Xbox CEO Asha Sharma Shares 'First Look' At Unlocking The Mythic In Gears Of War: E-Day
Xbox has introduced a new 'Mythic Achievement' feature that rewards players for completing every original achievement in a game. The feature is currently in testing for Insider members and will be applied retroactively to previous Xbox console generations.
Why it matters
This update gamifies the completionist experience for Xbox users, potentially increasing player engagement and retention across the platform's extensive back catalog.
In case you missed the news, Xbox has officially announced the arrival of Mythic Achievements today (as part of the Insider program for now), serving as a way to celebrate completing every "original" Xbox achievement in a single game.
But what exactly can you expect once you unlock a Mythic? Well, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has taken to social media to show off a clip of unlocking the Mythic in Gears of War: E-Day , which requires ticking off all 55 achievements.
As you can see from the clip below, the Mythic still shows up like a normal Xbox achievement at the bottom of the screen, but it comes with its own logo and sound clip to highlight the occasion.
