Xbox Playback is beginning to appear on dashboards on Nov. 12, giving players a personalized look back at their history across every Xbox generation. The recap can include your first Xbox game, total time played, most-played game, top years, longest streak and achievements.
Watch the video from your console dashboard or sign in to the Xbox Playback page on the web. The Playback Archive offers a closer look at available history, including early milestones and major achievements. The feature is appearing gradually, so it may not show up on every account right away.
After watching on console, scan the QR code at the end of the video to get a personalized Playback card. On the web, select “Share” to create the card, then share it with friends or post it using #XboxPlayback.
Access requires at least 1 Gamerscore point, 1 achievement and 1 minute of qualifying gameplay linked to your Xbox profile. Watching on a console also requires at least 1 minute of qualifying gameplay on a console. Playback is available through Dec. 31, 2026, in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, Spain, the UK and the US.
Xbox says Playback uses available account data, so some history may be incomplete or take time to appear.
