In Phasmophobia, players can unlock a total of 54 achievements, and 55 trophies including the Platinum for PS5. Earning all of them will earn you the coveted Achievement Hunter ID Card and Badge for your character. While some achievements require specific strategies, the easiest and most effective way to unlock most of them is by playing with friends. They can help you set up equipment faster, offer second opinions on ghost identities, and facilitate the ghost behaviors needed for certain achievements.

Without further ado, here’s a comprehensive list of all current achievements in the game, along with the best tips on how to unlock each one.
