Jez Corden further spoke about the matter and said that Microsoft would revamp the achievements and add platinum Xbox achievements these days if it could do it.

The insider believes that we can expect Microsoft to add a better achievement system and platinum trophies at a later date.

The achievements are an integral part of a game and often add a sense of purpose for players. Without achievements, there would not be a lot of things to do in a game after the immediate goals were met. Moreover, achievements can also be used for other reasons, such as bragging to your friends or utilizing different game features to explore the nooks and crannies hidden beneath prerequisites of skills and progress.

Many games have been a staggering success because of smart achievement integration. Microsoft could grow the Xbox brand to immense proportions by completely enhancing the achievement system. The addition of Platinum Xbox achievements will inspire a lot of users to complete the whole game. These are especially important for the completionists, after all. Everyone’s achievements are usually visible on their online profiles.

The insider Jez Corden also talked about a variety of other games and answered a bunch of questions. He clarified that the next Mass Effect entry will reportedly not have any open-world elements and will rather return to the IP’s roots. It is likely because the last installment was showered with criticism for barren open-world features.
