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.

It looks so.... Beautiful! I think it gives it more flavor, not just the same grey achievement logo.

There's no need for this but it looks ok I guess, It will be weird getting used to it

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.

Well that will be cool to do if you can change the colour.

So, I get to change the color? I can haz black? Pretty cool if you can change it. I think random would be great as well, though I doubt that would be an option.

Although customization is nice, I think they should have stuck to Xbox's house style.
