Grand Theft Auto IV has 66 trophies on PS3 when the base game and both Episodes from Liberty City are counted together: 51 in GTA IV, five in The Lost and Damned and ten in The Ballad of Gay Tony. Below you will find every trophy, its grade and the requirement for unlocking it.
The Platinum trophy, Taking A Liberty, only requires the other 50 base-game trophies. The 15 episode trophies count towards 100% completion of the entire trophy set, but they are not needed for the Platinum.

The base game contains ten online trophies, including the Gold trophy Wanted. All ten are part of the 50 trophies required for Taking A Liberty; the two episodes do not add any online trophies.
Online status, checked September 2026: Recent player sessions indicate that GTA IV's original PS3 multiplayer may still be accessible, but Rockstar does not provide a current uptime guarantee for this legacy service. Test connectivity before committing to the Platinum. Public lobbies may be sparse, so organized boosting partners are strongly recommended.
Tracking warning: Keep your own checklist for Top The Midnight Club and Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic. The old PS3 leaderboards and Social Club stat tracking no longer provide a dependable record of every required win.
| Trophy | Grade | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Teamplayer | Bronze | Kill five different opposing players during one ranked team match. This normally requires at least six players in the lobby. |

| Join The Midnight Club | Bronze | Win a ranked standard Race with vehicle damage enabled while taking very little damage. |
| Fly The Co-op | Bronze | Beat Rockstar's target time in ranked Deal Breaker, Hangman's NOOSE and Bomb da Base II. Use these safe targets: under 7:03, under 2:32 and under 5:34, respectively. |
| Taking It For The Team | Bronze | Be on the winning team in each ranked team mode: Team Deathmatch, Team Mafiya Work, Team Car Jack City, Turf War and Cops 'n Crooks. |
| Top Of The Food Chain | Bronze | Score 20 pistol kills during a single ranked Deathmatch. |
| Top The Midnight Club | Bronze | Win 20 different ranked standard Race courses. GTA Race wins do not count for this trophy. |
| Wanted | Gold | Reach multiplayer Rank 10 by accumulating $5,000,000 in ranked earnings. |
| Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic | Bronze | Win every required ranked game variation, every Race and GTA Race course, and both teams in both Cops 'n Crooks variants. |
| Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie | Bronze | In a ranked match, kill a Rockstar developer or any player who already has this viral trophy. |
PSN Online ID warning: Sony does not support Online ID changes in PS3 games and warns that some games may lose progress or online functionality after a change. Avoid changing your Online ID while working towards these multiplayer trophies, and back up your GTA IV profile data where possible.
The two Episodes from Liberty City add 15 Bronze trophies. They increase the complete trophy set from 51 to 66, but neither episode adds another Platinum and none of these trophies is required for Taking A Liberty.

Only certain GTA IV cheats temporarily block specific trophies during the active session. They do not permanently remove trophy eligibility. Create a manual save before entering a code, then fully quit the game and load a clean pre-cheat save before attempting an affected trophy.
The four potentially affected trophies are Cleaned The Mean Streets, Finish Him, One Man Army and Walk Free. Published sources disagree about whether the TBoGT Buzzard code 359-555-2899 affects the latter two, so treat it as unsafe. See our complete GTA 4 PS3 cheat list for the warning attached to each phone number.
TBoGT mission-score warning: The following nine phone cheats explicitly invalidate a scored story-mission attempt: 362-555-0100, 482-555-0100, 486-555-0100, 486-555-0150, 267-555-0100, 276-555-2666, 359-555-0100, 359-555-2899 and 272-555-8265. For reliable Past the Velvet Rope and Gold Star progress, replay the mission from the beginning without cheats.
Yes. GTA IV has 51 base-game trophies; The Lost and Damned adds five and The Ballad of Gay Tony adds ten, for 66 overall. Only the 50 non-Platinum base-game trophies are required for Taking A Liberty.
Yes. The Platinum is called Taking A Liberty and unlocks after earning the other 50 base-game trophies.
Availability depends on your PlayStation Store region. Sony began closing the PS3 Store in Mexico, Honduras and Nicaragua in August 2026. Additional Latin American and Middle Eastern markets will close from late 2026, and all remaining regions are scheduled to close in July 2027. New purchases are unavailable after a regional closure, although Sony says previously purchased content will remain downloadable for the foreseeable future. If you do not already own both episodes, check your regional PS3 Store before planning the complete 66-trophy set.
Yes. Ten base-game trophies require GTA IV's ranked multiplayer, and all ten are required for the Platinum. The two episodes do not have online trophies.
Recent player sessions checked in September 2026 indicate that GTA IV's PS3 multiplayer may still be accessible. Rockstar does not guarantee continued availability for this legacy service, however, so test that you can connect and organize the necessary players before committing to the Platinum.
Liberty City Minute is the main time-sensitive trophy: finishing the story after the 30-hour limit requires another save. Driving Mr. Bellic can also become unavailable on that save after a particular late-story outcome if Roman's Car Service was not unlocked first. Most other single-player trophies can be completed after the story.
Yes, but certain cheats temporarily block four particular trophies during the active session. Use a separate manual save, fully quit the game and load a clean pre-cheat save before attempting those trophies.
No. GTA IV does not require completing the story on a specific difficulty setting.
