Xbox Mythic Achievement Will Be Microsoft's Version of a Platinum Trophy — And It Has an Extravagant Unlock Sound
Microsoft’s new completion reward is expected to mark full 1,000 Gamerscore mastery, and the leaked audio cue lasts about 15 seconds, leaker Klobrille said.
- On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, a leak via the Microsoft Xbox PC App revealed visual details and a new unlock sound for the upcoming Xbox Mythic Achievement, a reward for completing 100% of a title's 1,000 Gamerscore.
- Xbox CEO Asha Sharma revealed last month that the platform would introduce a Platinum Trophy equivalent later this year, mirroring the PlayStation Trophy feature that originated on the PS3.
- Microsoft's new audio cue, discovered by leaker Klobrille, lasts around 15 seconds; the sound is a more grandiose version of the standard achievement ping, designed to signify full game mastery.
- Players will reportedly track these achievements through the Xbox dashboard and display their total count on their profiles, with some Xbox Insider testers already spotting references in early versions.
- These achievements appeared in the PC app the same day Microsoft announced laying off 268 Xbox staffers, including the likely closure of Ninja Theory and moving Halo, Sea of Thieves, and Age of Empires to Activision.
