Xbox Rolls Out Mythic Achievements to Insiders

The feature gives players a permanent base‑game completion badge that adds progress tracking, retroactive awards, profile highlights

Overview

  • The feature began rolling out to Xbox Insiders on Tuesday, September 29, with testing confined largely to higher Insider rings such as Alpha and Alpha Skip‑Ahead.
  • A Mythic Achievement is awarded once a player earns every original, base‑game achievement for a title, and the Mythic status is permanent for that account.
  • Xbox says Mythics are being applied retroactively to eligible games, including some Xbox 360-era titles, though retroactive grants may not play the new unlock animation or toast.
  • New UI elements support the system: a Gaming tab on profiles, a per‑game progress bar that highlights remaining original achievements, and a heroic frame and unique sound for Mythic unlocks.
  • Microsoft has not published a full list of eligible games or a public release date, so broader rollout will depend on Insider feedback and the usual phased system update schedule; the change gives completionist players visible rewards and social signals across profiles.
