I. Your Path to WWE 2K24 Platinum: A Trophy Roadmap
Embark on the journey to conquer WWE 2K24 and claim its coveted Platinum trophy. This comprehensive guide provides a detailed roadmap, ensuring you unlock every achievement efficiently and effectively. Whether you’re a seasoned trophy hunter or a newcomer to the WWE 2K series, this guide will navigate you through each step, from game modes to specific challenges, maximizing your playtime and minimizing any potential roadblocks.
- Estimated Trophy Difficulty: 4/10
- Approximate Platinum Time: 50+ Hours
- Offline Trophies: 49 (0, 1, 2, 46)
- Online Trophies: 14 (1, 0, 1, 12)
- Total Trophies: 63 (1, 1, 3, 58)
- Missable Trophies: 3. Within “MyRISE,” choices impact trophy acquisition. Selecting The Miz ( An Awesome Decision) or NXT ( A Trip To Orlando) are mutually exclusive. Similarly, aligning with Dominik Mysterio ( Getting Dirty With Dom) or Lita ( Team Extreme) presents another choice. “MyRISE” also contains A Real Psycho which can be missed if optional storylines are not completed. Utilize save backups before key decisions to secure all branching trophies in a single playthrough, or replay storylines to obtain the remaining ones.
- Glitched Trophies: Currently, no known glitches affect trophy acquisition.
- Difficulty Dependent Trophies: Yes. Normal difficulty is required for most trophies. Legend difficulty is mandatory for: 2,803 Days, Closed Casket, No Visiting Hours, True Resilience & Rise of the Megastar.
- Minimum Playthroughs for Platinum: 2.5 “MyRISE” playthroughs are recommended due to branching storylines and exclusive male/female content.
- PS4/PS5 Autopop & Save Transfer: No save transfer for full autopop. However, “MyFACTION” stats carry over between PS4 and PS5 versions.
- PS4/PS5 Crossbuy: Yes, available with Cross-Gen Edition, Deluxe Edition, or Forty Years of WrestleMania Edition.
- Release Date: March 5th, 2024 (Deluxe & Forty Years of WrestleMania Editions) / March 8th, 2024 (Standard & Cross-Gen Editions).
II. Getting Started: Your WWE 2K24 Trophy Journey
Welcome to the ring! WWE 2K24 builds upon its predecessors, offering refinements across all game modes, enhanced customization, and engaging gameplay. “MyFACTION” returns, allowing you to construct your dream wrestling faction by collecting, managing, and upgrading WWE Superstars through dynamic updates and weekly events. The fan-favorite General Manager mode, “MyGM,” also makes a comeback, empowering you to book shows, draft talent, manage contracts, and control finances in your quest for television dominance.
This trophy guide is structured to provide a streamlined path to platinum. While the steps below offer a suggested order, feel free to tackle game modes based on your preference. To tailor the gameplay difficulty for trophy hunting, especially in the initial stages, consider adjusting game settings.
Recommended Gameplay Settings for Easier Trophies
Navigate to “Options” from the main menu, then “Gameplay,” and apply these settings:
- Difficulty: Easy (Note: Some trophies require Normal or Legend difficulty as specified)
- Weight Detection: Simulation
Under the “Balancing” tab, reduce all AI settings to 0/100 to minimize opponent aggressiveness. For “Advanced” settings, configure:
- Rope Break: Auto
- Pin Escape: Auto
- Submission Escape: Auto
- COM Reversal Limit: Unlimited
- Finisher Strength: 100/100
Customize other settings to your liking, as they won’t impact most trophy requirements outside of specific difficulty-related achievements. Note that these settings do not apply to “MyFACTION,” where gameplay parameters are preset.

III. Step-by-Step Trophy Roadmap for WWE 2K24 Platinum
This roadmap outlines an efficient order to tackle WWE 2K24’s trophies, mode by mode.
Step 1: Dominate in “MyGM” Mode
Initiate “MyGM” from the main menu. After the introductory sequence, select your General Manager and preferred show. For Extreme Rules, ensure you choose ECW as your brand. While actively playing “MyGM” is an option, simulation is viable for trophy completion. By the end of your “MyGM” run, aim to unlock:
- Zero to Hero
- Logistic Liaison
- Immortal Combat
- Trade Secrets
- Extreme Rules
For efficient resource management and to easily obtain Trade Secrets, exploit the in-game trading mechanics. Every five weeks, when trades become available, ensure other brands have accumulated close to $1 million. Initiate a trade where you offer a minimal amount (e.g., $1) and request all of their funds in return. This tactic allows you to amass significant capital from Week 6 onwards. Utilize this financial advantage to rapidly upgrade facilities and logistics, maximizing income and fan engagement throughout your “MyGM” season.
Step 2: Relive History in “Showcase” Mode
Select “Showcase” from the main menu to delve into 40 Years of WrestleMania. This story mode features 21 iconic WrestleMania matches spanning from 1987 to 2023. Your objective is to complete each match while fulfilling all listed objectives to earn The Ultimate Challenge. Each match contains 10-15 objectives that must be completed within a single attempt as progress isn’t saved mid-match. Completing “Showcase” mode will reward you with:
- Where it All Begins… Again
- Bigger. Better. Badder.
- What the World is Watching
- The Ragin’ Climax
- All Grown Up
- The Ultimate Challenge

Step 3: Conquer “Universe” Mode
Navigate to “Universe” from the main menu and select “Classic Mode”. In the calendar, advance to the Money in the Bank PPV in July. Check the match card to identify the current champion. Skip to the RAW show immediately following Money in the Bank, review the match listings, select the Championship match, choose “Announce Cash-In,” and win the match to complete the Classic Mode objectives.
Next, switch to “Superstar Mode”. Select any superstar for your playthrough. Unlike Classic Mode, matches in Superstar Mode cannot be simulated. However, to expedite trophy acquisition, utilize a second controller to control your opponent, allowing for swift match conclusions. Completing “Universe” mode will net you:
- Square Up
- Trail Blazer
- Cash-In Ringer
- On a Roll
- Get Lost
Step 4: Navigate “MyRISE” Mode
Select “MyRISE” from the main menu. This mode, the evolution of “MyCAREER,” requires character creation at the outset. To obtain all “MyRISE” related trophies, you will need approximately 2.5 playthroughs – one male (Undisputed) and one female (Unleashed) storyline. “MyRISE” has fifteen unique trophies. Crucially, multiple playthroughs are not needed for each set of storyline-specific trophies. All “Unleashed” (women’s) trophies are obtainable in a single run. A partial second run of “Undisputed” (men’s) may be necessary to cover branching story choices, but full completion is not required if managed correctly. “MyRISE” completion will unlock:
- Team Extreme
- Getting Dirty with Dom
- The Gold Standard
- Disputed No More
- An Awesome Decision
- A Trip To Orlando
- Sign on the Dotted Line
- The Gripe Bomb
- Bad Times Don’t Last, Bad Guys Do
- Manifest Destiny
- The A-Lister
- A Real Psycho
- It’s a Woman’s World (Championship)
- The Beginning of the Future
- Undeniable
Step 5: Dive into “MyFACTION” Mode
Select “MyFACTION” from the main menu. Note: This mode necessitates an active internet connection. “MyFACTION” tasks you with building a dominant wrestling stable by collecting, managing, and enhancing WWE Superstars through card packs, updates, and weekly events. Fortunately, the time commitment is less intensive compared to previous iterations. Completing key “MyFACTION” objectives will unlock:
- Loyalty Confirmed
- Taste of Victory
- A Promising Start
- Journey of a Lifetime
- A Good Start
- Weekly Winner
- Daily Progress
- Chapter and Verse
- Champion For A Day
- Never Felt More A-LIVE
- Beginner’s Luck
For players seeking to autopop trophies on different PlayStation versions (PS4/PS5), simply complete one match in any “MyFACTION” mode after transferring your save to unlock the corresponding trophies on the alternate console.
Step 6: Miscellaneous Trophies and Cleanup in “Play” Mode
If you haven’t explored the “Play” Mode yet, now is the time. The remaining trophies are primarily earned within this mode and can be obtained relatively quickly, within 5-6 hours. Completing this step will finalize your trophy collection, unlocking the Platinum.
