Microsoft recently launched a new update for the Xbox mobile app. The update includes new features and improvements based on user feedback. April’s app update specifically targets achievement tracking and leaderboards.
In March, the Xbox app began testing achievements within the app after users requested the return of the feature. Now everyone will have access to achievements on the app. The first rollout of the achievement feature includes a detailed achievement screen plus notifications when an achievement has been unlocked.
Leaderboards were initially planned to roll out in a few months, but select users can access the feature today. Players who have the feature on their app can now see how they measure up against their friends. Players can also view their achievements on game detail pages to help monitor progress. The achievement update will be available to everyone by the end of the month with occasional updates.
Winning isn't the most important thing in the world. But, it is really fun 🏆
