Mixtape achievement guide: all trophies, Platinum and 100% roadmap.
This Mixtape achievement guide is built as a fast trophy guide and 100% checklist. It covers all Steam and Xbox achievements, the PlayStation Platinum route, chapter locations, cleanup notes, missable-style objectives, and the pages to open when you need a detailed route instead of a long replay.
Mixtape achievements and trophies: fast answer
Mixtape has 26 achievements on Steam and Xbox. The PlayStation version has 27 trophies including the Platinum. For a fast 100% route, play the story naturally, slow down during bedroom interaction scenes, then use Chapter Select to clean up timed challenges, cones, skipping stones, the video store objectives and the Chapter 29 party item trophy. The trophy to treat most carefully is Front To Back, because it depends on bedroom objects and unique conversations rather than one obvious minigame route.
Mixtape Platinum trophy and 100% roadmap
Use this section as the short version of the Mixtape trophy guide. It targets players searching for the Platinum trophy, all achievements, or the fastest 100% completion path.
Slow down in bedrooms
Bedroom interactions are the safest place to use a checklist. Look at objects, let conversations finish, and avoid leaving a room the moment a story prompt appears.
Replay short objectives later
Use Chapter Select for minigame trophies such as cones, skipping stones, timed assembly, painting, couch moving, leaves, slingshot cans and late-game collection tasks.
Recommended Mixtape 100% achievement route
This route keeps the story clean while still protecting the trophies that players usually search for later: Platinum, all achievements, Chapter Select cleanup, and the Front To Back interaction checklist.
Play the story naturally, but slow down in bedrooms
The story completion trophies unlock as you finish each character’s memory arc and then the final chapter. Most minigames are easy to replay later, but bedroom interaction cleanup is more delicate because it spans objects, conversations and room-specific details. When the game places you in a bedroom, walk the entire room, interact with anything that has a prompt, and exhaust dialogue before moving on.
Handle obvious one-chapter trophies as they appear
Some trophies are simple enough to grab during a first run without spoiling anything meaningful. Examples include French Connection in The Kiss, Grunge Metal Alchemist in Ultimate Slushie, Cone Island, Baby in Skate to Cassandra’s, Skim Gordon in Skipping Stones, and Triple Ply during the toilet paper chapter. If you miss one, do not restart the entire game; note the chapter and come back later.
Use Chapter Select for timed challenges
Timed or accuracy-based objectives are much less frustrating when treated as cleanup. Instructions Not Required, Paint it, Black, If You Want, Sofa King Fast, Leaves That Are Green, From The Hip, Well, Take A Look At You, and Banned In Massachusetts all benefit from knowing the route before you try for the unlock.
Finish with the late-game collection chapters
The video store and party chapters contain objectives that are easy to miss if you are simply following the story. Chapter 26 has both Doppelbanger and Tapehead Graveyard, while Chapter 29 has Fight For Your Right. These are good final cleanup targets because they are later in the game and have clear repeatable routes.
What to know before trophy hunting
The achievement list is friendly overall, but a few design details can trip up players who rush through the game.
Most cleanup is painless
Many Mixtape achievements are tied to one short chapter or one minigame. After finishing the relevant chapter, you can replay it and focus only on that objective. This keeps the game from becoming a long second-playthrough grind.
Front To Back needs patience
Front To Back is the trophy to respect. It asks you to find everything in the bedrooms and hear unique conversations. Do not sprint through rooms. Let dialogue finish, check corners, look at wall objects, and revisit characters after key interactions.
Guide capture needs music care
If you are recording achievement clips for YouTube or Twitch, remember that Mixtape uses licensed music and does not have a dedicated streamer mode. Consider setting Music Volume to 0 for guide footage if VOD safety matters.

Hardest Mixtape trophies and achievements to clean up
These are the achievements most likely to produce extra searches because they are easy to miss, time-sensitive, or unclear during a blind playthrough.
Front To Back
This is the trophy most likely to punish a rushed playthrough. Bedrooms are full of small objects, repeated conversations, and interactions that can be easy to skip if you leave as soon as the story prompt appears. Treat every room scene like a museum: look, talk, wait for dialogue to finish, and then look again.
Cone Island, Baby
The Chapter 11 cone route is short, but there are exactly 10 cones. If you miss one, there is no extra cone later to save the run. The overhead camera pair and the final cone are the key danger points, so use the dedicated guide before replaying.
Starlight Video and Party at the Ritz
Doppelbanger, Tapehead Graveyard, and Fight For Your Right are all late-game objectives that reward methodical movement. Do not rely on story progression to naturally collect every object; make a full pass through the space and confirm the unlock before leaving.
Steam achievements, Xbox achievements and PlayStation trophies
The core requirements are essentially the same, but search intent differs by platform: Steam players usually want all achievements, Xbox players want completion, and PlayStation players often want the Platinum trophy.
26 achievements
The Steam version lists 26 achievements. Use Steam Cloud if you switch between desktop and Steam Deck, and consider capturing screenshots of tricky scenes for your own reference before replaying a chapter.
26 achievements
Xbox achievement requirements match the main list. If you play through Game Pass, remember that subscription access is not the same as permanent ownership, so finish cleanup while the game is still in your library.
27 trophies
PlayStation includes the same core trophy requirements plus a Platinum trophy for earning the rest. That makes PS5 the preferred version for players who enjoy a final profile completion badge.
Common mistakes
Do not assume every trophy unlocks the moment you perform the action. Some unlock immediately, such as Grunge Metal Alchemist after the correct slushy is completed, while others can wait until the end of a section. Do not quit out too early if you are waiting on a chapter-end trigger. Also avoid stacking too many objectives on a first blind run. Mixtape works best when you let the story breathe. The smarter route is to play naturally, keep room interactions in mind, and then use Chapter Select to target short tasks such as Skim Gordon, Triple Ply, Don’t. Move., and From The Hip.
- Do not leave bedroom scenes without checking every object and conversation.
- Do not restart the entire game for a single minigame failure; use Chapter Select later.
- Do not confuse the PlayStation Platinum count with the Steam/Xbox achievement count.
- Do not record trophy clips with licensed music on if VOD safety or monetization matters.
Mixtape achievement guide FAQ
Short answers for achievement hunters, trophy hunters and Platinum players planning a 100% run.
How many achievements and trophies does Mixtape have?
Mixtape has 26 achievements on Steam and Xbox. PlayStation has 27 trophies when the Platinum trophy is included. The core requirements are the same across platforms, so a route written for achievements will also help trophy hunters.
Does Mixtape have a Platinum trophy?
Yes. The PlayStation version includes a Platinum trophy for earning the rest of the Mixtape trophies. Steam and Xbox use the same core achievement list but do not display a Platinum-style final trophy.
Is Mixtape hard to 100%?
No. Mixtape is a short narrative adventure, and most achievements are tied to one chapter or one simple minigame objective. The difficulty comes from knowing what to do before the scene ends, not from combat, grinding, or complicated build planning.
Can I clean up missed achievements with Chapter Select?
Yes, most single-chapter trophies can be replayed with Chapter Select. This is especially useful for timed challenges, traffic cones, skipping stones, video store objectives, and party item collection. For bedroom interaction completion, play carefully because the safest route is to be thorough during the main story.
Which trophy should I watch most carefully?
Front To Back deserves the most attention because it spans bedroom objects and unique conversations. Timed minigame trophies can be replayed, but missing room interactions can be more annoying because they are spread across different character spaces and dialogue states.
How long does the Platinum or 100% completion take?
A focused Mixtape achievement guide run is commonly about 3 to 4 hours. A blind story run followed by cleanup may take longer, especially if you replay several minigames or need to revisit late chapters for item collection.
