Last week, Microsoft had teased more changes are coming to Xbox with the latest changes significantly affecting how players can show off their in-game achievements.
According to an interview with Windows Central, Xbox’s Corporate VP Mike Ybarra noted that while Xbox is awarding players when achieving certain in-game milestones, much like Steam Achievements, the company is rethinking on how to reward its players especially due to the popularity of esports.
“[W]e can do a lot more to reflect and let people show their gaming history and their status. Whether it’s somebody who only plays multiplayer in Halo 5 at a professional level, maybe they only have 2,000 Gamerscore, you want to be able to celebrate that person. You want people to be in the know. This person doesn’t play a lot of games, but they’re world top ten at Halo 5. All the way to people [with over a million gamerscore]. It’s that range that we really need to look at and celebrate … we’re going to go big in the area of letting people show off and represent their gaming history and the type of gamer that they are, far more than we do with Gamerscore.”
There has been a major overhaul at Xbox over the past few weeks which includes the Creators and Insider programs plus a major update for the console coming later this year. With the Xbox One X arriving in November.
