Introduction to Mythic Achievements

Microsoft has unveiled its new Mythic Achievements feature, set to enhance the gaming experience for Xbox users. This initiative serves as the Xbox counterpart to the well-known Platinum Trophies available on PlayStation. Currently, Xbox Insiders are trialing this feature, with a broader release expected in the upcoming weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Mythic Achievements reward players for completing all original achievements within an Xbox game. It is important to note that achievements added later through downloadable content (DLC) or subsequent title updates are not required for this accolade.

Historical Back-Compatibility

One of the most notable aspects of Mythic Achievements is their retroactive application. Players will find that all eligible games—dating back to the Xbox 360 era—are considered. This means that achievements spanning two decades of gaming history can now count towards this new recognition.

“You earn a Mythic Achievement when you complete all original achievements for a game. Achievements added later through DLC or updates aren’t required, and once you’ve earned Mythic status, it’s yours to keep.”

“Mythic Achievements have already been added to eligible games you completed in the past, including XBOX 360 titles. So, the next time you visit your profile, you may discover that some of your favorite games have already reached Mythic status.”

How to Check Your Mythic Achievements

Curious about how many Mythic Achievements you might have? Users can check their progress by visiting their Xbox profile, navigating to the gaming tab, and filtering for games marked as “Completed.” Any title showing 100% completion should be eligible for a Mythic Achievement in the near future.

However, players should be mindful that only “eligible” games will qualify, and the criteria for these exceptions from the past 20 years are yet to be fully clarified.

The gaming community is buzzing with excitement over this new feature. In a recent poll, users were asked how many Mythic Achievements they believe they will receive:

• None at all! (11%)
• Just a few (26.2%)
