007 First Light puts you in the shoes of a young James Bond before he became the spy the franchise made famous. IO Interactive's first crack at the license brings 38 trophies on PlayStation and 37 achievements on Xbox and Steam, and the list is genuinely approachable compared to most action games. 007 First Light sits comfortably in the adventure games category, and if you've played IO's Hitman trilogy, you'll recognize the design philosophy: reward players who experiment, explore, and push the combat system to its limits.
How many trophies are in 007 First Light?
There are 38 trophies on PlayStation and 37 achievements on Xbox and Steam. The difference comes down to the Platinum trophy, which PlayStation has and Xbox does not. The Platinum is called "The name's Bond. James Bond" and requires collecting every other trophy in the game.
The list splits into 20 visible trophies and 18 hidden ones. The hidden trophies contain story spoilers tied directly to campaign missions, so if you want to go in blind, you can safely skip that section and still earn them all naturally by finishing the story.
Full trophy list overview
All non-hidden trophies and how to get them
These 20 trophies are visible from the start and cover collectables, combat tricks, and TacSim challenges. None of them require a second playthrough, but a few demand specific timing during combat encounters.
Collectable trophies
"A collector's habit" is the Gold trophy that ties all of the above together. You won't earn it until every postcard, MI6 file, memento, playing card, and legacy item is accounted for. Treat it as a natural byproduct of thorough exploration rather than a separate goal.
Legacy items are a separate collectable category from the standard four. Keep an eye out for them specifically, since players who sweep for postcards and playing cards sometimes miss the legacy item locations entirely.
Combat trick trophies
These eight Bronze trophies reward creative use of the game's combat systems. Most require specific situational setups, so knowing what to look for ahead of time saves a lot of frustration.
"Positively shocking" requires enemy-on-enemy taser contact, which means you need at least two enemies with tasers in the same area. Don't attempt it in sections where the encounter design doesn't support it or you'll burn through the opportunity.

TacSim trophies
TacSim appears to be 007 First Light's challenge mode, offering structured combat scenarios with escalating difficulty tiers.
"The readiness is all" is the hardest non-hidden trophy in the list. Tier 3 Escalations in TacSim will test your mastery of the combat system. If you're curious how long grinding through TacSim and the full campaign will take, check out our guide on how long 007 First Light takes to beat.
TacSim is separate from the main campaign, so you can return to it after finishing the story without any progression locked behind narrative gates.
All hidden trophies (spoilers ahead)
All 18 hidden trophies are tied to campaign story beats. If you complete the main story, every one of these will unlock naturally. They're listed here for players who want to track progress or understand what specific missions unlock.
Story trophy unlocking mid-mission
"For king and country" is the only Gold trophy in the hidden list and involves defending MI6, which positions it as a late-game climax. "Solo" is worth flagging separately since leaving MI6 as a rogue agent suggests a branching story decision rather than a linear mission beat.
"Solo" may require a specific choice during the campaign rather than just playing through normally. Watch for decision points that affect Bond's allegiance, and save before making them if your platform allows manual saves.
Is the Platinum trophy easy to get?
The trophy list is on the accessible end of the spectrum. There are no difficulty-locked trophies mentioned in the source material, no online-only requirements (007 First Light is a single-player game), and the hidden trophies all unlock through normal story progression. The main time investment comes from tracking down every collectable category and clearing TacSim's tier 3 Escalation.
With 38 trophies total and a campaign that covers Malta, Slovakia, a nightclub assignment, and a penthouse infiltration, this is a focused list that rewards players who engage with every system the game offers rather than rushing through cutscenes.
