PS4 / PS5
The Third Remastered keeps Steelport’s wild choices, but story decisions and challenge conditions deserve planning before total conquest. Keep saves before branches, inspect Saintsbook targets and register special vehicles while available. The remaster removed the old online character-upload requirement. Do not use that PS3 trophy to declare this edition blocked. Focus on the selected PS4 or PS5 list’s actual requirements.
Base-game platinum roadmap for PS4, PS5. Additional trophy groups are separate.
- Required difficulty: No specific difficulty required.
- Missable trophies: Keep branch saves and complete specific-target challenges early.
- Online: The Remastered list does not require the old PS3 character upload.
Save before story decisions
Tower Defense and Kuh, Boom. represent different outcomes of an early-act branch. Preserve an earlier save and verify both rather than assuming every mission can be freely replayed. Check both ending entries too. One narrative ending does not unlock both.
- Confirm trophies for both branch outcomes.
Work on Saintsbook before total control
You’re My Hero! requires every challenge. Before removing gang presence, check taunts, kills and actions needing particular enemies. Complete these while targets appear naturally rather than recreating them after full control. Track vehicle-theft and assassination requests too.
- Check enemy challenges before final conquests.
Keep useful special vehicles
When a military vehicle needed for requests appears, consider saving it in the garage before the story ends. Vehicles are not merely cosmetic purchases; some serve Saintsbook conditions. Read the required model and keep the correct one rather than assuming a similar vehicle qualifies.
- Register the useful model while the opportunity exists.
Complete activities and collections by district
Takeover activities, properties and collections contribute to different requirements. Check each district before the final overview and use collectible upgrades to limit searching. Unlocking a property does not mean its area’s activities are complete. Compare the panel with the required list.
- Check activities and collections separately.
Track time and separate DLC groups
Third and 30 checks time spent in Steelport. Finish useful activities first and inspect the counter rather than waiting prematurely. Genki Bowl, Gangstas in Space and Trouble With Clones add trophies. Preserve saves for their specific actions without mixing them into the base-platinum check.
- Check time after required activities.
