Xbox Insiders Can Now Hide Games from Achievement Lists

Microsoft is finally listening to one of the most requested features from its community. Xbox Insiders are getting a fresh batch of updates this April, and the highlight is the ability to hide games from your achievements list. Whether you started a game you didn't like or just want to keep your profile looking sharp, you'll soon have the power to curate your gaming history more effectively.

Currently, the feature is being tested within the free-to-join Xbox Insider program. This means it’s not quite ready for everyone yet, but it’s a clear sign of where the platform is heading. Even if you hide a game, don't worry—your hard-earned Gamerscore will still count toward your total. It’s mostly about the aesthetics and personalizing how others see your gaming journey. We’ve all had that one game we tried for five minutes and never touched again; now, it doesn't have to haunt your profile forever.

But that's not all. Microsoft is also revamping how achievements look. The new design features animations and notifications that match the accent color you've chosen for your Xbox interface. It feels like a small touch, but it adds a layer of cohesion to the entire UI. For the perfectionists out there, games where you've earned 100 percent of the achievements will now be highlighted, and there's a new filter to see only those fully completed titles.

This move seems to be part of a broader effort to make the Xbox ecosystem more user-friendly. Following the recent update that allowed users to disable Quick Resume for specific games, Microsoft is checking off items from the community’s "most wanted" list. With new leadership at Microsoft Gaming, these quality-of-life improvements are exactly what fans need to feel seen. It’s a great time to be an Xbox owner, as the platform continues to refine the experience based on what we actually want.
