PS4 / PS5
The first TimeSplitters rewards clearing the Normal story, nine final challenges and making your own map. You do not need every secret from the original PS2 release. Learn each level’s return route and note where the exit appears after you take the objective.
Emulated PS4 and PS5 releases of the first TimeSplitters. Their identical 21-trophy lists were added after launch.
- Story: Nine levels to clear on Normal.
- Challenges: Challenges 1-C through 9-C are required.
- MapMaker: Create a new local map.
Play all nine levels on Normal
Set Normal and clear Tomb, Chinese and Cyberden before moving on to the levels that open up. Taking the objective is not enough: head back to the marked extraction point and confirm the result. Keep a list of all nine eras so you can spot any level played at the wrong difficulty.
- Check for the era trophy after extracting.
Prepare for the trip back
While learning a map, notice corridors with blind corners and supplies. Reload before taking the item and choose the shortest route you know. If the way back is costing health, leave fights that do not block the exit: there is no story trophy for defeating every enemy.
- Apply the same check on Village, Docks and Spaceways.
Use one mission for full health
For Healthy Agent, pick the level you know with the fewest detours. Check your health after taking the objective, not only at the start: the value when you finish the level is what matters. If the usual route exposes you to shots, change one corner at a time rather than switching maps every attempt.
- Reach the exit with the health meter full.
Clear each series through its C challenge
Challenges come in sets. Clear A and B as needed to reach C, then check which of the nine C challenges has awarded its trophy. In Bowl Them Over aim at the mutants’ heads. Choose a spot with sight of their approach and focus on the challenge’s requirement rather than counting every elimination.
- Check off Dusk of the Dead, Crispy Duck and the other C challenges through Space Vandals.
Create a map in MapMaker
Open MapMaker and start a new map instead of merely viewing a bundled one. A simple layout is enough for the creation trophy. If anything remains, separate the nine story trophies from the nine challenge trophies; replaying a random arcade match does not replace any of them.
- Verify Creativity Split and the Normal clears before leaving the game.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my PS2 version show no trophies?
The trophies belong to the updated PS4 and PS5 apps. The PS2 original does not have a PlayStation Network list.
Do I need multiplayer?
No. Story, challenges and MapMaker can all be completed locally by one player.
Do I need every secret time trial?
No. Check the Normal levels and specific C challenges; the list does not require every timed unlock.
