Xbox Has Spent 25 Years Tracking Your Gaming Habits; Now You Can See The Damage

It’s the 25th anniversary of Xbox, and to celebrate, you can see how much time you’ve spent–or wasted, according to my parents–playing games on Xbox hardware over the years. Not to be confused with the end-of-year wrap-up that Xbox usually offers, Xbox Playback looks at your entire history, from when you first booted up a console to your current-day Achievements.

It’s a neat little celebratory feature, complete with a customized video and graphics that you can show off. In addition to the date you started playing on Xbox, it includes the first Xbox console you used, the first game you booted up, your total hours played, a breakdown of game genres, and more. (There are some limits on data during Xbox’s early years, though.) You can try it out by signing in to your Xbox account through this link.

I’m disgusted by the lack of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on my list.

Other stats you can check out include the games you spent the most hours on, which ones you got a 100% Achievement rank in, and your longest streak of consecutive play days. Xbox says you can share your record online by scanning a QR code at the end of the video that plays–just in case you want to share how many hours you’ve sunk into Viva Piñata over the decades.

While this is a fun way to look back at your Xbox history, it does come at a bittersweet time for Microsoft’s gaming brand. This year has been brutal for Xbox employees amid a grand “reset” spearheaded by Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, as scores of jobs have been lost and several game studios have left the company. Xbox is now focused on chasing big hits across PC, consoles, and mobile, with an ambitious goal of becoming more profitable than its biggest gaming rivals, Sony and Nintendo, by 2030.

Sharma has also written about what the next 25 years for Xbox could look like, with her open letter suggesting that artificial intelligence will play a greater role in the future of video game development.
