Xbox’s Long-Awaited Platinum Trophy Equivalent Leaks Online

Microsoft’s Xbox is reportedly one step away from unveiling its own answer to PlayStation’s celebrated Platinum Trophy, a milestone that has long been teased but never fully delivered. According to a new report from TrueAchievements, the feature — dubbed “Mythic Achievements” — is set to arrive via an upcoming update to the Xbox PC App, potentially before the end of the month. The system mirrors the PlayStation model: players unlock a Mythic once they complete every base achievement in a game, while challenges introduced through downloadable content or patch updates are deliberately excluded from the tally. The confirmation comes after Xbox CEO Asha Sharma publicly promised a Platinum Trophy equivalent earlier this year, lending credibility to the leak.

The details emerged when users spotted the feature’s logo and its accompanying sound cue embedded within the latest Xbox PC App update. Beyond the visual and audio markers, the update reportedly introduces a dedicated filter that lets players track their Mythic progress at a glance, highlighting exactly which milestones remain outstanding. Notably, Mythic Achievements carry no Gamerscore value — the platform’s traditional metric for measuring achievement progress — signaling that the feature is designed as a completionist badge rather than a points-earning mechanism. Once unlocked, the achievement triggers a visible change: game art displayed in the Gaming tab will render with the Mythic logo and a green border. According to TrueAchievements, the update will also award Mythic Achievements retroactively, meaning players who have already finished games may receive recognition for work they completed long ago.

A Gaming Tab Overhaul and Insider Confirmation

The Mythic feature appears to be part of a broader refresh of the Xbox profile experience. TrueAchievements indicates that the upcoming update will overhaul the Gaming tab to surface richer statistics, including total Gamerscore, the number of achievements unlocked, and the count of Mythic Achievements earned. This expansion of profile data suggests Microsoft is investing in a more comprehensive, data-driven approach to player engagement across its console and PC ecosystems. The leak’s reliability was further bolstered when the Mythic Achievement filter reportedly surfaced on Xbox Insider accounts earlier, offering a second layer of verification beyond the initial PC App discovery.

A Platinum Trophy equivalent was on the way this year.

Asha Sharma, Xbox CEO

Sharma’s earlier comments have now seemingly been validated by the concrete evidence surfacing online. The combination of the PC App update, the Insider filter, and the CEO’s public promise paints a picture of a feature that has moved from concept to imminent reality. For the community, the timing is particularly notable, as the introduction of Mythic Achievements arrives during a period of significant turbulence for the company.

Looking Ahead

The introduction of Mythic Achievements may offer a welcome change of pace for Microsoft, which has navigated a stretch of difficult public relations in recent months. Five months ago, the company announced it was laying off 1,600 employees immediately, with another 1,600 cuts scheduled for the following fiscal year. On September 22, Xbox laid off an additional 268 employees and announced plans to consolidate several teams, bringing Halo under Activision, moving Obsidian under Bethesda, and combining the studios behind Forza and Fable. The company also indicated that Ninja Theory would likely close, as the studio had not secured a new backer after Microsoft divested from the team alongside Double Fine, Compulsion Games, Undead Labs, and potentially Arkane Studios. Against this backdrop, a feature that celebrates player dedication and completion could serve as a reassuring reminder of the platform’s commitment to its community — even as Xbox has clearly seen better times.
