Xbox is making some major changes to its Achievements, for Xbox Insiders to test out ahead of a wider release. These include customisation options for Achievement pop ups, the ability to highlight certain 100 percent completions you're especially proud of, and the ability to hide other games you're not keen to boast about.

Announced in a new post on the official Xbox blog, the foremost change is a visual refresh to the traditional Achievement flair. While the classic green is still available of course, you'll be able to match Achievements to your profile colour. In addition, updated icons and animations are being rolled in to keep things feeling modern.

Then there comes the ability to hide certain games from your Achievement history. Presented as a way to better curate your public list of games and the Achievements unlocked within, this will allow Xbox gamers to hide certain titles while not impacting the contribution to Achievement score provided.

So, if you've got one embarrassing Achievement missing, you can brush the whole game under the digital carpet. This apparently was one of the most requested features from Xbox Insiders.

Finally, a feature which allows players to highlight certain games they've unlocked 100 percent of Achievements in is being introduced. This, plus a filter to allow for quicker access to your collection of mastered titles, will hopefully make Achievement collectors with impressive catalogues happy. The post reads: "We're continuing to explore new ways to recognize completion and milestone moments over time, and this update is one of our first steps towards celebrating those moments."

While Xbox is still lacking a direct equivilent to PlayStation's Platinum Trophy, this suite of changes to the Achievement system could very well allow those hunting for gaming accolades to present a selection of completed games as an alternative. Whether it catches on, and grips the hearts of Xbox completionists, is something to keep an eye on.
