Corrected collectible trophy count and direct TacSim versus Platinum dependency
11007 First Light has 38 trophies on PlayStation 5 (mirrored as Xbox achievements on Series X|S): one Platinum, three Gold, fourteen Silver, and twenty Bronze. The trophy mix splits across story progression, combat-style challenges, collectibles, and Tactical Simulation Mode. The Platinum unlocks when every other trophy is achieved. Most trophies are unmissable on a standard campaign run; the combat-style trophies require specific tactical setups and are the most likely missed category on a first playthrough.22Summary44RarityCountPlatinum1Gold3Silver14Bronze20Total3866Story Trophies77Story trophies are awarded for completing specific mission segments.

There is no separate condition.3030Difficulty Note3232No trophies require a higher difficulty completion. Recruit, Intended, Hard, and Veteran are all valid playthrough paths to the Platinum. Mission replay carries over Challenge state and Collectible state.3434Estimated Roadmap3636First playthrough. Complete the campaign on Intended difficulty; collect what you spot along the way; pick a couple of combat-style trophies opportunistically. Roughly 14 to 18 hours.Combat-style cleanup. Replay one or two missions to clean up the nine combat-style trophies. Roughly 1 to 2 hours.Collectible cleanup. Use the mission select to clean up missing collectibles. Roughly 4 to 6 hours.Tactical Simulation. Reach Clearance Level 3, complete one Operation, complete one Escalation, beat Tier 3 of an Escalation. Roughly 1 to 3 hours.3838Total: roughly 20 to 30 hours for the Platinum, including mission replays and TacSim work.4040Online Requirement4242The 38 awards split into 33 that unlock offline and 5 that do not. Everything tied to the campaign, to combat technique and to Collectibles can be earned with no connection at all. The five Tactical Simulation Mode awards are the exception, because that mode runs against an online player profile: Clearance level, experience and inventory are held server-side and shared through Cross-Progression, so the mode and its awards need a connection.43+The 38-award roster includes 33 campaign, combat-style and collectible trophies, four direct TacSim trophies, and the Platinum. The Platinum depends on earning every other trophy, including the online TacSim trophies. Everything tied to the campaign, to combat technique and to Collectibles can be earned with no connection at all. The four direct Tactical Simulation Mode awards are the exception, because that mode runs against an online player profile: Clearance level, experience and inventory are held server-side and shared through Cross-Progression, so the mode and its awards need a connection.4444CategoryCountConnectionStory, combat-style and collectible awards33OfflineTactical Simulation awards5Online45+CategoryCountConnectionStory, combat-style and collectible awards33OfflineDirect Tactical Simulation awards4OnlinePlatinum1Requires every other trophy, including the online TacSim awards4646Missability4747Nothing in the list is permanently missable. Chapter select survives the credits, so every story beat, combat setup and collectible remains reachable on a replay, and no award is locked behind a difficulty setting. The combat-style awards are the ones most often left outstanding after a first run, not because they can be lost but because they ask for specific techniques a player is unlikely to attempt by accident.4949Two caveats are worth knowing. Some unlocks arrive late rather than immediately, particularly the collectible awards and Clearance Level 3, so a missing notification is not automatically a missing award. There was also no New Game Plus in the launch build, so a second campaign start was a fresh run rather than a carried-over one. New Game Plus was explored in the Year One Roadmap and was released on October 1, 2026.5151Unlock Fixes5353Several awards shipped with unlock bugs that post-launch patches repaired. Game Update 1.0.5 fixed the six collectible-completion awards, and Game Update 1.1.0 (July 24, 2026) fixed A Legacy of Spycraft, For Your Eyes Only, Casino Royale on the Epic Games Store, Keep Moving Forward, and Recovered Assets, along with more than a dozen mission challenges. Game Update 1.1.1 (August 28, 2026) followed with backend work on the online systems the achievements depend on, including changes to the unlock logic on every platform, after players kept reporting awards that would not fire. On Steam the roster is 37 achievements; the Platinum trophy has no Steam equivalent.5555Related Articles5757CollectiblesTactical Simulation ModeCombat SystemQ Branch Gadgets5959October Unlock Repairs6161Update 1.3.0 repaired the PS5 Platinum failing after all other trophies were earned and For Your Eyes Only failing with Intel progress stuck at 22/23. On PC Game Pass, What if..? could fail after a TacSim Operation; that was also fixed. The patch corrected Keep moving forward unlocking unexpectedly after an internet disconnection. These are unlock repairs rather than additions to the trophy roster.6363New Game+ was released on October 1, 2026, alongside 00 Difficulty. Its completion gate is finishing the campaign on any difficulty; the update announcement does not add a new trophy requirement to the protected roster above.
