Microsoft Says Over 4.5 Billion Achievements Have Been Unlocked On Xbox

4.6

Since Microsoft launched the Gamerscore system, gamers have earned over 270 billion achievement points and unlocked a whopping 4.5 billion achievements.

That’s according to Microsoft, currently celebrating the 10th birthday of Xbox Live. The platform holder also notes that since Live began in 2002, over 122,265.266 friendships have been made.

Friendships seems like a strong word for adding randoms dudes you met online playing FIFA, doesn’t it?

Anyway, while Microsoft hands out 10th birthday Xbox consoles to select, long-serving Xbox Live subscribers in the US, Europeans are getting... a helmet.

Yup, anniversary branded avatar helmets have been unlocking for some European users, though the exact requirements to earn it have not been revealed yet.

Go on Europe, show other gamers how special you are.

theartftw Free consoles for the US, free avatar items for everyone else.

Seems legit.

I'll vouch for them.

My friend in the US only received the helmet, Microsoft told him it's because he doesn't have a high gamerscore.

That is a lot of friendships made though. .__.

Most of them were probably modded.
