Star Overdrive: platinum trophy guide PS5

Star Overdrive

PS5

On Cebete, the board and keytar powers are the keys to cleanup. First progress far enough to unlock moves that open terrain, then check the map and collections region by region. If a trophy needs a style or tape, clearing the races alone will not replace it.

Cross Cebete, open mines with the keytar and track races, styles and tapes separately.

  • Difficulty: Requires exploration, races and movement objectives.
  • Missables: Finish cleanup before the final fight if your save does not clearly offer free roam.
  • Online: The game and trophy races are single-player.

Build the board for Cebete’s terrain

After the intro, take the hoverboard and practice chaining tricks on dunes: the landing builds boost for the next descent. Craft speed and jump parts at the workbench and fit mods as you find them. To cross water, collect Gravitanium from the first sandworm and build the corresponding component instead of trying to jump the full stretch.

  • Unlock the board and check the water component.

Open the mines with keytar powers

Use Power Nodes and keytar powers as the story makes them available. If a mine has a mechanism you cannot operate, mark the entrance and return after learning the ability. In the Lambda mine, check the cart on the crossing tracks and bring it near the mechanism before interacting with the wheels. Check the completion marker before moving on to the next mine.

  • Verify each completed mine and the powers collected.

Track races and time trials separately

The races for Grand Tour and the time trial for Just in time are separate objectives. Make a reconnaissance pass to learn a race’s gates and dunes, then boost through the straights. For Hypersonic, try a long descent with a speed-focused part and build boost from tricks before the open stretch.

  • Check off the races and at least one separate time trial.

Check styles and both tape collections

At the workbench, distinguish styles from the board’s other customization categories. Search chests for hidden styles and compare the available entries after each region; do not use the Deluxe item count as a target. Do the same for tapes: Nous’ recordings tell the story, while Star Overdrive tapes are a separate set. Check both trophies before heading for the finale.

  • Verify both tape sets and the base-game styles.

Review Cebete’s activities before the finale

Follow the special-board lead after exploring the pyramid structures, and check trader requests for rewards. Before the last fight, inspect the Engineering and Bond progress: one equipped upgrade is not the same as a complete category. Finally give the five-enemy control and shield actions separate attempts, using clustered enemies instead of killing the first one immediately.

  • Check the special board, Engineering, Bond and remaining actions.
