The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

A single-player RPG Platinum with no online requirements.

PS5 51 base-game trophies

Reason

Across all releases—whether you are playing on PS3, PS4 (Special Edition), or PS5 (Anniversary Edition)—Skyrim is a purely single-player RPG with zero online multiplayer requirements, forced network checks, or social features.

  • Zero Online Trophies: All 51 base-game trophies (1 Platinum, 1 Gold, 14 Silver, 35 Bronze) are tracked and earned locally on your console.

  • Watch Out for Missable Trophies: The primary challenge when aiming for the Platinum offline is navigating missable quests:

  • “Oblivion Walker”: You must collect 15 Daedric Artifacts in a single playthrough. Failing specific dialogue choices, killing quest-givers prematurely, or picking the wrong reward choice during Daedric quests can permanently lock you out of this trophy.

  • “War Hero”: This Civil War trophy requires capturing Fort Sungard or Fort Greenwall. Completing the main story quest “Season Unending” before finishing the Civil War storyline can bypass these specific fort captures.

  • Do Not Use Mods: Installing community mods disables trophy progression on PlayStation systems. Make sure you play the unmodded base game to earn trophies.

  • DLC Trophies Are Optional: The expansion packs (Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn) have separate trophy sub-lists and are not required to unlock the base Platinum trophy.
