Xbox is developing a new feature that will provide an achievement equivalent to the PlayStation Platinum trophy, according to a recent statement from CEO Asha Sharma. The addition aims to address a long-standing request from the player base for a specific reward upon completing every achievement in a game.
What the New Achievement System Means
Currently, Xbox achievements contribute to a cumulative Gamer Score, and while the platform marks a game as "completed" once all achievements are earned, there is no distinct, named final trophy or badge awarded for the feat. The upcoming change is intended to provide a sense of finality to the achievement-hunting process, similar to how PlayStation users earn a Platinum trophy for unlocking all other trophies in a title.
Quick Facts
- Status: Under development, confirmed by CEO Asha Sharma.
- Timeline: Expected to roll out later in 2026.
- Context: The announcement arrives alongside a wave of new features for Xbox consoles, including group-chat audio in gameplay clips and enhanced achievement sorting.
The confirmation comes as part of a broader push to iterate faster on the console experience under Sharma’s leadership. The current testing phase for Xbox Insiders also includes features such as cloud-based save restoration and expanded wishlist capacity, allowing for up to 1,000 entries. As with previous platform updates, these features are being tested by Xbox Insiders before a wider release.
