Achievements on XOne

Forza Horizon 2 for Xbox One has 50 Achievements worth a total of 1000G. None of the core game Achievements are Secret.

Note that there are also Challenges (they do not award G) that are added by Turn 10 throughout the history of the game. Challenges are basically just what they sound like - special actions that do not include G but offer the player a challenging task to complete;

Changes to the Achievement System

As of the 20 October 2014 Xbox One Update the display system for Achievements on the LIVE Network has been significantly altered to make it more informative and a better integrated part of the social side of the LIVE Social Network.

Previous to the update when you selected an Achievement that you had previously unlocked, you were shown the Achievement details and Gamerscore. For ones you had yet to unlock you were shown a large round completion meter that indicated the percentage you had already completed, and that left to go.

Following the update, the display system and the information it offers has been modified to be more informative in a social manner..

For Achievements already unlocked the player is shown the Name and description of the Achievement, as well as the Gamerscore amount it is worth and a green bar that is full - which represents your completing it. On the right-hand-side of the screen is a new display element: the Recently Earned Box. This shows you when you unlocked the Achievement by presenting a line with your Gamer Picture/Icon, and the Unlocked Date.

Below that line are the notices for any of the mates on your Friend List who have also unlocked that Achievement, and when (the date) they did so.

So for example, for the Purple Wristband Achievement, I see that I unlocked it on 10/19/2014, while the only other person on my Friends List - Mr. Ba1loonHands unlocked it on 10/6/2014.

When I look at Achievements that I have not yet unlocked, it shows the same basic information but on the left-hand side it shows my progress by percentage towards unlocking it, and on the right, any of my mates who have unlocked it and when.

What it does not show is the progress percentage remaining for any mates on my Friend List who are still working on but have not unlocked that Achievement.

This new system is actually very useful in a number of ways - for example it helps you to see who else is playing the game by simply picking an automatic Achievement like the Welcome to Horizon Europe Achievement. That shows you who unlocked it and when of all the mates on your Friend List.

So for example when I look at that on my Xbox One, I see the following information:

• YvonneBF Unlocked on 10/3/2014

• Simpleidiotass Unlocked on 10/2/2014

• Mr Ba1loonHands Unlocked on 9/30/2014

• Recnef Unlocked on 9/22/2014

From that I know that I was the only one on my Friend List who got the game from Microsoft prior to the release date and actually played it prior to the release date (I happen to know that some of my mates who are also games journos did get the game around the same time I did, which was 20 September, but never got around to playing it right away).

I can then select one of the listed Gamertags on the right - say Simpleidiotass - and it automatically puts me into the Compare Games System inside the Forza Horizon 2 Entry for Xbox One, and shows me the status of Simpleidiotass and their Achievement progress.

So I can see that they have been playing for 5 hours compared to my 132 hours, and have a 2% progress compared to my 17% progress. They have unlocked 8 Achievements compared to my 36, and if I scroll to the list of the specific Achievements, I can see what their percentages are both for the ones I have unlocked but they have not, and the ones we both have not unlocked.

So if I were a competitive player - and believe me those exist! - I would then have a pretty good idea of where they stood compared to me. Note that I know that there are people who value this information because I very often receive messages from some of them smack-talking me, telling me how badly I suck, or demanding to know how I got the game weeks before it officially released, and threatening to turn me in for hacking the game.
