We’ve been asking for improvements to achievements for years on Xbox One and now Xbox Series. From Team Xbox they told us that they were working on improvements to improve them, but it has already rained enough. Achievement hunters are on the wane, and something needs to be done to keep this part of the community that brought so much life to the Xbox ecosystem.
Today we can learn regarding a new improvement that will reach all users soon, or at least I hope so. This is a function that had also been requested by the community in the company’s feedback forums, and which is currently in the testing phase.
New features for secret achievements
Just yesterday, Brad Rossetti of the Xbox development team announced on Twitter the arrival of the option to see a part of the secret achievements. It’s a useful feature that reveals clues as to what needs to be done to unlock one of these achievements. Although it doesn’t reveal instructions to get the achievement in question, it does show the image of the achievement and a part of its title.
Now in secret achievements there will be an option that says something like “Show Details” and “Hide Details”. You just have to access the guide, stand on the desired achievement and look at it. Please note that the rollout is coming to Xbox Insiders first, not yet available to everyone.

Not a few users have commented to Brad that this improvement is good, but it is insufficient. They want some incentive for completing all the achievements in a game, something like the Platinum Trophy on PlayStation but Xbox style. And the truth is that at least I insist once more, the achievements need a facelift.
