XBOX Playback Launches With Personalized Multi-Generation History

What Playback Shows

The personalized experience draws on available XBOX history across every generation. Its highlights include when a player’s journey began, games they spent the most time with, achievements, first games, total play time, most-played game, top years, and longest streak. Because each account’s data differs, the resulting Playback is personalized rather than a standard retrospective.

Some data may be missing or delayed because Playback is based on available account data. The service is also rolling out gradually, so players may not see the option immediately.

Watching and Sharing

Players can open Playback from a console dashboard or watch the personalized video on the web after signing in with their XBOX account. A web Playback Archive adds further access to milestones and achievements. After viewing the recap, players can scan the QR code at the end of the console video or select “share” on the web to receive a personalized Playback card for sharing with friends or posting with #XBOXPlayback.

Countries and Requirements

XBOX Playback is available in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, Spain, UK and US through December 31, 2026.
