EA Sports WRC PS5 platinum guide

PS5

The EA Sports WRC platinum uses three different network features: a Club event, an online rally in Estonia and a downloaded Time Trial ghost. Check them before committing to the 1,600 km. Then use Career for the WRC world title, Championship mode for the podium streak and Quick Play for the historic car challenges. Sardegna needs a regularity rally; Portugal checks your engine damage before the start.

Codemasters' PS5 base game, with 27 trophies. The Store may show EA SPORTS WRC 24 branding; this guide follows the 2023 game's list.

Difficulty: No AI setting is specified; regularity, Moments and ghosts have their own targets.
Missable trophies: The podium streak must cover every event in one Championship season. Individual events can be set up again.
Connectivity: Online Quick Play with PS Plus, a Racenet Club event and a leaderboard ghost download.

Racenet: join a Club and finish an open event

Open EA Racenet with the same EA account you use on PS5, visit the EA Sports WRC Clubs section and find a club with an open event. Pick base-game content, then open Clubs in the game and select the club you joined. Complete every stage of that event before the deadline and check that the result appears. Other entrants do not have to be online at the same time in an asynchronous event.

Check the deadline, required content and event result for Driver's Alliance.

Online Estonia and a downloaded Time Trial ghost

For E-stonia, enter Quick Play Online and choose a Rally Estonia event. Try a lobby with another driver and a short rally, but stay through the result. In Time Trial on a familiar stage, set a conservative first time. Then download a leaderboard ghost slower than your usual pace and beat it. One successful attempt can also improve your personal best.

Unlock Estonia in multiplayer and use a downloaded ghost for Ghost Buster.

Win the WRC title and podium every Championship event

Complete a Rally School lesson, then create a Career team and aim for the WRC class title. WRC2 and Junior titles are not substitutes for the WRC championship. In a separate Championship mode season, finish in the top three in every event; the final season standings alone do not count. Use the difficulty options and take the opportunity to finish a stage in each of WRC, WRC2 and Junior WRC.

Career title, podiums in Championship mode and one stage per class.

Sardegna regularity and three historic pairings

Create a Sardegna regularity event in Quick Play using the H3 RWD Lancia Stratos. Use the timing references to maintain the target pace, and aim for zero penalties on one stage as well as the event win. Then set up single events: a Monte-Carlo podium in the MINI Cooper S, a Sweden win in the Citroën Xsara WRC and an Iberia win in the 1995 SUBARU Impreza.

Check the regularity event win and the zero-penalty stage separately.

Handle opposite damage goals in Portugal and Mexico

For Portugal, set up multiple stages and turn on hardcore damage. Damage the radiator in shakedown and leave it unrepaired while keeping the car driveable. The engine can deteriorate over the early stages: check the service report and leave it unrepaired once it shows heavy damage. Win the stage you start in that condition. In Mexico, do the opposite: finish the event with a safety margin and no severe mechanical damage.

Before starting the Portugal stage, confirm the heavy damage applies to the engine, not only the radiator.

Five golds, the Builder and final mileage

Pick five Moments available in the base game and target gold rather than simply clearing them. Build five cars in the Builder, then take one of your creations, apply a custom livery and finish on the podium in a Custom Championship. For distance, first complete the 160 km thresholds on asphalt, gravel or dirt, and snow. Save any remaining overall mileage for after the other objectives have contributed to the 1,600 km.

Check gold on five Moments and verify the Builder car's livery before the Custom Championship.

Trophies to watch

Use Championship mode and check for a podium after every event in the same season.

Ghost Buster

Algarve it a go!

Win a stage at Vodafone Rally de Portugal that you started with heavy engine damage.

Check the service report: the engine must already be heavily damaged when you start the stage you win.

E-stonia

Driver's Alliance

Complete a Clubs or Esports event at any location.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need 2024 season content for the platinum?

No. Use events, cars and Moments available in the base game. If a Club event requires a pack you do not have, choose another. WRC 24 branding in the Store does not change this checklist.

Are Racenet Clubs the same as Quick Play Online?

No. In Clubs, you race inside a window and submit a result to an asynchronous leaderboard. For E-stonia, look for Rally Estonia inside Quick Play Online instead.

Do the 1,600 km have to come from Career?

No. Use the distance already covered across modes. If a surface trophy is missing, repeat stages on that surface before grinding total distance: Sweden is a practical choice for snow.
