Xbox is moving to improve its ecosystem, and this time it’s doing so in a very direct way: by asking the players themselves. Following recent changes in achievements and the announcement of a team focused on listening to the community, an engineer has taken another step.

This is Bill Ridmann, a member of the Xbox team for years, who has used social media to ask a clear question: what new features would you like to see on the console. And the response hasn’t been long in coming.

Xbox listens to the community: these are some ideas already on the table

The message has generated a large number of responses, many of which coincide with very specific improvements. Among the most repeated are:

• Achievements for classic Xbox games
• Separating achievements between story mode, multiplayer, and DLC
• A system similar to the “platinum” of other platforms
• Limiting games with too easy achievements
• Recovering features like real multitasking
• Strengthening the social aspect with avatars, activity, and global rankings
• Adding more retrocompatible titles
• Improving the HDR system, especially on the console panel

All this comes at a time when Microsoft seems to be reinforcing its commitment to listening to the community. In fact, the Xbox Insider program remains one of the main channels for sending suggestions, but this type of initiative shows that they are also attentive to direct feedback.

For now, there is no confirmation of which ideas might be implemented, but the simple fact of seeing Xbox openly asking for opinions makes it clear that there is still room for the console to evolve in the coming months.
