Genshin Impact PlayStation trophy list, from how to earn all the main and hidden trophies to the Platinum trophy

How to earn every PlayStation trophy for Genshin Impact’s base game and its updates.

Genshin Impact is set in the vast and ever-expanding open world of Teyvat, and with that, there is currently a total of 51 trophies on the PS5 version and 50 trophies on the PS4 version that’s designed for you to sink a lot of time into the free-to-play action RPG.

The base game has 38 trophies on PS5 and 37 trophies on PS4, but as the game added the Inazuma region, it has received an additional 6 trophies in a Series II trophy update and 7 trophies in a Series III trophy update. A number of trophies are hidden too, which means that, while you know they exist, you might not know how to obtain them.

While Genshin Impact is a massive live-service game that is seemingly impossible to fully complete, and will be more of a grind if you don’t intend to open up your wallet to help with gathering materials or using wishes to unlock its growing roster of playable characters, you’ll be glad to know that micro-transactions aren’t required to achieve any of the trophies.

For those who want to hunt down every available trophy, we’ve listed all the trophies down below, including how to earn the hidden trophies, so you can figure out which ones you're missing.

How easy is it to obtain the platinum trophy in Genshin Impact?

Genshin Impact is a live-service game that is constantly evolving with new updates. In fact, it didn’t even launch on PlayStation with a Platinum trophy, while currently the PS4 version does not have a Platinum trophy.

The base game’s trophy list eventually expanded with the addition of new story content and features, while the native PS5 version launched in April 2021 with a Platinum trophy, at which time of writing has been earned by 3.5% of players. It is awarded upon completing 'all other trophies in the current version,' though this should just mean obtaining all the trophies from the base game rather than all the trophies from subsequent updates.

Despite being a free-to-play game that entices you with microtransactions, especially with unlocking new playable characters with each regular banner update, the good news is that you won’t require anything that’s dependent on microtransactions in order to unlock any of the trophies.

Nonetheless, many of the trophies do require putting in a lot of grinding in the game, such as maxing out a character or weapon, or by opening chests in each region, or building up your Reputation rank.

Looking for 800 chests in Liyue is especially daunting, which you shouldn’t expect to be able to speed through. While some chests do have a fixed spot, and some are opened as a one-time reward in a dungeon, the vast majority are randomly generated and unlock after defeating a mob of enemies in that location. Nonetheless, if you are logging in on a daily basis and taking your time to explore each region, you’ll gradually open more chests.

Obtaining trophies for clearing different levels of the Spiral Abyss is especially challenging as you will need to assemble a high-level roster of characters and gear, which gets more demanding as you get deeper with each challenge, especially once you’re required to have multiple parties at once.

In this case, you might be compelled to spend money to increase your chances of unlocking a five-star character sooner, though you’ll still be required to put in the grind to level them up.

It will take a considerable time investment to unlock all of the trophies in Genshin Impact, but if you’re already hooked and devoted to Genshin Impact’s breezy charms and playing it regularly, then the grind won’t seem so bad and you’ll gradually get closer to unlocking every trophy.

Good luck in Teyvat!
