Xbox is introducing Mythic achievements, a new accomplishment tier that unlocks when players complete all achievements in a game. The feature mirrors PlayStation's long-standing Platinum trophy system.

An update to the Xbox PC app revealed the new Mythic achievements through app data. When unlocked, Mythic achievements trigger a unique sound notification and appear on player profiles. Key details: - Completion requirement: Players must unlock every achievement in a game - Profile display: Users can showcase their Mythic count on their Xbox dashboard - Tracking: Mythic achievements are trackable through the Xbox dashboard - Distinction: Each Mythic achievement features a distinctive unlock sound Xbox Insider testers have reportedly already gained access to the feature. This move brings Xbox's achievement system closer to PlayStation's trophy structure, which has featured Platinum trophies as the ultimate completion marker since 2008. The rollout timeline for general availability remains unclear.
