10 PlayStation Trophies That Are Literally Impossible To Achieve
A completionist's worst nightmare.
Considering the innumerable amount of communities that exist for the sole purpose of helping other players earn trophies, it's hard to remember a time when those shiny virtual rewards weren't a core part of the PlayStation experience.
The act of trophy-hunting is something that a lot of gamers like to dedicate their time to, and with countless YouTube channels, websites, PS4 communities, and subreddits available to guide players towards unlocking their next prize, there are few trophies that can't be unlocked with a dash of perseverance and a chunk of free time.
But unfortunately, that's not always true. Since the trophy system is over a decade old and thousands of games have made use of it in that time, it's no surprise that a bunch of trophies have become unobtainable over the years, whether that's because of a glitch, a lack of updates, or hackers ruining things for the honest folk out there.
So, if you want to avoid the bitter, bitter taste of a 98% completion rate (and you love that glorious "ding!" sound effect), best stay away from these games and their impossible trophies.
10. Run Like The Wind - Grand Theft Auto V (PS3 Version)
Because of the amount of money and resources behind them, it seems bizarre that a massive AAA game would feature an issue that prevents players from getting 100% completion. And yet, Grand Theft Auto V falls into this category.
For the first few years after its 2013 launch, the PS3 version of the game had an attainable - albeit rather difficult - platinum trophy, with no major issues to speak of. However, in 2017, Rockstar disabled the ability to place bounties on people in GTA Online, making one particular trophy - Run Like The Wind - impossible to achieve, since it required players to survive with a bounty on their heads for one in-game day.
Players who had already unlocked the trophy before 2017 were not affected by this change, but players who hadn't got around to it yet - or new players starting the game for the first time - were screwed. The last-gen versions of the game have been pretty much abandoned too, so Rockstar probably won't head back and change things.
