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.

Before You Start the GTA 4 Platinum

  • Install the latest game update before starting a new save. Trophy support was added to GTA IV after launch, and progress completed before installing the trophy update is not awarded retroactively.
  • Plan Liberty City Minute from the beginning. You must finish the story with less than 30 hours of recorded play time. Use a separate save and concentrate on main missions if your first run exceeds the limit.
  • Unlock Driving Mr. Bellic early. Raise Roman's Like stat to 60% and wait for his call before starting One Last Thing. One ending can otherwise make the ability unavailable on that save.
  • Keep a cheat-free manual save. Certain phone cheats temporarily block four specific trophies during the active session. Restart the game and load a clean save before attempting an affected trophy.
  • Check multiplayer access first. Ten base-game trophies require ranked multiplayer, and all ten are needed for the Platinum.
  • The episodes are separate. None of their 15 trophies is required for the Platinum, and neither episode includes online trophies.
  • There is no difficulty trophy. The story does not have to be completed on a particular difficulty setting.
  1. Test ranked multiplayer first. Confirm that you can connect, then organize boosting partners before investing in the single-player completion.
  2. Complete GTA IV's story in under 30 hours. Focus on story missions, use taxis and skip journeys, raise Roman's Like stat to 60% and wait for his call before One Last Thing, and rotate several manual saves.
  3. Clean up the base game. Complete friendships, minigames, police-computer jobs, side missions, Random Characters, stunt jumps and Flying Rats, then finish the remaining requirements for Key To The City.
  4. Complete the ten ranked-multiplayer trophies. Keep a manual checklist for race wins and every Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic variation.
  5. Complete The Lost and Damned. Use eligible backup missions and Gang Wars to raise Terry's and Clay's toughness for TLAD: Full Chat.
  6. Complete The Ballad of Gay Tony. Finish the campaign and side activities, then replay the 26 scored missions without cheats for the 80% and 100% trophies.

  • Complete 20 View Current Crimes jobs and defeat all 30 Most Wanted targets: 2.5% for each block, 5% total.
  • Complete all 16 required encounters belonging to the ten Random Characters that count towards 100%: 5%.
  • Complete every required activity and unlock the special ability of Little Jacob, Brucie and Packie: 10%. Roman and Dwayne do not count towards this friendship category.

  • Complete all 50 Unique Stunt Jumps and kill all 200 Flying Rats: 2.5% for each block, 5% total.

Neither The Lost and Damned nor The Ballad of Gay Tony contributes to Key To The City.

GTA 4 Online Trophies on PS3

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.

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.

GTA 4 Episode Trophies on PS3

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.

Do GTA 4 Cheats Disable Trophies?

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.

GTA 4 PS3 Trophy FAQ

Does the 66 Trophy Total Include the DLC?

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.

Does GTA 4 Have a Platinum Trophy on PS3?

Yes. The Platinum is called Taking A Liberty and unlocks after earning the other 50 base-game trophies.

Can I Still Buy the GTA 4 Episodes on PS3?

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.

Does GTA 4 Have Online Trophies on PS3?

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.

Is the GTA 4 Platinum Still Obtainable on PS3?

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.

Are Any GTA 4 Trophies Missable?

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.

Can You Use Cheats and Still Earn Trophies?

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.

Is There a Difficulty-Related Trophy?

No. GTA IV does not require completing the story on a specific difficulty setting.
