Back to the Future: The Game

PS3 / PS4

One pass per episode can be enough, but the story often moves you out of a room before you have finished its optional interactions. Keep one save per episode and a spare before puzzles that track mistakes or count visits. Before the ending, compare your unlocks with the list for your console.

The five-episode PS3 disc (2011) and PS4 30th Anniversary Edition (2015) each have a 60-trophy list. The separate PS3 PSN episodes have no platinum.

  • Console and format: PS3: disc compilation; PS4: 30th Anniversary Edition.
  • Online: No online trophy requirements.
  • Planning: Five episodes; check missables before advancing a scene.

It’s About Time: reenact the experiment

At the start, while Doc reenacts the DeLorean test, ask about Einstein first and then about his choice of car: Deja Marty rewards the correct reenactment. In the lab, use the machine Emmett calls for instead of memorising a fixed sequence. His father interrupts partway through, so distinguish their voices. Reload before the scene ends if you get an instruction wrong.

  • Listen to Doc’s explanations and the optional conversations around town.

Get Tannen!: ignore the answer sheet

Save before approaching the speakeasy’s back door. For Door Prize, listen for the final sound of each question and choose the reply beginning with that sound, without using the answer sheet in the game. Inside, select the songs yourself from the sheet music; songs triggered by the story do not replace those choices. Do not leave the six-jump encounter until the episode has ended.

  • Check the password trophy before heading into the final confrontation.

Citizen Brown: collect every demerit

Before entering Hill Valley, use the tire iron on the gate. You lose the chance once inside. In town, interact with the guard shack, squawk box and statue; return after the argument if the statue is unavailable. The other three demerits come through the story. Listen to the tourist recordings and examine the contraband containers in the speakeasy before leaving.

  • Mark the gate first, before using the DeLorean wheel to enter.

Double Visions: plan one early lab visit

Timely Traveller allows only one voluntary lab visit before the automatic return. In that visit collect the oil can, bottle and album, complete the mind map, ask Emmett about his future and offer him an algae cake. Finish the remaining errands outside. When you get Trixie’s postcard, inspect it in your inventory before handing it over; showing it straight to Edna skips the required interaction.

  • Do not re-enter for a forgotten item; use the earlier save instead.

OUTATIME: finish the Expo’s optional activities

Keep the recorder handy and use it on the people at the Expo before closing that sequence; interact with the exhibits as well. Save before the glass house: you can work through its rooms for No Backups, but do not go back upstairs during the successful attempt. In the saloon, count trips to the upper floor and bring the items you need before making your second ascent.

  • Check recordings, phone calls and the limited-trip puzzles before returning home.

Trophies to watch

Fuel Master

Flawlessly mixed up a batch of Emmett's Rocket Fuel.

Door Prize

Break the password code without cheating.

Match the question’s ending sound to the start of the answer without checking the sheet.

One Bad Apple

Collect every Demerit in the game.

Seek four optional demerits, starting with the gate; three come from the story.

Take the fewest possible trips to Emmett's lab.

Complete the item collection, mind map and conversations in your first visit.

Two-Up

Solve the saloon puzzle with no more than two trips to the second floor.

Save before the puzzle and count every trip upstairs.

Frequently asked questions

Do all PS3 episodes have a platinum?

No. The original digital release has a list per episode without a platinum; the disc uses a single list.

Can I recover a skipped action?

Load a save from before the transition or replay the episode that contains the trophy.

Do the two editions have different objectives?

The two 60-trophy lists share the same objectives; Fuel Master is spelled differently on PS3.
