Xbox Adds Mythic Achievements to Platform
Baldur's Gate 3 on Xbox requires completing Honour Mode and unlocking the Foehammer trophy, which PlayStation 5 Platinum does not.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Gaming
Xbox added Mythic achievements at the end of October, unlocked when a player earns every other achievement in a game, and they are automatically backdated to older titles. The new achievement system directly affects how players earn Baldur's Gate 3 completion on Xbox.
Why it matters
Mythic achievements reward thorough completion across an entire game library, shifting the definition of a full-completion goal on Xbox. The Baldur's Gate 3 requirement highlights a platform difference that changes what players must do to reach the top achievement.
Xbox Series X/S players must unlock Foehammer to earn the Baldur's Gate 3 completion Mythic achievement, while the PlayStation 5 Platinum trophy does not require it. Honour Mode, which requires beating the game with a single save and no reloads, was included in the Xbox release on December 7, 2023.

Season Trajectory
Mythic achievements extend the Xbox achievement framework into a broader completionist tier that rewards every earned achievement across a library. The Baldur's Gate 3 requirement shows how platform-specific content can change what completion means for players on each system.
Players on Xbox Series X/S must unlock Foehammer to earn the Baldur's Gate 3 completion achievement, which changes the path to full completion on that platform. Mythic achievements now provide an additional completion goal for players who have earned every other achievement in a game.
