Full list of Pacific Drive trophies & achievements, including hidden ones
Pacific Drive is a game that’s all about discovery, and that extends to its list of trophies and achievements, as much of it is hidden when you first boot up the game. As you venture further into the Olympic Exclusion Zone with your trusty station wagon, you’ll begin to uncover all sorts of weird and wonderful alien secrets.
Of course, you can take a peek at the 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 collated the full list of trophies and achievements down below, so you can see exactly what you need to do to 100% complete this curious game.

In total, there are 21 hidden trophies that you’ll need to unlock before you can earn that coveted Platinum trophy. Most of the hidden trophies relate to story beats, while some of them are rather goofy actions that you’ll need to complete in-game.
My favourite of the secret trophies is “Driver’s Ed Dropout”, which is unlocked after forgetting to put the car into drive before hitting the gas 20 times. This is something that I always forget to do, and got a genuine belly laugh out of me when I unlocked it myself without realising.
How many trophies and achievements are there in total?
Click to enlargeIn total, there are 50 trophies and achievements to unlock, if you include the Platinum trophy on PlayStation that’s earned once you unlock the other 49 trophies for the game. Of those 49 trophies, three of them are Gold, five are Silver, and 41 are rated Bronze.
While it’s estimated that you’ll need around 20 hours to complete the main story of Pacific Drive, you’re likely looking at around 40 hours if you want to unlock all of the trophies in the game. This is because you’ll need to unlock everything in the Fabrication Station, discover 600 Logbook entries, and complete the main story before unlocking the three Gold trophies, which are the hardest to complete in the game.
Still, given Pacific Drive is one of the most mechanically interesting games of 2024 so far, there are worse games to spend 40 hours in!
