PS4 / PS5
The PS4 and PS5 editions of Red Dead Redemption include Undead Nightmare in their trophy requirements. Plan John’s main campaign and the zombie adventure as separate completion routes. Secure the horse trophy early, then combine story, challenges and side activities. This guide covers the modern editions; requirements from the PS3 multiplayer list do not belong here. Include Undead Nightmare when checking the modern list, while recognising that the old PS3 multiplayer requirements do not describe these later PlayStation editions.
PS4 and PS5 list roadmap: Undead Nightmare is included in the platinum. The different PS3 multiplayer list is excluded.
- Required difficulty: No specific difficulty is required; cheats disable trophies.
- Missable trophies: Spurred to Victory requires attention during story missions.
- Online: The PS4 and PS5 lists covered here are offline.
Choose a horse and protect the mission streak
Spurred to Victory asks for twenty story missions without switching to a new horse at a hitching post. Choose a mount early and retain saves between missions; do not let a fall or predator silently disrupt the plan. Dismount away from combat. Leave taming other breeds until after the unlock so the streak remains easy to audit.
- Keep the same horse until the trophy unlocks.
Use the 100% statistic as an index
Required completion is not every icon you have ever seen: compare the statistic’s categories with unfinished story and side objectives. When travelling for a Stranger task, inspect ambient challenges in the same region. If a category appears stuck, verify its exact condition before repeating generic activities. Mark turn-ins, hideouts and qualifying purchases already counted.
- Compare Redeemed against the completion statistic rather than memory.
Separate minigames from weapon counters
Poker, dice and horseshoes require specific results: record the qualifying outcome rather than any win. For combat, distinguish mounted weapons, handguns and long guns. If only one counter remains after the story, dedicate a session to that family instead of repeating the route. Some counters also accept Undead Nightmare kills, so read the requirement before starting an unnecessary grind.
- Check weapon type and the exact minigame outcome.
Open a separate Undead Nightmare checklist
In the modern editions, its 100% and required challenges are part of the platinum route. Track survivor missions, challenges and territories separately from the main campaign. Towns can come under attack again: Spinning Plates needs a simultaneous state, so plan a rescue circuit instead of assuming that having cleared each once automatically qualifies.
- Complete zombie 100% and arrange every town saved simultaneously.
Distinguish a new platinum from save transfer
Check PS4 and PS5 as separate lists even when their gameplay routes are similar. An imported save does not guarantee every trophy appears upon loading: some conditions need to be triggered again. Before removing the older version, inspect what has actually unlocked on the new list. When starting fresh, avoid cheats and treat both campaigns as part of the same hunt.
- Verify unlocks on the chosen console after any save transfer.

Frequently asked questions
Is Undead Nightmare optional for platinum?
Not on the modern PS4 and PS5 lists: its requirements are included in the main list. PS3 used a different structure.
Is online play required?
Not for the PS4 and PS5 editions in this guide. Do not apply multiplayer trophies from the older PS3 list.
Does a PS4 save automatically unlock every PS5 trophy?
Do not assume it does: transferred progress may require actions that retrigger conditions. Inspect the new list before deleting data.
