Is Xbox is working on a Platinum Trophy-style feature this year?

Xbox is working on an unspecified feature, with Asha, saying the team is “working on something for later this year.” The comment came as a reply on social media, after a user asked when Xbox would solve the Platinum Trophy gap in its achievement system. No format, no details, just that something is coming.

The irony writes itself. Achievements started on the Xbox 360, and Sony’s Trophies were the response, landing on PS3 in 2008 with Super Stardust HD. Now the direction has flipped: Xbox is copying the one thing Sony built on top of the idea it borrowed in the first place. To this day Xbox funnels everything into a single Gamerscore, with no reward for unlocking every achievement in a game. The Platinum is the thing it never had.
