Platinum Trophy
Collect all 64 trophies in WWE 2K23 to unlock the prestigious platinum trophy! It won‘t be an easy milestone, but this guide should help you knock down the trophies across different game modes.
The MyFACTION mode will take patience building your card collection. MyRISE would need multiple playthroughs to complete all story chapters. And mastering gameplay on Legendary difficulty will test your wrestling skills.
But the sense of accomplishment after getting 100% trophies makes it worth the effort for trophy hunters and WWE fans.
Here are some handy tips to fast-track your trophy collecting process in WWE 2K23:
Use accelerator boosts – MyFACTION accelerator boosts unlock all wrestlers, arenas etc saving tremendous grind time. Purchase these first.
Adjust game settings – Lowering match length, disabling reversals etc. speed up matches.
Target easy trophies first – Complete intro challenges, tutorial objectives, easy difficulty matches before tackling skill-based trophies.
Stack complementary trophies – Play through MyRISE chapters targeting related trophies simultaneously. Likewise combine gameplay trophies across matches.
Legendary is extremely hard – Don‘t get discouraged. Exploit every advantage possible – paybacks, weapons, distractions etc.
With these tips and following this WWE 2K23 trophy guide, you should be well on your way to trophy hunting glory!
