Pacific Drive is a game of discovery that extends to the list of trophies and achievements, as most of them are hidden when you first start the game. As you venture further into the Olympic Exclusion Zone in your trusty station wagon, you’ll begin to uncover all sorts of weird and wonderful alien secrets.
Of course, you can peek at hidden trophies by pressing Square in the PlayStation menu, but it’s much harder to see those elusive achievements if you’re playing on the Epic Games Store or Steam. As such, I’ve compiled the full list of trophies and achievements below so you can see exactly what you need to do to 100% complete this strange game.

Together, there are 21 hidden trophies which you need to unlock before you get that coveted platinum trophy. Most of the hidden trophies are related to parts of the story, although some of them are rather stupid actions that you have to perform in the game.
My favorite of the secret trophies is “Driver’s Ed Dropout”, which is unlocked after you forget to start the car before hitting the gas pedal 20 times. This is something I always forget to do and caused a real laugh when I unlocked it myself without realizing it.
How many trophies and achievements are there in total?
Together, There are 50 trophies and achievements to unlock, if you include the PlayStation Platinum trophy, which can be obtained by unlocking the remaining 49 trophies in the game. Of these 49 trophies, three are gold, five are silver and 41 are bronze.
Although it is estimated that you will need around 20 hours to complete the main story of Pacific Drive, it will probably take you around 40 hours if you want to unlock all the trophies in the game. This is because you will need to unlock everything in Fabrication Station, discover 600 journal entries, and complete the main story before unlocking the three gold trophies, which are the hardest to obtain in the game.
Still, considering Pacific Drive is one of the most mechanically interesting games of 2024 so far, there are worse games to spend 40 hours on!
