Microsoft and Xbox have announced that Xbox players will soon get access to Xbox Playback, which is now rolling out across 15 countries starting today through December 31. The feature compiles account history across every generation of Xbox consoles to create a custom look-back video and stats summary for each player. Part of the official announcement reads:
We hope Playback evokes a few memories, surprises you, or reminds you of a game you haven’t thought about in a while… Whether you’ve been playing with us since the beginning or are just getting started, thank you for being part of XBOX.
That being said, the feature includes key milestones such as a player’s first-ever Xbox game, total hours played, top titles, most active years, and longest gaming streaks. It should be expected that Playback will arrive gradually depending on system and region, so the feature may take some time to appear for all accounts, and data depth will depend on available account history.
Players can access their Playback directly from the Xbox dashboard console interface or by signing in with their Xbox account on the web. A more in-depth archive is also available online for viewing early milestones and major achievements. Users can then generate a shareable Playback card by scanning the QR code at the end of the console video or selecting the share option on the web, as well as using the hashtag #XboxPlayback.
