Microsoft Tests Refreshed Xbox Achievements With New Visuals and Profile Controls

The update enters testing before a wider release to all players.

Overview

  • Select Xbox Insiders began testing the Achievement updates on Wednesday, adding a visual refresh that matches each player's chosen UI color.
  • Notifications now use updated icons and animations for classic and rare unlocks to make each pop-up clearer and more personal.
  • Games finished at 100% are highlighted in the achievements list, and new filters let players quickly surface fully completed titles.
  • A hide-games option starts rolling out to Insiders later in April and only changes what appears on a public profile, so hidden titles still add to total Gamerscore and activity logs.
  • Microsoft frames the changes as fan-requested quality-of-life improvements built by a dedicated team, with features expanding to more Insiders over time and reaching all players later.
