Achievements & Trophies

Grand Theft Auto V launched in September 2013 with a base console set of 50 achievements / trophies (1,000 Gamerscore on Xbox, with the full bronze-silver-gold distribution and a platinum on PlayStation). The Enhanced Edition (PS4, Xbox One, PC) added a second batch in late 2014 covering the new first-person mode, the Rockstar Editor and the Director Mode actor system. The version covered on this wiki is the 44-entry combined list — the achievements most modern players have access to on current platforms.

The largest cluster is the heist set — one trophy per major heist, including Diamond Hard, Subversive, Blitzed, Small Town, Big Job, The Government Gimps and the final The Big One!. The 5 story-progress trophies track Franklin's, Michael's and Trevor's arcs: Welcome to Los Santos kicks the game off, and To Live or Die in Los Santos covers all three of the final mission branches.

Long-haul completionists target Career Criminal (100% game completion), Solid Gold, Baby! (70 mission gold medals) and Multi-Disciplined (gold in all hobbies — golf, tennis, darts, shooting range, triathlon and the rest). The collectibles set contributes From Beyond the Stars (the spaceship parts), A Mystery, Solved (the letter scraps) and Waste Management (the 30 nuclear-waste pieces dropped on the ocean floor — see the collectibles hub). The Cryptozoologist trophy added in the Enhanced Edition requires unlocking every peyote-plant animal.

The PlayStation platinum is Los Santos Legend — automatic on PS3/PS4 once every other trophy is unlocked. The 10-trophy Enhanced Edition / Rockstar Editor set is more meta: it rewards using the in-game movie tools (Vinewood Visionary, Majestic), unlocking every actor available in Director Mode (Humans of Los Santos, Ensemble Piece, Animal Lover) and doing some intentionally goofy combinations like Cult Movie — entering Director Mode as Cris Formage, the leader of the Epsilon Program.

Worth noting: using cheat codes disables achievements and trophies for the rest of that save session. Save the game while a cheat is active and the save file carries the disabled flag forever. Most achievement hunters keep a separate "cheats" save file specifically to avoid this trap. For full collectible-and-mission walkthroughs check the missions hub and the collectibles hub.
