Xbox introduces Mythic Achievement system

Overview

Microsoft has officially introduced Mythic Achievements for Xbox, a recognition system designed to celebrate players who complete all original achievements in a game. Currently available to Xbox Insiders for testing, a global rollout is expected in the coming weeks.

Designed as an equivalent to PlayStation’s Platinum Trophies, Mythic status is earned by completing the ‘BaseGame’ group of achievements. Requirements exclude content added later via DLC or updates, ensuring the goal remains a fixed target. Once unlocked, the status is permanent and is visually distinguished by a unique heroic frame in the player’s achievement list, accompanied by a specific icon and a unique 15-second audio cue.

The rollout includes a redesigned Gaming tab within the Xbox profile. This new interface allows users to track achievement history, monitor progress toward Gamerscore milestones, and view the Mythic status of friends. Achievement pages will now feature a progress bar indicating how close a player is to reaching Mythic status, alongside the ability to filter for necessary original achievements.

As previously anticipated, the system is expected to be applied retroactively, allowing players who have already achieved 100% completion in existing titles—including those from the Xbox 360 era—to automatically receive Mythic status. These accolades are expected to carry 0 Gamerscore, serving as a prestige marker rather than a point-based reward.
