We’re coming to the end of 2026, and while there have been some good moments and plenty of bad ones, players around the world have sunk hundreds and thousands of hours into their XBOX One and XBOX Series X|S consoles. Check out your accumulated stats through a rejigged XBOX Wrapped.
XBOX Year in Review has long been XBOX’s annual round-up of gaming stats: How many games you’ve played, the hours you’ve put in, and how many achievements you earned. 2026 has been a big year in which the Mythic Achievement has been implemented, and Gears of War: E-Day was an XBOX exclusive in one of the company’s most significant 12 months in some time.
That said, here’s everything you need to know about XBOX Wrapped in 2026.

Is XBOX Rewind Happening in 2026?
There will be no XBOX Wrapped, XBOX Year In Review, or XBOX Rewind in 2026, as the round-up has been replaced by the improved XBOX Playback moving forward.
Last year, XBOX Wrapped didn’t happen because of budget constraints. It was a questionable choice, as you can only wonder how much a brief stats video costs, and everyone else was doing their own version.

It didn’t happen, though, and all eyes were on 2026. While the official name might be different, this is XBOX’s new way of tracking your yearly XBOX gaming.

But the main thing you need to know is that this has replaced XBOX Wrapped.
XBOX Playback has a breakdown of this year’s antics, but also: ‘Brings highlights from your available XBOX history across every generation in a personalized experience. For the first time, you can look back and relive the part you played in XBOX’s story.’
