Xbox Testing 'Mythic' Achievements in Apparent Answer to PlayStation's Platinum Trophies
A new feature spotted in the Xbox PC app suggests Microsoft is preparing a top-tier reward for players who complete every achievement in a game.
Xbox appears to be preparing its own equivalent of PlayStation's platinum trophy system, according to The Verge, after a new feature was discovered in the Xbox PC app.
Data found within the app reveals a feature called Mythic achievements, which is set to be awarded once a player completes every achievement available in a given game.
According to the report, Mythic achievements will appear on screen accompanied by a unique unlock sound distinct from Xbox's existing achievement notifications, marking them out as a special tier of recognition.
The addition would bring Xbox's achievement system closer in spirit to PlayStation's platinum trophies, which are awarded to players who unlock every trophy associated with a game and have become a well-known badge of completion within the gaming community.
Microsoft has not formally announced the feature, and further details on its rollout, including which games or platforms will support it, remain unconfirmed.
