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
| Trophy Name | Rarity | What You Need |
|---|---|---|
| The world is not enough | Silver | Collect all postcards |
| For your eyes only | Silver | Unlock all MI6 files |
| Recovered assets | Silver | Collect all mementos |
| Casino Royale | Silver | Collect all playing cards |
| A collector's habit | Gold | Find all collectables |
| A Legacy of spycraft | Silver | Discover all legacy items |
"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.
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.
| Trophy Name | Rarity | What You Need |
|---|---|---|
| Soft landing | Bronze | Tackle an enemy over a ledge |
| Sleight of hand | Bronze | Disarm an enemy by shooting a weapon from their hand |
| Positively shocking | Bronze | Make an enemy taser another enemy |
| Short fuse | Bronze | Shoot at an enemy while he's throwing a grenade |
| He'll live | Bronze | Knock out an enemy by shooting him in the legs |
| Firestarter | Bronze | Push an enemy into a fire extinguisher |
| Damp squib | Bronze | Hack a grenade before it explodes |
| Disarming personality | Bronze | Disarm an enemy with a laser |
| Always have an exit plan | Bronze | Use a gadget to escape a confrontation |

TacSim trophies
TacSim appears to be 007 First Light's challenge mode, offering structured combat scenarios with escalating difficulty tiers.
| Trophy Name | Rarity | What You Need |
|---|---|---|
| What if…? | Silver | Complete an operation in TacSim |
| A Change of pace | Silver | Complete an Escalation in TacSim |
| Keep moving forward | Silver | Achieve clearance level 3 |
| The readiness is all | Gold | Beat tier 3 of an Escalation in TacSim |
"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.
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
| Trophy Name | Rarity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Icebreaker | Bronze | Survive the helicopter crash |
| Shaken not stirred | Bronze | Complete your first assignment at the nightclub |
| From Malta with love | Bronze | Complete your training as a recruit in Malta |
| All time high | Bronze | Infiltrate Nicholas Webb's penthouse |
| Agent under fire | Bronze | Escape in the bin lorry |
| You only live twice | Silver | Defeat the assassin |
| A hard man to kill | Bronze | Survive an assassination attempt |
| Trigger Mortis | Silver | Escape the ambush alive |
| Nobody lives forever | Bronze | Find 009's body |
| I expect you to die | Bronze | Survive the explosion at the hotel in Slovakia |
| Skyfall | Silver | Jump out of a plane in Slovakia |
| Win, lose or die | Bronze | Win the auction |
| You know my name | Silver | Defeat Damien Webb |
| Double or die | Bronze | Save Theresa Lorca |
| No time to die | Silver | Escape by helicopter |
| For king and country | Gold | Defend MI6 |
| The writing is on the wall | Silver | Catch Isola |
| Solo | Bronze | Leave MI6 as a rogue agent |
"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.
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.
