You’ve probably already heard the news: this coming Monday, October 27th, there will be an update made available on the PlayStation Network to unlock the entire Trophy system for Grand Theft Auto IV on PLAYSTATION 3.
Rockstar Games asked that I share a bit more info with you.
Make sure to download and install the update before playing in order to start attaining Trophies. There will be 51 total trophies, broken down by four different levels: bronze, silver, gold and platinum – all contributing to your overall experience level on your PlayStation Network profile.
Among the 51 trophies to be released Monday, look for:
One Man Army – only those that are wily enough to survive a 6-star wanted level for a full 5 minutes will be rewarded with this one.
Dare Devil – an award for those who find and execute all of the Unique Stunt Jumps throughout Liberty City.
Chain Reaction – an Achievement for those who can pull off blowing up 10 vehicles in 10 seconds or less.
Liberty City Minute – for those that have completed the game story in less than 30 hours. As the Social Club’s Story Club leaderboard can attest, this is not an easy feat.
Look for detailed information on all 51 trophies to be revealed at www.rockstargames.com/IV/multiplayer this Monday when the PLAYSTATION Network update goes live.
See you back on the streets of Liberty City this Monday!
awesome news
Nice!
Please add custom in-game music! GTA4 needs this patch.
Awesome, cant wait to collect all the Trophies.
Thank you.
Kick ass, too bad it’s on a Monday though! If it were today I could get a lot of those done this weekend. Now I’ve got the R2 beta this weekend, then LBP next week! :D Lots to do on my PS3, and a great reason to re-do GTA IV’s storyline differently, with [name] surviving this time!
Yay! Although, it sounds like I gotta start the whole game over again, lol.
It’s cool though, just wish that exclusive 360 DLC wasn’t exclusive… we want more GTA4, too! I paid $60 just as the 360 owners did…
I know this is a longshot but… retroactive?
Are these Trophies retroactive or do I have to start the game over?
Thats good to know, wasn’t sure when these would come out.
Yea, ingame soundtrack + our DLC would be great too.
Thanks for the update Jeff!
Do you know if we will have to delete our saved game files and create a new profile, in order to get the trophies?
Are some to the trophies retroactive or will we have a regain everything?
Finaly
The trophies are not retroactive. Let me find my source again….
Has Rockstar mentioned whether this patch will also fix any of the long-standing bugs? For instance, the “game start” countdown in multiplayer often stops at 1 and the game never begins. Also my headset stops working after an hour! My friends have all been having that same issue since FW 2.40.
No word on retro, but it seems that it would be an easier fit than for some other games, because GTA has always done a good job of keeping track of unique stats in the player profile. Might just be a lateral move. It also sounds like (from the examples) that the trophies might be situational, not mission-based, so no matter where you are in the game,you can rack up a 6-star or set off a chain reaction. And as far as the Wrecks-Box’s lauded DLC….um….haven’t heard too much about it…. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
seems that if the Social Club site can link with your PSN ID then the trophies should be able to unlock the same way off those stats. At least i’m hoping.

There we go… NOT retroactive. Sorry PSBlog, hope I didn’t break any rules by posting a link.
At any rate, I stopped at about 35 percent through, this is the reason I needed to start playing again! Fallout…LittleBigPlanet…Resistance 2.. Haven’t played Bioshock yet either, oh man! I’m gonna have to quit my job to stay caught up!
Not at all, thanks for that.
