Throughout Detroit: Become Human, there are 46 Magazines to collect – find them all and you’ll unlock the Bookworm trophy. However, it’s not possible to find them all during just one playthrough – one of the many things about the game that gives it so much replay value. Some of the magazines depend heavily on choices made throughout the game with each character, so while they always show up in the same locations, they don’t always contain the same articles. For instance: Article A will always remain the same regardless of choice, but Article B will change as a reflection of how you decide to play.
The idea here is grab what you can during your first playthrough, and then return to ‘clean up’ for any that you missed. Just remember that some of them require you to replay from the very beginning in order for your choices to count, and for the missed magazine to show up.
Jumping chapters inbetween won’t save your progress which, admittedly, makes the process all the longer. As soon as you find the magazine, you can quit out and find it in the Extras menu, and this still counts towards the trophy. If you’re going for the ones you missed based on your choices, though, we don’t recommend quitting out at all.
With that in mind, we list all the magazines in chapter order for your convenience, numbered and titled so that you can cross-reference them with any you already have.
