Wheel World: PS5 platinum trophy guide

Wheel World

PS5

Every Wheel World race has several goals. Do not stop at a podium: track wins, Tom’s times and KAT letters. Explore before repeatedly attempting one race, as frame and part swaps can give you a bike suited to the course. Take the long speed tests out of races, where opponents cannot cut across your line.

Base PS5 list covering races, bike builds and collectibles.

  • Required difficulty: No required difficulty setting. Wins and Tom’s times are race conditions.
  • Missable trophies: Guides document continued play after the ending. Update before chasing missing parts.
  • Multiplayer: None: Tom’s times are in-game targets, not head-to-head matches.
  • PlayStation release: 2025-07-23

Explore Tramonto and prepare two builds

Before tougher races, ride around Tramonto and open Cyclorp boxes. Build for grip and handling on tight corners, and keep a power and aero setup for fast stretches. Test both on a short race so you know which swaps actually solve the section where you lose time.

  • Open boxes while exploring, then compare the bike stats.

Track the win, KAT and Tom time for every race

Repeat each course according to the goal. Learn where to cut and brake first, then take a shot at Tom’s time. On the letter attempt, watch the jumps and pick up K, A and T, but win the race as well; the completion guide says losing does not bank the letters. Check the race’s reputation awards before moving to another region.

  • Tick three results per race: first place, letters and time beaten.

Buy the parts and win with themed bikes

For Retail Therapy, buy the parts sold in shops. Opening a box does not replace a purchase. For Bodied, look for the six Body pieces in the Downtown shop in the Wasteland. The Gamer bike uses the saddle and bars from the secret shop near The Lords of The Land. Test each build on an early race you know so you are not learning a new course at the same time.

  • Check the equipped part names and win with each required setup.

Do the ten-minute speed test at the velodrome

For Pop Quiz, Hotshot, head to the Fixies track in the northeast of Tramonto Preserve. Ride the open loop on a fast bike and stay at or above 40 kph. If you drop below the threshold, restart the continuous stretch. Hour Record is a different goal: cover at least 40 km in an hour without the continuous speed floor.

  • Stay out of the race for the continuous attempt and watch your speed through each turn.

Track down Lone Wolves, boxes and Lunardo Boys

After The Great Shift, make a regional sweep: compare opened boxes and beaten Lone Wolves with the map, then find any remaining Lunardo Boys. If a part is missing after a full sweep, check shops and your game version. Post-launch notes document fixes for missing parts and boxes, so launch-era reports are not grounds for declaring the trophy impossible.

  • Check one collection at a time: boxes, shops, Lone Wolves and Lunardo Boys.

Frequently asked questions

Can I go back to races after The Great Shift?

Yes. Guides document post-story play, so revisit the regions for remaining race goals and collectibles.

Will KAT count if I finish second?

The completion guide documents collecting the letters in a race you win. Use a separate attempt if the record line is too tight.

Can I add several stretches above 40 kph together?

No for Pop Quiz, Hotshot: the ten minutes must be uninterrupted. The hour distance trophy is separate.
