Control Resonant Trophy Guide: How to Get the Platinum

Difficulty, time, the one semi-missable trophy, a two-step roadmap and every trophy grouped by what you need to do, with links to the collectible guides.

Short answer

The Control Resonant platinum is easy but long: about 40–50 hours, rated 4/10 (3/10 with Assist Mode). There are 50 trophies (1 Platinum, 1 Gold, 16 Silver, 32 Bronze), no online or difficulty trophies, no New Game Plus requirement and free roam after the credits. Only one is semi-missable: Be What You Want to Be, the karaoke in The Party Won’t Stop.

The one missable trophy

Be What You Want to Be (Bronze): save every guest during the karaoke. It is part of the side story The Party Won’t Stop, in an apartment in the southwest of the West Incursion Zone. Follow the music. PowerPyx suggests coming from the higher street to the east, jumping onto the roof and going in through the door.

  • You pick nine lyrics at the karaoke machine. A wrong line kills a guest and voids the trophy.
  • If that happens, go to Settings > Load Game and reload the last save before you continue.
  • Missed it anyway? The game keeps a permanent save after each main quest. Load one from around Power Lines or Into the Sinkhole and go straight to the party.

Platinum roadmap

  • Step 1 — the story (20–30 hours). It unlocks every zone and traversal ability. Open every chest on the way, especially the clown boxes (Health Upgrades) and metal boxes (Power Upgrades). Do The Party Won’t Stop as soon as it appears.
  • Step 2 — cleanup (about 20 hours). Finish the trophy side stories, clear collectibles zone by zone, then grind FBC Tasks, the combat trophies and the remaining Artifacts and Aberrant Strength.

Our mission list shows which side stories unlock when, so you can slot them into Step 1.

Trophy FAQ

How hard is the Control Resonant platinum? Easy. PowerPyx rates it 4/10, or 3/10 with Assist Mode on. There are no difficulty, online or New Game Plus trophies, and Assist Mode does not block any of them.

How long does the Control Resonant platinum take? About 40 to 50 hours without Assist Mode and 30 to 40 hours with it. Roughly 20 to 30 hours of that is the story. The rest is side stories, collectibles and FBC Tasks.

Are there missable trophies in Control Resonant? One is semi-missable: Be What You Want to Be, the karaoke in The Party Won’t Stop. A wrong lyric kills a guest. Reload straight away, or load one of the permanent saves the game keeps after each main quest.

How many trophies does Control Resonant have? 50 on PS5: 1 Platinum, 1 Gold, 16 Silver and 32 Bronze. Xbox and Steam have 49 achievements because there is no Platinum.
