Xbox Achievements Get Overdue Update To Address Feedback
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Xbox is introducing an update to its achievement system, currently being tested by Xbox Insiders, aimed at refreshing the Gamerscore experience based on fan feedback under new leadership by Asha Sharma.
- The update includes improved animations and icons for achievement notifications, the ability to hide certain games from the achievements list, and a new list highlighting games completed 100%.
- These changes are designed to help players, especially those using Game Pass, manage their achievement lists more effectively and reduce clutter.
- While these tweaks enhance the user experience, they are unlikely to dramatically change Xbox's overall platform momentum, which has been impacted by PlayStation 5’s rising popularity.
- Xbox achievements maintain a unique advantage by allowing players to earn points redeemable for real money on the Xbox store, a feature Sony’s trophy system has yet to replicate successfully.
