Xbox Playback Is Live: How to See Your Xbox History Until 31 December
Xbox Playback shows your first Xbox game, hours played, top game and longest streak. How to watch it on console or web, and the 15 countries it covers.
Xbox Playback, a personal look back at your history on Xbox, rolled out on 12 November as part of Xbox's 25th anniversary. It covers every console generation where your account has data, and it's available until 31 December 2026 in 15 countries.
What's in your Playback
- your first Xbox game
- total time played
- your most-played game
- your top years
- your longest streak
- achievements and milestones along the way
A Playback Archive on the web lets you dig further into your history, including your first milestones and biggest achievements. Xbox says Playback is based on the account data it has, so parts of your history may be missing or take time to appear.
How to watch it
- On console: look for the Playback option on your dashboard.
- On the web: sign in with your Xbox account on Xbox's Playback page to watch your personalised video.
To share it, scan the QR code at the end of the console video or select "share" on the web to get a Playback card. Xbox is rolling it out through the day, so it may not appear right away.
Who can see it
You need at least 1 Gamerscore, 1 achievement and 1 minute of qualifying gameplay linked to your profile. To watch it on console, that minute has to be played on console.
Playback is available in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, Spain, the UK and the US.
Still playing on an older console? GTA 6 will stream on Xbox One through cloud gaming from 19 November.
The anniversary also brought Wolfenstein 3 and free Xbox 25th items in Halo, Forza Horizon 6, Minecraft and more.
