Cloud Playtime Now Available to Test with XBOX Insiders - XBOX Wire
Xbox is testing new achievement features for its Insider program, including updated notification designs and the ability to hide specific games from history. These updates aim to provide players with more control over their profile presentation and better recognition for completing games.
Why it matters
This update reflects a growing trend in gaming platforms to prioritize user customization and social expression within achievement systems.
Starting today, select Xbox Insiders can begin testing improvements to Achievements that make it easier to celebrate accomplishments and curate how they appear on profiles. New features include a refreshed look for achievement notifications, with updated icons and animations for classic and rare achievements, as well as notifications that match custom colors for a more personal experience. Later this month, Insiders will be able to hide any game from their Achievement history, offering greater control over how their accomplishments are presented, though hidden games will still count toward total Gamerscore and activity reporting.
