Xbox blazed the trail back in 2005 by introducing Xbox Live Achievements as a metagame whose cumulative score – Gamerscore – spans across games on every Xbox Live platform. Many of today’s gaming systems followed our model and now offer achievements or badges as well. With Xbox One, we are once again breaking the mold and this time, we want consumers to reap more tangible benefits. In addition to Gamerscore, which will remain as a critical part of the Xbox gaming experience (and yes, your Gamerscore from Xbox 360 will carry forward to Xbox One – there’s only ONE Gamerscore (see what I did there?)), consumers can now unlock digital artwork, new maps, unlockable characters, and temporary stat boosts via achievements. And this is not limited to games! Other Xbox One applications such as video and music apps can now use Achievements to bring you awesome sneak peek content, early access, or subscription extensions. Only games will give you Gamerscore.

I wish they'd give MORE rewards to repeat players. For instance I LOVE that when I bought Forza 4 it detected my level in Forza 3 and gave me about 30 or so free cars in my garage.
Rewards should be actual rewards.

I had soooo many achievements on my old account. :(

This is a great IDEA and I hope that it bleeds over to PS4 and they shamelessly copy it.
This would make me care a bit more about finishing games and finding the easter eggs or playing again for a second time to get everything.
Nice one Xbone

I know they made some steps with this line of thinking with the avatar gifts which were nifty. Would be cool to these rewards expanded. Giving people more reason to hold on to their games longer and play them more would help out a lot of folks.

Is anyone else a little worried that they would hold back some things that should be included in the game from the start just to make them only attainable through gamer scores?
I guess in reality this is no different than unlocking characters and maps by completing the game like games used to do. Those always had me replaying levels just to unlock all the maps/characters
