Playing the many games on our list of upcoming Game Pass games could feel a little more rewarding in the coming months, as three big features are being worked on for Xbox achievements. The changes are currently being tested by Xbox Insiders, but if things go to plan, we should see them roll out to everyone in the coming months.
Check out he linked story above for more information, but essentially, Microsoft is currently testing new Xbox achievements icons and animations, as well as new systems for your achievements page. Once the update rolls out, you’ll be able to highlight your completed games, hide games from your profile, and even filter your achievements list to only show the games you’ve mastered.
They are some pretty substantial changes for a system that has long been ignored by Microsoft, and will hopefully be the start of a new focus for the company. Xbox achievements need some serious work to return to the system’s glory days on Xbox 360, but any step forward is a great one in my book.
