Xbox Mythic Achievements Are Finally Here, Including for Games You Already Completed

Microsoft has officially introduced Mythic Achievements, a new Xbox completion system that rewards players for earning every original achievement in a game, with the feature now rolling out to Xbox Insiders.

Starting September 29, the feature is rolling out first to Xbox Insiders, giving players an early look at one of Xbox‘s most requested achievement features.

A Mythic Achievement is awarded when you unlock all of a game’s original achievements. Importantly, achievements added later through DLC or post-launch updates are not required.

Once Mythic status has been earned, players will also keep it permanently, even if additional achievements are added later.

Your Old Xbox Completions Can Already Be Mythic

Microsoft has made the system retroactive, meaning eligible games you’ve already completed can automatically receive Mythic status.

This includes Xbox 360 games, so longtime achievement hunters may already have a collection of Mythic completions waiting for them when the feature reaches their profile.

Mythic games are highlighted with a special heroic frame in achievement history.

Xbox profiles are also getting a new Gaming tab, bringing together achievements, completed games and progress toward the next Gamerscore milestone badge. Players can visit their friends’ Gaming tabs as well to see which games they’ve taken to Mythic.

Xbox Makes Completion Tracking Easier

Games that haven’t yet reached Mythic status now display a progress bar showing how close players are to completing the required original achievement list.

Players can filter the list to focus specifically on achievements still required for Mythic, while achievements introduced later are clearly marked as “add-on.”

Similar progress information will also appear throughout the Xbox interface, including the Guide and individual Achievement details.

For now, Mythic Achievements are available to Xbox Insiders, with Microsoft gathering feedback before the feature receives a wider rollout.
