Xbox CEO teases PlayStation-style 'Platinum' achievement coming later this year

Asha Sharma, Xbox's CEO, said on social media that the team is "working on something for later this year" that could add an Xbox equivalent to PlayStation's Platinum trophy. Platinum trophies are awarded for unlocking all other trophies, and Xbox does not currently have a comparable all-unlock badge. Microsoft is simultaneously rolling out an achievements update to Xbox Insiders that adds sorting by game name, completion percentage, Gamerscore earned and number of achievements unlocked. The announcement comes while Sharma is executing a business reset at Xbox this year that included mass layoffs, game cancellations and studio divestitures.

• Asha Sharma replied to a user asking about an Xbox equivalent to Platinum, saying the team is "working on something for later this year."
• PlayStation's Platinum trophy is a reward for unlocking every other trophy; Xbox has no direct equivalent today.
• An Xbox achievements update is rolling out to Insiders now with new sorting options: game name, completion percentage, Gamerscore earned, and number of achievements unlocked.
• Sharma became Xbox CEO earlier this year and has led a business reset involving mass layoffs, game cancellations and studio divestitures.
