Rumor: Microsoft Considering Platinum Trophy Equivalent for Xbox

Microsoft may add a PlayStation-style platinum trophy equivalent called “Mythic” to Xbox, which would be awarded for completing all other achievements in a game.

For many years, the Xbox achievement system has been built around increasing Gamerscore. Earning all the points in a game brought satisfaction, but there was no separate reward comparable to a PlayStation platinum trophy.

According to rumors, Microsoft plans to fix this by adding the “Mythic” achievement. It will likely be awarded for completing all other challenges provided in a specific game. Microsoft has not yet confirmed the name or how the system works, so this information should be considered unofficial.

An accolade of this kind could provide extra motivation for players to collect all achievements and make finishing a long hunt more meaningful. It remains unknown whether the new reward will apply to older games. If the rumor is confirmed, achievement hunters on Xbox will receive something more noticeable than just another 1000 Gamerscore points.
