I Am Future: Cozy Apocalypse Survival packs 47 achievements into what looks like a chill rooftop survival game, and most players stop well short of the full list. The platinum sits at just 9.22% completion on PSNProfiles, which tells you the back half of this list has real teeth. This guide breaks down every achievement, flags the ones that will catch you off guard, and gives you a clear path through the trickier unlocks.
How many achievements does I Am Future have?
According to TrueAchievements, the game has 47 achievements worth a combined 1,000 Gamerscore on Xbox. The PS5 version carries 48 trophies (the extra one being the platinum) worth 1,350 points. As of April 2026, only 9 TrueAchievements players have completed the full list, and the PSNProfiles platinum rate sits at just 1.1% on PSN rarity.
The full list splits roughly into three categories: story-driven unlocks that come naturally, grind-based tasks you need to track actively, and a handful of missable or conditional achievements that require deliberate planning.
Story and NPC achievements
These are the ones you will pick up just by playing through the main narrative. None require special conditions, but you do need to progress far enough to trigger each NPC encounter.
Earl is the first NPC you encounter, which explains why Holy Macaroni! has the highest unlock rate in the game at 81.2%. The drop-off from there is steep. Fewer than a quarter of players ever bring Prospero to the roof, so treat the Amusement Park achievement as a rough checkpoint for your overall progress.
Prioritize recruiting all three NPCs before the housewarming party. The A Party to Remember! achievement requires all three present, so missing any one of them blocks that unlock entirely.
Exploration and expedition achievements
These reward you for pushing out into the world rather than staying on your roof.
- Off on an Expedition! (36.0% Rare) - Complete your first expedition.
- Magellan (10.8% Very Rare) - Unlock every expedition area.
- Odysseus (1.2% Ultra Rare) - Visit all points of interest.
- Bridge Builder (23.0% Rare) - Complete the bridge to the hotel roof.
- Teleportation (8.4% Very Rare) - Use a teleporter.
Odysseus is the single rarest non-platinum trophy on PSN at 1.2%, which suggests a lot of players miss points of interest entirely. Treat exploration as a dedicated session rather than something you do passively.
Smart Tower achievements
The Smart Tower has its own achievement chain tied to upgrades and modules.
- Strong Signal (25.4% Rare) - Upgrade the Smart Tower to level 2.
- Hedy Lamarr (12.0% Very Rare) - Upgrade the Smart Tower to level 4.
- How Do You Like That? (5.6% Very Rare) - Unlock all Smart Tower modules.
- Cyber Shaman (4.0% Ultra Rare) - Change the weather.
- Nikola Tesla (7.0% Very Rare) - Charge the Beacon.
The Smart Tower upgrades gate a lot of late-game content. Pushing it to level 4 for the Hedy Lamarr achievement also opens up systems needed for several other unlocks, so prioritize this upgrade path early.
Crafting, building, and tool achievements
These are the grind achievements. They require consistent effort across your playthrough rather than a single action.
Roofer sits at just 1.4% on PSN, which is lower than most players expect for what sounds like a basic task. The PSNProfiles forum has an active thread on this one specifically, suggesting the roof hole locations are easy to miss. Scan the entire roof area systematically rather than relying on visual cues.
Spring Cleaning requires disassembling every possible item on the office roof. Do this before you start building on that space, or you may overwrite items you needed to disassemble for the trophy.
Farming, fishing, and food achievements
The nature-based grind sits in its own category and has some of the more time-consuming unlocks.
- Farmer (25.4% Rare) - Grow 20 plants in garden beds.
- Pomona Sprout (5.3% Very Rare) - Grow every type of plant.
- Fisherman (27.0% Rare) - Catch 30 sea creatures.
- Old Man Santiago (5.0% Ultra Rare) - Catch every type of fish.
- Barista (3.8% Ultra Rare) - Make 10 cups of energizing coffee.
- Jamie's Restaurant (2.5% Ultra Rare) - Learn every food recipe.
- Energy Boost (9.8% Very Rare) - Eat an energy bar.
- Weed Warrior (23.9% Rare) - Pull up 100 infected weeds.
- Leech Lunch (20.2% Rare) - Let a leech eat something planted in a garden bed.
Barista is Ultra Rare at 3.8% despite only requiring 10 cups of coffee, which means either the recipe is locked behind progression most players never reach, or the coffee-making system is easy to overlook. Jamie's Restaurant at 2.5% is the hardest achievement in this category and one of the hardest in the game overall.

Economy and spending achievements
The game uses U-Coins as its currency, and two achievements track your total spending.
- Crypto Bro (22.9% Rare) - Spend 2,000 U-Coins anywhere cryptocurrency is accepted.
- Invest in Crypto (6.4% Very Rare) - Spend 20,000 U-Coins total.
- Empty Shelves (10.6% Very Rare) - Buy everything from one Ecomate.
- Wise Consumption (2.0% Ultra Rare) - Buy everything from all Ecomates.
Do not hoard U-Coins. Both the Crypto Bro and Invest in Crypto achievements require active spending, and Wise Consumption demands you clear out every Ecomate's stock. Spend consistently throughout your playthrough rather than saving for a specific purchase.
Friendship and social achievements
- Who's Your BFF (2.4% Ultra Rare) - Reach maximum friendship level with any NPC.
- Life of the Party (1.9% Ultra Rare) - Reach maximum friendship level with all NPCs.
Both are Ultra Rare, and Life of the Party at 1.9% is among the most difficult achievements in the game. Friendship progression requires sustained interaction with every NPC across your full playthrough. Treat it as a background goal you actively maintain rather than something to rush at the end.
What are the missable achievements in I Am Future?
Two achievements stand out as genuinely missable because they require you to avoid specific actions before a story checkpoint.
- Picky Eater (4.9% Ultra Rare) - Reach the housewarming party without eating biomass once.
- Tough Guy (16.3% Rare) - Finish housewarming party preparation without falling unconscious.
Both conditions apply to the period leading up to the housewarming party. If you eat biomass even once before that point, Picky Eater is gone for that playthrough. Falling unconscious at any point during preparation locks you out of Tough Guy. Plan your food and energy management carefully from the start.
Miscellaneous and secret achievements
A few achievements fall outside the main categories and are worth knowing about separately.
- Uppies! (50.6% Common) - Pick up a leech. One of the most commonly unlocked achievements in the game.
- Sleepyhead (11.1% Very Rare) - Sleep for 50 in-game hours.
- Archivist (1.7% Ultra Rare) - Open the entire library.
- Dataminer (2.6% Ultra Rare) - Enter the secret code in Audio Guide.
- Hold On, Wrong Game (2.9% Ultra Rare) - Wear a Dinkum Hat.
- Cyber Shaman (4.0% Ultra Rare) - Change the weather.
Dataminer requires entering a specific secret code in the Audio Guide, which explains its 2.6% rate. The code itself is not surfaced anywhere obvious in the game. Hold On, Wrong Game is a clear easter egg referencing the game Dinkum, and it sits at 2.9% because players simply do not know to look for the hat.
Achievement rarity at a glance
The game skews heavily toward the harder end. More than half the achievement list is Very Rare or Ultra Rare by PSN standards, which makes the 9.22% platinum rate make a lot more sense.
