There has been a lot of hype surrounding the Guardians of the Galaxy game, and now that it’s arrived, you can start hunting for trophies and achievements in the game (depending on your platform of choice, of course).
Whether you’re working towards a Platinum trophy on PS4 or PS5, or simply ticking off all the achievements on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S or PC, there are plenty of little tasks here to keep you entertained for hours. It’s only Nintendo Switch users that will have to do without, since there’s still no achievements system on the console.

How long would it take to earn the Guardians of the Galaxy game Platinum trophy?
We’d estimate that you could earn the Platinum trophy in the Guardians of the Galaxy game in under 25 hours.
You could, in theory, do it all in one playthrough, but we’d predict that most players will not – it’s more likely that you’ll want to nip back into chapters multiple times to pick up every single outfit, lore dump and resource. It should be fun, though!
