American Arcadia Platinum Trophy Guide (PS5 and PS4)

PS4 / PS5

American Arcadia reached PS4 and PS5 in 2025 after its PC release. The story alternates Trevor’s escape with Angela’s sections, and many trophy actions happen when you can pause and inspect a scene. Watch for all three cat visits and, in the tower, look for the optional passage before using the USB drive.

Scene-by-scene optional actions and trophy name differences between PS4 and PS5.

Editions: Separate PS4 and PS5 lists with some different names
Difficulty: No difficulty requirement in the trophy list
Missables: Scene actions; three interactions for Crazy Cat Lady
Online: No multiplayer trophies

Wait for Trevor and check Gene’s computer

In the prologue, leave the alarm ringing without pressing anything until Trevor gets up on his own for Overexplanation. When you control Angela in the server room, check Gene’s computer after acquiring admin access for DunGene’s and Dragons. In the studio with the large screen, stay after the break starts and wait for Vivian to return for Destination: Nowhere.

Let the alarm run without skipping the scene.

Find the key and cross without cameras

After the ride, check the luggage-room lockers for the key for Meta-Reference. In the hotel room, switch on the bathroom light and block the robot with the cart. After taking the badge, free it and return to the luggage for Wrong Tourist. On the highway, cross the second half by watching traffic directly without using Angela’s camera for Frogger.

Visit the cat in Angela’s three scenes

Interact with the cat near the couch in scene 13. In scene 16, first shut down the PC and monitors, hide documents and posters, and open the door to Kendra before she lets herself in. After her visit, look for the cat on the bed. In scene 20, find her on the cat tree under the stairs. Do all three interactions in order on one run and advance to the next checkpoint after each.

Use the drones at Hexagon

Before solving the access puzzle for the Pentagon level, watch the video on the Operations laptop for Dear Old Pals. During the escape, when Angela controls the drones, stun all six interceptors for TPK. Track three inside, two outside and one in the final small room. If you die and restart the scene, count from the beginning; the earlier interceptors return.

Watch the video before the Pentagon puzzle.

Disobey Number Six and find the tower vent

In Realignment, keep pressing the hexagon button along the corridor after Number Six tells you to stop. In the white Visi-o-Rama area, switch to cameras to see Trevor in the car. Finally, after the tower elevator and before inserting the USB drive, turn around and crawl through the vent on the right for Masterplan. Then finish the story for Stalemate.

Activate the button after the warning.
Take the vent before inserting the USB drive.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the platinum name differ on PS4 and PS5?

They are separate native lists. PS5 uses Turn it off, Ange and PS4 uses American Platinum. The Chapter 4 and 5 completion trophies also have different names but the same tasks.

Can I revisit a scene for a missed trophy?

Use Scene Selection if it appears in your completed game menu. For Crazy Cat Lady, the safer route is to start at the first visit and continue through the third, letting the game save after each interaction.

Does Masterplan unlock from the normal ending?

No. You must enter the control-room vent before using the USB drive. Stalemate is the separate story clear trophy.
