PS4
Aiden’s story is only part of the Watch Dogs platinum. Chicago contains investigations, contracts, music recognition and minigames, while online invasions form a separate route worth testing before a full collection commitment. Being tailed is not the same as tailing another player. This roadmap separates those conditions and organizes activities by category, so the campaign ending is not mistaken for completion. Bad Blood remains outside the main platinum.
Base-game platinum roadmap for PS4. Additional trophy groups are separate.
- Required difficulty: No specific difficulty is required.
- Missable trophies: Activities support cleanup; track music, minigames and online availability.
- Online: Hacking, tailing and public races require online services and other players.
Test invasions and public races first
Open online contracts and test the modes required by the PS4 list. Hackification counts successful hacks, Piggyback completed observations, and Superhighway public races. One mode does not satisfy the others. A menu entry does not prove current matchmaking availability; record a real test result before planning the platinum.
- Test hacking, tailing and races separately.
Allow incoming tailing attempts
Traced concerns five times being tailed, not five invasions you initiate. Keep invasion-compatible online settings during city cleanup, and do not confuse your completed contracts with incoming encounters. When coordinating with another player, agree which person is observing and which must be observed.
- Separate Traced from Piggyback in the checklist.
Use towers to organize Chicago
Unlock the ctOS network and treat investigations and jobs as different series. Gang hideouts, convoys and Fixer contracts do not share one completion requirement. When a category seems finished, compare its wording with the map rather than repeating completed activities; final investigation missions can depend on story progress.
- Close each investigation family with its final assignment.
Track music and Hotspots separately
SongSneak and Hotspots require specific interactions; passing a place or hearing music does not necessarily register it. Check the relevant app before moving. For missing tracks, combine story progress with useful phone scans rather than restarting the whole collection or mistaking unlocked songs for those still unidentified.
- Compare each app with its own requirement.
Practise all three drinking opponents
Social Lubricant requires level ten against each of three opponents. Practise the sequences where accuracy breaks down, then finish the series; victories at one bar do not cover Chicago. Afterwards check skills, escapes and combat actions, leaving T-Bone trophies in the Bad Blood group.
- Track the level reached against each opponent.

Frequently asked questions
Is the platinum entirely offline?
No. The PS4 list includes online requirements. A campaign completion does not replace them, and real service availability must be tested.
Is Bad Blood required?
No. T-Bone trophies form an additional group separate from Aiden’s campaign platinum.
Does tailing others unlock Traced?
No. That contributes to Piggyback. Traced requires incoming tailing attempts.
