Hey guys! Ready to dive back into the nostalgia of San Andreas with a fresh trophy hunt on your PS5? This guide will walk you through every single trophy, offering tips and tricks to help you snag that coveted platinum. Let's get started!

Getting Started with Your San Andreas Trophy Journey

Before we jump into the nitty-gritty, let's talk strategy. San Andreas is a massive game, and trophy hunting can feel overwhelming if you don't have a plan. First things first, decide whether you want to enjoy the story first or if you're going to beeline for specific trophies. Either approach is fine, but knowing your preference will save you time and stress. Many trophies are naturally unlocked through story progression, so a casual playthrough can knock out a significant chunk. However, some trophies require specific actions or conditions that you might miss if you're not paying attention. Keep this guide handy and check it periodically to make sure you're on track.

Pay attention to missable trophies! There are a few trophies that can become unobtainable if you progress too far in the story without completing them. These will be clearly marked in the guide. Also, consider the difficulty setting. While the game isn't overly challenging, some missions can be frustrating on higher difficulties. Feel free to adjust the difficulty as needed – it won't affect trophy eligibility. Finally, take advantage of the PS5's features. Use the Activity Cards to track your progress on specific trophies and watch gameplay videos for tricky challenges. The PS5's fast loading times also make retrying missions a breeze, so don't be afraid to experiment and learn from your mistakes.

Story-Related Trophies

These trophies will unlock automatically as you progress through the main story. You can't miss them unless you intentionally avoid doing the missions. So, sit back, enjoy the ride, and watch those trophies pop!
