Xbox May Finally Get Its Own Version Of PlayStation Platinum Trophies

Overview & Key Takeaways

Xbox may finally be getting its own version of the Platinum Trophy, according to an Alpha Skip-Ahead Xbox Insider

When players unlock all trophies on PlayStation, they receive a Platinum Trophy. On Xbox, players earn achievements instead, but there is currently no reward for getting all of a game's achievements. This might all be about to change, as an Xbox Insider reported that he recently saw a "Mythic Achievement" filter.

Players in the Xbox Insider program get access to beta features while they're still in testing, before the full release. It's thanks to these Insiders that we've gotten to know so much about the disc-to-digital program. Insider-only features aren't available to the wider public at first, so Insiders can test and help Xbox improve them.

Recently, an Insider in the Alpha Skip-Ahead tier was going through their achievements and selected the Filters option. They noticed that the Game Completion filters had an option for "Completed/Incomplete Mythic Achievement." Enabling this filter made only the games they had 100% completed appear on their achievements page. While Xbox has made no official announcement or blog post about Mythic Achievements, this makes it seem like they are Xbox's Platinum Trophy equivalent.

At the moment, Xbox has not publicly announced this addition to its achievement system or confirmed when it will be widely released. Polygon could also not find this filter when checking on our own Xbox Series X. We have contacted Xbox to confirm whether Mythic Achievements are in the works. If we get a response, we will update this post with new information.

Xbox’s New Mythic Achievements Take 15 Seconds To Tell You “Good Job”

Xbox Achievements have remained mostly the same since they were first introduced decades ago, but it looks like they're set to evolve slightly with the introduction of "Mythic" Achievements. Similar to PlayStation's platinum trophies, it looks like players will have to earn every Achievement in a game before they're awarded one of these. How do you know if you've earned this rare level of kudos on your PC or Xbox? Don't worry, unlocking a Mythic Achievement will result in your system rewarding you with a lot of digital fanfare. As spotted by Klobrille, unlocking a Mythic Achievement will trigger a lengthy animation and sound effect, running almost 15 seconds in total: https://twitter.com/klobrille/status/2102548362914365594 On the surface, it looks like adding a Mythic Achievement to your shelf is a sign that you've truly done everything there is to do in a game, so sitting back and enjoying the lengthy applause from your Xbox after you've poured hours into it makes sense. According to TrueAchievements(https://www.trueachievements.com/news/xbox-mythic-achievement), Mythic Achievements are worth zero Gamerscore and are tracked separately from your usual Achievements. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma had teased(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-version-of-playstation-platinum-trophy-teased-for-later-this-year/) the rollout of these new awards back in August, but it looks like they're rolling out during another bleak week at Xbox(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/all-the-major-xbox-changes-microsoft-announced-today-layoffs-halo-changing-hands-and-more/). As part of ongoing cuts, hundreds of people have been laid off across Xbox Game Studios, studio consolidation has resulted in various developers being grouped under new arms of Xbox, and things are not looking good for Ninja Theory(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ninja-theory-now-expected-to-close-as-deal-falls-apart/). Undead Labs has also found a new owner(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/state-of-decay-3-lives-on-and-is-still-coming-to-game-pass/)--that has not been officially revealed yet--but the move away from Xbox has resulted in downsizing at the State of Decay 3 developer.
