The launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 is fast approaching, and the latest details surfacing online have completionists talking. Alongside the biggest map yet and a massive campaign, GTA 6 will feature 55 trophies at launch, surpassing everything Rockstar has put out to date and promising dozens of hours of side challenges.
More challenges than GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2
According to the latest leaks, GTA 6 will launch with 55 Trophies and Achievements (PlayStation and Xbox, respectively). Numerically, this edges out what Grand Theft Auto 5 (51 trophies) and Red Dead Redemption 2 (52 trophies) offered on day one.
While the difference might not look massive at first glance, it is clear that side activities and optional missions will carry serious weight. For context, GTA 5 eventually grew to a total of 78 trophies thanks to expansions and GTA Online content updates over the years. Expectations are high that GTA 6 will follow a similar path, with the community even holding out hope for the first single-player expansion since GTA IV.
What this means for trophy hunters
Rockstar has always put immersion in front and center, and recent statements from the developers suggest they want players to truly “live a life” inside the game. A dense map, varied side activities and hundreds of hidden details will all reflect directly in the achievement list.
For those aiming to 100% completion out of the game:
- On PlayStation: The game includes the Platinum trophy, awarded to players who unlock every other trophy in the game.
- On Xbox: Its pointed a presence of a Mythic Achievement, the new tier introduced by Xbox to recognize grueling challenges or ultimate game completionists.
The launch is just around the corner
The wait is almost over. Grand Theft Auto 6 officially launches on November 19th for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Furthermore, pre-loading became globally available today, November 10th, allowing players to download the files ahead of time and jump straight into the game the second it goes live.
I write for Need4Games, mostly keeping track of what’s coming next. I cover showcases and release updates, put together quick lists when you just want the highlights, and I’ll post Steam deal roundups when the sales get wild. I play a lot of games, so I tend to look at games through that lens. No overthinking, just: what it is, why it’s interesting, and if it’s actually worth your time. I also stream now and then on Twitch.
