Players want achievements in OG Xbox games following PS1 trophy reveal

Sony has announced that the PS1 classic Syphon Filter is getting trophies when it releases with the revamped PS Plus service. Following the news, Xbox fans have called on Microsoft to add achievements to OG Xbox games.Yes, you’re reading that correctly. Syphon Filter, which launched on PS1 a whopping 23 years ago, is officially getting a trophy list. Syphon Filter developer Bend Studio made the announcement last night, confirming that once the new PS Plus subscription service launches, Syphon Filter, which is included in the Premium tier, will support trophies — it even has a platinum! Fans call on Microsoft to add achievements to original Xbox gamesFollowing this news, the Xbox side of the internet is now asking the question: Wouldn’t it be cool if OG backwards compatible Xbox games included achievements? Twitter is currently filled with Xbox fans calling on Microsoft to add achievements to OG Xbox classics. There are so many excellent OG Xbox games that we’d love to see Microsoft add achievements to. Dead Or Alive, Jade Empire, Black, Morrowind, Timesplitters, Star Wars KOTOR, Splinter Cell, Psychonauts, Max Payne, Crimson Skies, Blinx. The list goes on and on — we’d even take achievements for Chicken Little! While details are thin on the ground about Sony’s plans to bring trophies back to older PS1 classics, if we were to take a guess, Sony is probably only going to do this with its first-party games, so it likely won’t be for a lot of titles. If Microsoft was to bring achievements to original Xbox games, and that’s a big if, we imagine it would be along similar lines, which does limit the number of titles somewhat. Still, a boy can dream, right? Do you think Microsoft should bring achievements to original Xbox games? Which games would you like to see get achievement support? Let us know down in the comments!
