Xbox Playback Announced as Year in Review Replacement

After being uncovered in late October, Xbox has officially announced Xbox Playback, the replacement for the Year in Review.

The project comes as part of Xbox’s 25th Anniversary celebration.

Everything you’ve ever done is available

Revealed via Xbox Wire, Xbox Playback lets players look back through their gaming history. That includes checking out past achievements, their favorite games, and more. And it’s not just what you’ve played this year.

The feature will look back at your entire time with Xbox. From when you started with the platform to your first console, to your first game, and even the game you’ve played the most. You’ll be able to see who your first friend was, your total playing time, longest play streak, top genre, completed games, and more.

It seems like everything that has been tracked by Microsoft over the years will be available for you to reminisce about.

“XBOX Playback brings together years of XBOX history in a brand-new way,” Xbox says. “We hope Playback evokes a few memories, surprises you, or reminds you of a game you haven’t thought about in a while. Playback is based on available account data, so some parts of your history may be incomplete or take time to appear. Playback is available in 15 countries* from today through December 31.”

Are you excited to see what Xbox Playback has to show you when the time comes? Leave your thoughts down in the comments, and join the official Insider Gaming Discord server.
