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.

Seems pretty pointless in my opinion, there's no need for them to be colourful.

I remember before this current 360 dashboard, before the NXE dashboard, the ORIGINAL 360 dashboard was in place. That had a lot of customization. You can customize the blades/tabs and other things on the dashboard. The same thing went for the Xbox guide. While you couldn't change notification colors, you could change a lot. You were able to pick solid colors, themes like a Halo 3 blue one, steel or asphalt or something, etc. It would be heartwarming to see more customization on the Xbox One the way the 360 originally did.

E-T There's no need for this but it looks ok I guess, It will be weird getting used to it


What's their to get used to it's a icon that pop's up and inform's you that you have achieved an Achievement, Seriously there's nothing to get used to :/

It's for split screen so it's actually a really useful feature.

Lavish I will always prefer the original achievement notification over this new one.
I wish they didn't have to change it in the first place.
Don't like change then never buy anything new again...
