Trophies/achievements - general information

1. The basic game has 47 trophies - 1 platinum (available only on PS4/PS5), 3 gold, 9 silver, and 34 bronze.
2. Achievements/trophies are available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. However, at the time of updating this guide, only the Steam version had achievements.
3. Story DLCs for Control add new trophies - The Foundation has 10 trophies, and Altered World Events - AWE adds 11 trophies. They aren't required for the platinum trophy, and their descriptions aren't listed on this trophy guide page.
4. All trophies are unlocked in the single-player mode - Control doesn't have multiplayer.
5. Control doesn't offer difficulty settings, but the game can be played with cheats - we have listed them on the Cheats page. Use them to win problematic boss fights.
6. None of the trophies can be missed. You can get them all within a single playthrough. You can keep playing Control after finishing the main storyline.
7. Getting all the trophies from the base game should take you around 30 hours. You will probably spend the majority of that time on finding and completing all the side missions.
8. You don't need to get 100% of the collectibles to unlock the platinum trophy. You only need to find some of them.
9. You can have problems with unlocking the Expert Parautilitarian trophy in the final part of the game. If you only have the basic version of Control, you will need to search for the hidden locations - some of them are described in the Secrets and puzzles chapter. Every hidden location you find grants you 1 skill point. This trophy is easier to get if you have the DLCs - they add alternative ways of earning skill points.
