Xbox's Platinum Trophy Equivalent Appears To Be Called A 'Mythic Achievement' 1

We may have caught our first real glimpse at Xbox's new 100% completion achievement, and it appears "Mythic" is what they're calling it.

This comes from Xbox Insider and overall Achievement Hunter Stallion83, who has a whoppin' total of 3,309,665 gamerscore - sheesh! He posted a screenshot of what looks like an a game completion filter titled "Completed Mythic Achievement".

According to the OP, the Mythic Achievement filter appeared for them as part of the Alpha Skip-Ahead Xbox Insider ring, and appears to be "far from done". The screenshot indicates there's a filter for both complete and incomplete Mythic Achievements, which could mean it's something completely different.

I'd wager this Mythic cheevo is perhaps what Xbox Boss Asha Sharma teased back in August as being the equivalent of Sony's Platinum Trophy. I've got to say, if Mythic is what they end up going with, then I reckon I'd be pretty happy with that. I tried saying it out loud for the mouth-feel and It's not bad. For example, "I'm going for the Mythic", or "Gears of War: E-Day's Mythic is insane". Sure, It'll take some getting used to, but I think it sticks the landing well enough.

The question remains, however, how Mythic Achievements will be rolled out by Xbox. Will we receive Mythics for games we've already 100% completed, and does DLC impact that completion rate? Also, will Mythics be retroactively fitted to backwards compatible titles from the original Xbox, Xbox One, and 360?

Time will tell!
