Rugby 22 platinum guide: Career and missions on PS4 and PS5

PS4 / PS5

The Rugby 22 route spans three menus: League for competitions, Career for the World Cup and promotion, and Quick Match for specific plays. Open My Missions first and choose a grid without online requirements so that early matches also count towards Completionist.

28 base trophies in each native version. Some grid missions offer online play, but only one grid is needed and a solo route exists.

Difficulty: You can play on Amateur; no trophy requires a higher difficulty.
Online: Skip the grid with a multiplayer mission and concentrate on a fully offline grid.
Progression: The two lists have matching requirements; track PS4 and PS5 separately.

Open a grid and pick missions you can combine

Go into My Missions and compare the four pages of 25 squares. Completionist takes one full page, not 25 scattered squares. Pick one without online tasks and prioritise objectives that you can complete during Career or League. A square can have several conditions: reread every item and check that it was marked complete, especially if a counter seems stuck.

Note the chosen page and stay on it during cleanup.

Reach Elite and enter the optional World Cup

Start Career, train a player and use rewards to buy a player card and upgrade staff. Win D3 Gaul to reach D2, then look for the optional World Championship tournament in the calendar. Enter it and follow it to the end. Keep earning promotion through D1 to Elite; winning a standalone league does not replace Career promotion.

Check the World Cup trophy after the last fixture on the season calendar.

Win the four leagues from the League menu

Keep a row each for Top 14, United Rugby Championship, Premier League and Pro D2. Pick a strong team in each competition and check the table before simulating a match. If the title is at risk or a decisive result is uncertain, play the fixture. Also set up a season in which one of your players stays top for points, checking the individual statistics.

Count the trophy after the tournament ends, not when you briefly take the lead.

Set up specific scorelines in Quick Match

Use longer halves to set up two separate matches: one for coming back from 14 points down, and one for staying level or close before a drop goal in the last ten minutes. For a win without a try, build your score with kicks rather than crossing the line. Use a dedicated fixture for the three-player line-out and scrums so that a single mistake does not spoil several objectives.

Do not score a try in the no-try attempt, even after taking the lead.

Finish perfect training and unusual plays

Open a team training drill in Career and complete all inputs without an error; if the trophy does not register from the general menu, try it there instead. For a try after a grubber, kick low into a space you can reach before the defender. For the five-metre turnover, bring the opposing side close to its own line and create a ruck there, then contest it after practising the timing.

Also check fusing a card and investing in a friendly match.

Trophies to watch

On top of the world!

Win the World Cup

Enter the optional tournament after D3 promotion and finish the season with the cup won.

Alive and kicking

Win a match by taking the lead with a drop kick in the last 10 min

Keep the score close enough that a drop goal takes the lead in the final ten minutes.

Now the real work begins

Reach an elite division in Career mode

Continue from D1 to the Elite league in the same Career.

Perfectly perfect

Complete a team training session with a perfect score

Do team training in Career and complete every input correctly.

Completionist

Complete one grid of missions

Close all 25 squares on one page; skip the grid that asks for online play.

Frequently asked questions

Must I finish every grid?

No. One complete page is enough. Inspect the requirements before putting hours into a grid that asks for multiplayer.

Is the World Cup played outside Career?

The documented route uses the optional Career event after D3 promotion.

Are harder settings required?

No. Play on Amateur and adjust match length when you need to set up a specific score.
