How to unlock every GTA 5 Achievement or Trophy

Unlocking every GTA 5 Achievement or Trophy is going to take a lot of work, which is why it's handy to have a guide such as this to hand so you can collect an impressive amount of Xbox Gamerscore or PlayStation silverware. There's a huge world across Los Santos and Blaine County that you'll need to conquer, and finishing the main story is only the start of it, with plenty of tasks that need completing across both GTA 5 and GTA Online. To get that fabled 1000G or final Platinum Trophy you need to sample everything the game has to offer, which can feel like an overwhelming challenge at first, so we're here to guide you through it with a complete GTA 5 Achievement and Trophy list.
