All 34 GTA Vice City - The Definitive Edition trophies and achievements explained: the 4 missables in story missions, story, side-mission and mayhem achievements, the Take the Cannoli bug, 9 Social Club awards and a platinum order.
How many achievements Vice City Definitive Edition has
| Platform | What you get |
|---|---|
| PS4, PS5 | 34 trophies: platinum, 5 gold, 9 silver, 19 bronze |
| Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S | 33 achievements, 1,000 Gamerscore |
| PC (Steam) | 34 achievements: Kingpin is a regular one here |
| Rockstar Social Club | 43 awards, 9 of them exclusive to it |
Names are in English, as in the game; the conditions are in our own words, based on the official Steam list and checked against GTABase and PowerPyx. As of November 2026 the list has not changed. The 2015 PS4 release had its own set of 34 trophies, which was replaced by the Definitive Edition list.
* City Sleuth: GTABase lists it as Gold, the PowerPyx table as Silver. The "5 gold" total matches the GTABase version.
Four achievements that are easy to miss
Each one is tied to a single mission. Save manually before it: if you break the condition, fail the mission or reload.
| Trophy | Mission | What to do | PS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Iron-y | Four Iron | Kill the property developer with the golf club specifically. | Silver |
| Not my First Time | G-Spotlight | Finish the InterGlobal Studios mission without ever falling off the rooftops. | Silver |
| Salutations My Little Friend | Rub Out | Finish Diaz off with the M4. Bring the rifle with you. | Gold |
| Chopper'd Up | Demolition Man | Kill every hostile NPC with the blades of the toy RC helicopter, not with explosions. | Gold |
"Four Iron" and "Demolition Man" are optional missions for Avery Carrington, "G-Spotlight" comes from InterGlobal Studios, and "Rub Out" is a story mission. Mission details: GTA Vice City missions.
Story achievements: they come on their own
| Trophy | Mission | Given by | PS |

| Chauffeur | Publicity Tour | Love Fist | Bronze |
| Tommy Two-Wheels | Hog Tied | Mitch Baker | Bronze |
| Mischief Managed | Keep Your Friends Close... | final mission | Bronze |
"Trojan Voodoo", "Publicity Tour" and "Hog Tied" belong to gang and friend strands rather than the main story, but 100% needs them anyway.
