Overview
- Xbox CEO Asha Sharma said Wednesday that her team is "working on something for later this year" to add a Platinum-style completion reward that unlocks when a player finishes a game's achievement list.
- The confirmation came in a direct reply on X to a fan question and was reported by multiple outlets as a short, official acknowledgement rather than a full product announcement.
- Microsoft has not said how the reward will work in practice, leaving open whether it will be retroactive to older games, whether it will change Gamerscore totals, or how it will appear on player profiles.
- The feature will be trialed through the Xbox Insiders program alongside other recent platform changes, reflecting a faster cadence of updates under Sharma's leadership.
- The update answers a long-running request from the Xbox community and would be the biggest change to Xbox Achievements since 2005, prodding the system toward parity with PlayStation trophies that introduced a Platinum in 2008.
