XBOX Playback is rolling out on November 12, 2026, giving players a personalized look at their gaming history on console and the web. The experience covers available records from across XBOX generations and will remain available through December 31, 2026.
The recap shows your first XBOX game, cumulative playtime and the game you played most. It also includes your top years and longest streak. Each player's recap reflects their own history, whether that reaches back to early XBOX play or began with a first console this year.
On console, players can find the Playback option on the dashboard. On the web, signing in with an XBOX account opens a personalized video. The separate web Playback Archive offers a closer look at available records, including early milestones and major achievements. According to XBOX Wire, access is being introduced in stages during launch day.
After the video, console viewers can scan its closing QR code to obtain a personal Playback card. Web viewers can use the share option to get their card, which can be shared with friends or posted using #XBOXPlayback.
To qualify, your profile needs a Gamerscore of at least 1, at least 1 achievement and qualifying gameplay totaling at least 1 minute. Console access has an additional requirement of 1 minute spent in qualifying console gameplay.
The 15 supported countries are the US, UK, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Australia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain and South Africa.
The recap depends on the account information available to XBOX, so parts of a player's record can be missing or arrive later.
