Xbox’s Answer to Platinum Trophies Called Mythic Achievement

Following a tease from Xbox Corporate Vice President Asha Sharma and an undefined achievement for Gears of War: E-Day, the name of the "Platinum Trophy" equivalent for Xbox seems to have been spotted.

An Xbox user spotted the name in the filters, clearly revealing Mythic Achievement twice. Although that doesn’t confirm that this is the name for the specific achievement, we expect that it will be introduced when Gears of War: E-Day releases October 6.

This follows the mysterious achievement for Gears of War: E-Day. Among the 50 achievements revealed for the upcoming prequel is a specific 0-point unlock titled "The Lucky Ones Died on E-Day." Its requirement? Earn all other Achievements.

For PlayStation players, this concept is instantly recognizable as the Platinum Trophy - a dedicated badge of honor awarded solely for unlocking every base-game trophy. While Xbox introduced the modern achievement system back in 2005, it has historically lacked a singular completion reward, relying instead on total Gamerscore metrics.

Speculation around a system overhaul intensified recently after Asha Sharma responded to a community question on X, confirming that Xbox is actively working on achievement updates targeted for release later this year. The inclusion of a 0-point completion trigger in E-Day suggests Microsoft may be testing backend framework changes ahead of a broader system-wide rollout.

Gears of War: E-Day launches October 6, 2026, for Xbox Series X|S and PC, arriving Day One on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
