Welcome to Chicago and welcome to one of the best games to have come out on the PS4. This guide is designed to assist you in getting the platinum trophy with as little resistance as possible. The game is designed to be both a single player and a multiplayer experience at the same time.
You can turn off online invasions from the options menu but if you're trying for the Platinum, you want to keep this on. There is a trophy for being tailed 5 times and you want to try to get those while your playing and you never know when you're being tailed. Yes it will open you up to getting hacked from time to time, but most players will tell you that it's not as frequent as you'd think. If you do not engage in multiplayer yourself, you won't get hacked that often. Once you get the Traced trophy, feel free to turn off online invasions if you wish.
If you need to force the game to auto save, change a setting in the options menu e.g. the Subtitles.

Step 1 - Play through the story - Simply play through each of the 39 main stories and enjoy the game. You will automatically start the game on Normal difficulty, but if you choose to, you can change the difficulty at any time under gameplay in the options menu. You can choose to do as much or as little of the side missions, collectibles, mini games etc. Many side missions aren't available until you discover their locations through hacking of citizens so profile and hack as many as you can to unlock them, even if you plan on doing them later because this will save you time in the long run.
In addition to profiling and hacking as many citizens as possible, the two other things I would highly recommend you do throughout all your time playing the story is to check-in at any hotspot locations you run past as part of the Geolocated trophy and work on finding songs for Disc Space Full by profiling citizens or using the SongSneak app. See each of their trophies descriptions for more info.
You can and probably will, earn some the Miscellaneous trophies as outlined in Step 4. Other than that, just play and enjoy the game however you want to play it.
Note: There are some investigations and collectibles that will be unavailable until you have progressed far enough in the main story.
Step 2 - Complete Side Missions, Investigations and Collectibles - Open up your smartphone () and check out your progression, you will see all the available activities as well as your progress towards them. You will earn these trophies under each of the following categories:
Side Missions
-
Road Rage
-
Enforcer
-
End of Line
-
Basest Base
Investigations
-
Revoking Client Privileges
-
Sanity Check
-
Read-Only
-
Darkness Looms
-
Saturday Night Special
Collectibles
-
Disk Space Full
-
Peephole
-
Clear Signals
-
System Mangler
-
Geolocated
- Audio logs not needed for trophies
Online Contracts
-
Piggyback (Also Stealth Cookie if you remain undetected for one)
-
Superhighway
-
Hackification
- Online Decryption not needed for trophies
Mini Games
-
Social Lubricant (Most difficult trophy in the game)
You'll also need to play these specific games for the Power Cycle trophy.
- Drinking Game
- Chess
- Shell Game
- Poker
- Slot Machine
You can go about these in any order you wish but the first thing you want to do is unlock all the ctOS towers. These will appear as large red icons on the map. See Clear Signals for their locations and how to unlock each. For each tower that you unlock, you will reveal nearby investigations, collectibles and other points of interests.
IMPORTANT - As I already mentioned, some investigations or collectibles won't appear on the map or be available at all until you have progressed far enough into the main story.
Step 3 - Online Contracts - This step will require you to participate in the online component of the game. The online trophies can't be boosted. You can select online contracts by hitting and selecting the online contracts app or by going to the map and hitting
or
to tab over to the online map. From there, just select which event you want to participate in. You do not need to do any Online Decryption, Free Roam or Mobile Challenges so do the following:
- Complete 10 Online Tailing
- Do 1 tailing without being seen
- Complete 10 Public Online Races (just finish, no need to win)
- Successfully complete 10 Online Hackings
The only other online trophy left is the hidden trophy called Traced. This requires another player to be placed in your game and follow you and it's quite buggy with the servers at the moment. See that trophy for more information.
During this Step you will earn:
-
Piggyback
-
Stealth Cookie
-
Superhighway
-
Hackification
-
Traced
Step 4 - Miscellaneous Stuff - At this point you should have most of the trophies through natural gameplay. In case you don't, you can get these anytime:
-
Hard Crash
-
Communication Fail
-
Bookmarked
-
Magic Smoke
-
Escape Loop
-
Free Radical
-
White Rabbit Object
-
Scanproof
-
Hardware Fail
-
Black Hat Trick
