Being an Xbox user means a lot of us are prone to achievement hunting. There's nothing more satisfying than reaching a completion target and feeling fulfilled. But could you imagine completing upwards of 450 games to reach a high score of 500,000 gamerscore in a single month? One user set themselves up for the task and managed to succeed.
Xbox user Jiexe created a new account and shared their journey throughout January on True Achievements as they raced to reach the milestone. In just under three days, they hit 100,000, before finally hitting the total figure 28 days, 18 hours and 44 minutes into the month. At a grand total of 434 games completed and 7849 achievements unlocked, it was no easy feat, but one Jiexe managed.
It's an amazing accomplishment and one we definitely love to see rather than attempt ourselves - but kudos to Jiexe! Now we wonder how long it would take to hit one million?
What's the most gamerscore you've obtained in one month? Let us know in the comments below.

Wow some life, and here was me impressed/embarrassed that I got 5000 in Jan towards the 10000 rewards thing.
Is this what people do to test their limits nowadays? Gone are the days of climbing mountains etc.. I am going to see how long I can sit in my bedroom playing games I don't enjoy playing but I want them achievements, so il follow YouTube guides and power through.. What a hero rollseyes
I also get told I have no life for getting 180,000 over 13 years lol
Right? I was so pleased with my 5.5k
It's impressive but for me personally I'd hate doing something like that, I love gaming but I just play whatever takes my fancy at the time. At the moment I'm replaying RE4 so thats not going to do anything for my gamerscore 😆
Impressive. I got around 12000 and was mighty pleased with myself.
I don't mind playing the cheap and nasty games here and there for achievements/trophies, but the amount he would have had to play to rack up that score is mind boggling. I wonder how much money he spent or did he already have a lot since he created a new account? And can you stack games on Xbox like you can on Playstation? Can you create another account on your Xbox and set it to a different region to buy games with?
I earned 16,000 in January this year.
Sheesh...Get a job...
I got a bit under 40k (total lifetime gs)
Personally, I never play a game just because it has easy achievements. I just 1k games that I enjoy and happen to have realistic achievement goals without online requirements.
For example, I try to get all offline achievements for Assassins Creed games, but I never get "super hard mode" or "collect all missable collectibles" in level based games. I won't play Halo multiple times to find all hidden nit nacks, but I will spend hundreds of hours finding all things in AC Odyssey.
So, my gameplay style is definitely not compatible with earning tons of achievements very fast.
That said, I find it more realistic this person did this on a new account than their existing one, since they get to use their piled up knowledge of all 1k games out there.
...and I thought coming up to 185,000GS after 10+ years was going overboard. As you were!
I'm happy to hit 1000 a month lol. Due to work. Out side life ect. I'd like to hit 50k by Christmas 2021 😎I play big games soooo.
Wish I didn't have a job and could just play through all the games. 😂
I played some good games, but also a bunch of Ratalaika type dross, throughout Jan and hit just over 60k for the month. Lockdown has a lot to answer for!
I love achievements and was pleased to get 14,260 (Just checked, I didn't remember it exactly! haha) in January.
This is a crazy high number! COVID had given us some spare time, but wow!
I earned over 15k GS in January and the 10K target for reward points mainly motivated me. I’m currently on 471,210 which I’ve accumulated over 15 years but once I’ve reached 500K I am going to wind down my achievement hunting to just games that I actually want to play and not buy cheap easy 1,000 GS games in sales. I’ll also stop going for collectibles unless they are relevant to the story of the game. I’ll always go for the collectibles in the Forza Horizon games though just because they are fun to get.
I’ll still always enjoy unlocking achievements even when I eventually reach 500K as I think they make you play games in different ways and you seem you get more out of the games too going for certain achievements.
I love GS on games I love — when done well I find they really encourage you to explore. But games that have easy achievements just draw you into playing something that you don’t enjoy. I think it happened to me in the early days with King Kong, and then I stopped because I realised it just wasn’t fun.
But if someone gets their kicks chasing gamerscore by playing rubbish games, then fair play to them!
@Jorb-Norb it's a Lockdown...
Any other time I'd agree with you, but when you are literally told to stay at home, what better way to waste the time.
And now TrueAchivements have punished the account for cheating during this run. Looks like they were account-sharing.
