Xbox One's achievements are color-coded

4.7
While we've been aware that the Xbox One's achievement system will have some fluidity to it since the system was revealed in May, it turns out that it has color-coding options as well. As Xbox Corporate VP Marc Whitten explained via Twitter, the system's achievements are in a player's "chosen color," which is more evident in a recent Microsoft Studios livestream on Twitch of Powerstar Golf.

At the 11:15 mark in the video, a blue achievement pops up indicating which of the two players earned the "Valuable Commodity" award. When players earned achievements during multiplayer sessions on Xbox 360 games, the color was always grey, while the circular controller indicator showed who earned it. Now we wonder just how fancy our achievements can look on Xbox One.

A new fresh idea, that what the console needs

TywinPosted:

I wish they gave you an option to just use the original achievement notifications.

This is the type of things that they should give the use control of. Would be a nice feature.

Okay it's okay I admit,
Still going to go for grey though!
Would be a good chart to see the most popular colour.

Yeah its pretty cool more customization

DissPosted:

Potion I cant wait to customize my color to a darker one, because it seems like the 360s bright green was fairly annoying.


I hope there is a wide variety of choices we get. Kind of like the colour wheel where we can just move the pointer to a section and then make that colour lighter/darker.

This is pretty awesome, bit of a useless inclusion but still pretty cool.

basedmike this is pretty cool, but why


Just something different/new they are giving people. Maybe people had asked for them or something at one point in time, not sure, but I like the fact that they're adding this in.

"Man I hate these 360 achievements, because they're grey!"
Nice logic
