Microsoft has launched a brand new feature for Xbox LIVE gamers known as ‘MyStats’. MyStats is a new programme that takes on board many popular assets of online gaming communities such as Raptr and Xbox 360 Achievement centric portals, allowing gamers to compare their statistics to friends and competitors.
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
One of the most popular versions of the title is available on Nintendo Switch and it just got even better. The Bedrock version of Minecraft just released for Nintendo Switch, both digitally on the Nintendo eShop and as a physical release.
Wow! First the minecraft play together video, then twitter and now this. What's next?
I don't want any intrusive Xbox stuff on my Playstation ecosystem. I understand that when you are surviving in the market you need to do things you may not like to survive. Sony is not on this position so it doesn't need to help the competition to survive.
A console without exclusive tied with a mini console without 3rd party and still beaten by THE KING
Losers are trying their best to gain a little momentum
just make games instead of this ridiculous gimmicky features
Has everyone completely forgotten Blinx?
Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own
Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!

Anybody, if you allow it, can visit your profile and see what games you play by your achievements. You can also click compare games to compare achievements. It shows when you were last on line and what game you were playing...etc...of course there are privacy settings so you can only see what people want you to see.
Honestly...I don't need anymore stat collection and I definitely don't want share more than I have to with so much of a persons privacy under attack these days.
Having said that, as long as the privacy controls are strengthen and not weaken, I don't see any harm in it.
Since my tin foil hat is custom made I won't bore you with my conspiracy theories on why the world through initiatives like this, seem obsessed with collecting as much data as they can on people and for what reason...another topic for a different thread.
@mathman...I understand that. My point is they are using what they do/have now as the motivation, in terms of advertising, for people to sign up. This is no doubt a move into a Facebook like endeavour and as is always the case with M$ ( and Goggle, Apple...etc )their march to world domination...
...imagine, if you will, a world where M$ controls everything from behind the electronic curtain. Software that tracks you every move and of course keeps it private EXCEPT for their partners and related third parties ( like every bank, job, medical practitioners...etc ). Can you imagine going for a job interview one day and the employer, buying into M$ partners program, gets access to your dealings and goings on via M$ substantial data bank of information. Facebook does this RIGHT NOW. It's a private company and it can do whatever it pleases...Russia not to long ago invested MILLIONS into Facebook...I guess they like the pictures....O_o
I warned you, don't get me going on what these guys are up to. My tinfoil hat is of the highest quality.
@Inside_out
This is much more comprehensive than just the basic list of what Achievements you have earned and when you earned them... They've been doing that since Xbox 360 launch, this is altogether more detailed.
....and the kdr and achievement whores rejoice!
They have been doing this in the US for many months now.
Interesting facts... and at points scary facts. It breaks down time you play. Let's just say I'm on my Xbox WAY TOO MUCH!
