Grand Theft Auto IV has 65 achievements worth 1,500 Gamerscore on Xbox when the base game and both Episodes from Liberty City are counted together. GTA IV contributes 50 achievements and 1,000G, The Lost and Damned adds five and 250G, and The Ballad of Gay Tony adds ten and another 250G.
The base-game 1,000G includes ten ranked-multiplayer achievements. Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S run the same Xbox 360 version through backward compatibility, so progress unlocks against this original list rather than a separate modern-console set.

These 40 achievements cover the story, side missions, friendships, minigames, collectibles and 100% completion. Most can be cleaned up after the story, but Liberty City Minute requires a story completion time below 30 hours.

Key To The City measures GTA IV's base-game progress only. Its 100% checklist is:
Neither The Lost and Damned nor The Ballad of Gay Tony contributes to Key To The City.
The base game contains ten ranked-multiplayer achievements worth 140G. All ten are required for the base-game 1,000G; the two episodes do not add any online achievements.
Online status, checked September 2026: TrueAchievements did not mark any of the 65 achievements as discontinued when checked, but GTA IV's multiplayer is a legacy service and Rockstar does not guarantee permanent availability. Public lobbies can be sparse, so test access and arrange boosting partners before committing to the full 1,000G.
Tracking warning: Keep your own checklist for Top The Midnight Club and Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic. Historical leaderboard and stat tracking is not a dependable record of every required win.
| Achievement | Gamerscore | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Teamplayer | 10G | Kill five different opposing players during one ranked team match. This normally requires at least six players in the lobby. |
| Cut Your Teeth | 5G | Reach multiplayer Rank 1 by earning $1,000 in ranked matches. |
| Join The Midnight Club | 10G | Win a ranked standard Race with vehicle damage enabled while taking very little damage. |

| Taking It For The Team | 10G | 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 | 10G | Score 20 pistol kills during a single ranked Deathmatch. |
| Top The Midnight Club | 20G | Win 20 different ranked standard Race courses. GTA Race wins do not count for this achievement. |
| Wanted | 20G | Reach multiplayer Rank 10 by accumulating $5,000,000 in ranked earnings. |
| Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic | 30G | Win every required ranked game variation, every Race and GTA Race course, and win as both Cops and Crooks in both Cops 'n Crooks variants: All for One and One for All. |
| Let Sleeping Rockstars Lie | 10G | In a ranked match, kill a Rockstar developer or any player who already has this viral achievement. |
The two Episodes from Liberty City add 15 achievements worth 500G. They increase the complete list from 50 achievements and 1,000G to 65 achievements and 1,500G. Neither episode adds an online achievement.

Only certain GTA IV cheats temporarily block specific achievements during the active session. They do not permanently remove achievement 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 achievement.
The four potentially affected achievements 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 Xbox 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.
Xbox confirms that GTA IV and Episodes from Liberty City are backward compatible on Xbox One, and the current Xbox Store lists GTA IV for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Newer consoles run the original Xbox 360 version, so they use the same 65 achievements and 1,500G rather than providing a second achievement stack.
The Xbox 360 Store closed in July 2024, but the closure did not disable already-owned games, online play where a publisher's service remains available or Xbox 360 achievements. Digital availability should be checked in the current Xbox Store; physical copies require a compatible console with a disc drive.
GTA IV has 50 base-game achievements worth 1,000G. The Lost and Damned adds five worth 250G and The Ballad of Gay Tony adds ten worth 250G, bringing the complete Xbox list to 65 achievements and 1,500G.
No. The 15 episode achievements are required for the complete 1,500G, but the base-game 1,000G consists only of GTA IV's original 50 achievements.
Yes. Ten base-game achievements worth 140G require ranked multiplayer, and all ten are needed for the base-game 1,000G. Neither episode has online achievements.
TrueAchievements did not mark any of the 65 achievements as discontinued when checked in September 2026. The ten online achievements depend on legacy multiplayer access, however, and continued availability is not guaranteed. Test the online mode and find boosting partners before starting a full completion.
No. Backward compatibility runs the Xbox 360 version, so Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S use the original 65-achievement list and share progress with it.
No. The store closure stopped new purchases through the old Xbox 360 storefront; it did not disable achievements. Previously owned content remains playable and downloadable, subject to platform and publisher service availability.
Liberty City Minute is the main time-sensitive achievement: 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 achievements can be completed after the story.
Yes, but certain cheats temporarily block four particular achievements during the active session. Use a separate manual save, fully quit the game and load a clean pre-cheat save before attempting those achievements.
No. GTA IV does not require completing the story on a specific difficulty setting.
