We have just picked up the Twisted Metal trophies, adding to a now substantial collection of trophies in classic PS1 games. The Twisted Metal PlayStation trophies list has 31 in total, none of which are hidden.

PS Plus Premium gets Twisted Metal a platinum trophy

Twisted Metal arrives as part of the PS Plus Extra and Premium new games for July 2023, alongside it's sequel. As part of its new lease on life as a feature of the Classics Catalog, the stone-cold PS1 legend has driven in with a full trophy list and a platinum. There really isn't much to talk about in the list itself, as it's pretty much all about finishing the game, winning with different characters, and killing other vehicles with different weapons.

If you want to talk about what on earth is happening in this David Jaffe-designed bit of gaming history, we have a whole lot more to tell you. The original PS1 game was released in 1995 and depicts a demolition derby competition set in a very dystopian LA — or, in other words, normal LA. The winner of the contest meets Calpyso, a legendary underground figure who organized this battle royale of automotive chaos. So, you drive those highly modified cars with silly guns and sillier characters driving them and blow everyone to bits! If you want any further reason to try this out, check out the trophy list below (and the trailer for the PS3 soft reboot).
