Microsoft is introducing a new tier of completionist rewards that allow players to showcase their total game mastery on their profiles.
Microsoft is preparing to launch "Mythic Achievements," a new feature designed to serve as an equivalent to PlayStation's platinum trophies, according to reporting from The Verge.
Data discovered in a recent update to the Xbox PC app indicates that Mythic Achievements will be granted to players who successfully complete every achievement within a specific game. These rewards will feature a distinct unlock sound and will be trackable via the Xbox dashboard. To further emphasize the status of these rewards, players will have the ability to display their total Mythic count on their user profiles.
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma previously indicated last month that the platform would receive a platinum trophy equivalent by the end of the year. While Microsoft has not yet issued an official announcement regarding the feature, The Verge notes that Xbox Insider testers have already observed references to the system in early dashboard versions.
The emergence of Mythic Achievements in the Xbox PC app coincided with a series of significant corporate shifts. On the same day the feature appeared, Microsoft announced the layoff of 268 Xbox employees and the transition of the *Halo*, *Age of Empires*, and *Sea of Thieves* franchises over to Activision, while likely closing Ninja Theory.
