Xbox One achievements will not be recorded unless devs want it

4.5

Xbox One’s DVR recording function was said to capture every single achievement you unlock earlier this week. Microsoft has now clarified the matter to say that it’s a feature that devs need to turn on in their games first.

Microsoft’s Albert Penello took to NeoGAF to clarify the matter and said, “It won’t be automatic for every Achievement. It’s a feature that Developers can unlock for achievements, OR, for instance, have hidden in the game for doing something cool or discovering something hidden.

“Basically we allow developers access to GameDVR and they can put conditions on an automatic recording.

“But not every Achievement will automatically be recorded.”

Well, that puts an end to yet another Xbox One rumour. But still, do you think it’s a neat feature?

-Skillz Its going to be harder for achievement hunters

What the heck re you saying? This doesn't effect achievement hunters one bit. Half of them don't even know about the recording.

Achievement hunters is a Youtube channel that makes videos on how to get certain achievements. Don't be so mean if you don't know what you're going on about.

I have never been an achievement hunter myself. If I got one, I got it. I wouldn't really be disappointed by this.

-Skillz No more modding achievements!!

You'll still be able to mod achievements...it'll probably just be easier to see if you are modding them.

This will not stop them, lol

I hope it catches most of them though.

It will be interesting to see what happens seeing as using gamesaves isn't technically modding

It will be interesting to see I am just waiting to see how long it takes for someone to mod the console on PS4 or Xbox One I don't think it will take them that long and modded lobbies will be once more.

I expect it to be a lot harder to do it on the next gen consoles though

It might be easy to mod, but very easy to get reset and banned.

Yeah the ban hammer will be as big as ever
