Xbox has revealed Mythic Achievements, its answer to PlayStation's Platinum Trophy. The feature became available the same day for players in the Xbox Insider program.
Mythics are earned by completing all the original achievements in a game. Extra achievements added later through updates do not count and will not remove a game's Mythic status.
🔍 The Backstory
The announcement came a week after Xbox revealed more layoffs and studio closures, including shutting down Ninja Theory. Xbox is also a target of the BDS boycott movement.
A new Gaming tab on player profiles will track Gamerscore and achievements. Mythics get a special heroic frame, and each game will show a progress bar. Xbox has not yet listed which games are eligible, but Xbox 360 titles may be included.
🎯 Why It Matters
Achievements are a big part of gaming for many players. A new top-level award gives completionists a new goal and makes their hard work more visible.
