Post-Game Unlockables

Access new content and challenges after beating Beyond: Two Souls. This guide details all post-game unlockables and how to find them for further narrative insi.

Congratulations, Jodie! Surviving the trials of Beyond: Two Souls is no small feat. But the journey doesn't truly end with the credits. A wealth of new content, challenges, and perspectives awaits those who delve back into Jodie's extraordinary life. This section details all the exciting post-game unlockables and how to access them, ensuring you squeeze every last drop of narrative and gameplay from this unique experience.

Chapter Select & Replay Options

Upon completing the game for the first time, the "Chapter Select" option becomes available from the Main Menu. This is your primary hub for exploring all post-game content.

• Accessing Chapter Select: From the Main Menu, navigate to "Play Game" and then select "Chapter Select."
• Individual Chapter Replay: You can now replay any chapter you wish. This is crucial for discovering missed collectibles, experiencing different dialogue choices, and aiming for alternative endings.
• Saving Progress: When replaying chapters, you'll be prompted if you wish to overwrite your existing save data. Be mindful of this if you're trying to preserve a specific story path. For trophy hunting or exploring new choices, it's often best to allow overwriting to track new outcomes.
