Xbox rolls out the long-awaited Mythic Achievements, a Platinum Trophy equivalent, for Insiders while Gears of War: E-Day's massive download sizes are unveiled.
Mythic Achievements Rollout
A major update for Xbox achievement hunters has arrived. The much-anticipated Mythic Achievements, reminiscent of the Platinum Trophies on PlayStation, have been officially rolled out for Xbox Insiders. According to Pure Xbox and Xbox Wire, these achievements celebrate players who complete all original achievements in a game, without the additional hurdles of DLC content. The good news is that Xbox 360 games are also eligible, allowing players to revisit older titles for new accolades.
This addition is one of the most requested features from Xbox players, aiming to enhance the completionist experience and add another layer of accomplishment. With Insiders now able to access and test these features, a full rollout could be imminent, likely bringing a renewed wave of enthusiasm for fully completing games.
Gears of War: E-Day Pre-Install Size
Gears of War: E-Day is gearing up for release, and players can now pre-install the game on Xbox and PC. However, a notable point for players to consider is the substantial download size, described as “as big as a Brumak.” The size of the download underscores the title’s ambition and scope, possibly hinting at extensive content and detailed graphics. Players should ensure they have enough free space and bandwidth to get ready for the game’s launch.
Other News and Releases
Aside from these major updates, there are several other noteworthy releases and features in the Xbox ecosystem:
- Transport Fever 3, where players can build a transport empire, promises intricate logistics and strategic gameplay aligning with the complexities of modern industries.
- 8BitDo has released new peripherals themed around Gears of War: E-Day, adding more collector’s items for fans.
- Meanwhile, two indie game reviews from TheXboxHub highlight the varied offerings available on Xbox: “Sizeable,” a comforting puzzler, and “THE BATHROOMS,” an atmospheric but somewhat shallow experience.
As Xbox continues to expand its achievements system and cater to a wider range of gamers, these updates signal a busy period for players. Keeping an eye on download capacities and looking forward to potential broad implementations of the new features is advisable for any dedicated Xbox user.
