Xbox players have long requested a prestige badge equivalent to PlayStation’s Platinum Trophy, and it looks like it’s finally happening. Thanks to a recent update to the Xbox PC app, visuals and sound for the new Mythic Achievement have surfaced—and the unlock sound lasts a full 15 seconds.

15 Seconds of Celebration

Renowned Xbox insider and achievement hunter Klobrille shared the icon and unlock sound for the Mythic Achievement in the latest Xbox PC app update. The sound is much more grandiose than the standard achievement chime, featuring a swelling, echoing tone that plays for about 15 seconds. This is a big step up from the quick “ping” sound you hear for regular or rare achievements, making the experience feel truly special.

How the Mythic Achievement Works

According to TrueAchievements, the Mythic Achievement is a special badge you earn by completing every achievement in a game and reaching the maximum Gamerscore. The badge itself grants zero Gamerscore and is tracked separately from regular achievements, serving purely as a mark of prestige without inflating your score. According to games.gg, DLC and update achievements don’t count toward this requirement, so you won’t need to chase every new content drop to earn your Mythic badge. This makes it more accessible than PlayStation’s approach to Platinum Trophies, which sometimes include DLC trophies.

Retroactive Unlocks

One of the most notable details is that the feature will be applied retroactively. Once the update rolls out, Mythic Achievements will automatically unlock for all games where you’ve already completed the requirements. So if you have a game sitting at 90 percent completion, finishing it before the update goes live could be a smart move.

This Feature Was Teased Before

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirmed back in August that a Platinum Trophy-style reward was in the works. Xbox insiders have been spotting references to the feature in dashboard builds for weeks. On September 19, legendary achievement hunter Stallion83, who has 3,309,665 Gamerscore, shared a screenshot showing a “Completed Mythic Achievement” filter, revealing the feature’s name for the first time.

Perfect Timing?

The timing of this feature’s reveal is interesting, as it comes during a challenging week for Xbox. In the same week, Microsoft announced a new wave of 268 layoffs, the potential closure of Ninja Theory, and the transfer of Halo, Sea of Thieves, and Age of Empires to Activision. Some observers noted the coincidence of a major new feature launching amid major studio shakeups at the company.
