, side mission, activity
  • Speed-running specific missions
  • Multi-player coordination achievements
  • Maintaining stats (no deaths, no busts, etc.)

Cheat code warning

Both GTA V and RDR2 disabled trophy progress on saves where cheats were activated. Rockstar will continue this pattern. Do not use cheats if you want trophies. See our GTA 6 cheat codes guide for details.

Platform differences

  • PlayStation 5: Trophy system, Platinum available
  • Xbox Series X|S: Gamerscore system, no equivalent of Platinum
  • Steam (PC): Steam achievements, no Platinum equivalent

For PC players

Steam achievements will arrive with the PC version (12-24 months after console launch). Trophy hunters on console will have finished long before PC achievement hunters even start. See our PC release date analysis.
