The achievements list of Alan Wake 2 is pretty surprising since it is not as hard or grindy as its predecessor. You can actually obtain all of the trophies in a single playthrough if you collect each and every collectible. Since I’m playing the game on my PS5, I’ll be listing the trophies, but the method of unlocking these trophies is the same as the achievements on PC and Xbox.
- There are 67 trophies on PS5 and 66 total achievements on PC and Xbox Series X/S for Alan Wake 2.
- Most of the trophies/achievements get unlocked as you play through the main campaign.
- If you want to get 100% completion in a single run, then keep collecting all of the collectibles as well.
- On average, it will take around 25-30 Hours to achieve 100% completion or earn the Platinum Trophy for Alan Wake 2.
How To Unlock All Trophies In Alan Wake 2
There are a total of 66 trophies and achievements, and getting all of these will unlock the Platinum Trophy on PS5 or 1000 Gamerscore on Xbox Series X/S. Surprisingly, all of the trophies on PlayStation are of bronze rarity except one, and there are no gold rarity trophies additionally.

My Thoughts
Personally, I’m glad that Remedy has decided to refine their trophy list since Alan Wake 1 demanded so much grind that I never achieved the Platinum Trophy in that title. But, the Alan Wake 2 Platinum Trophy hits the sweet spot difficulty where it’s neither too grindy/boring nor too easy, and it looks like it’ll be fun to achieve 100% completion.
That does it for my trophies/achievements list and what you need to do in order to unlock them. You can now purchase the two different digital editions of Alan Wake 2 but without the pre-order bonuses. It is a huge survival horror with a big mission list.
