Unlocking Xbox 360 Achievements on the Xbox One

xElitexPhoenix · Jun 16, 2015

Ok so I have a question and I'm not sure if anyone can answer yet, but I wanted to see if maybe someone might now. I recently installed Mass Effect onto my xbox one when they announced the backwards compatibility at E3. I was running through the game and
unlocked a few achievements along the way. While I am super happy for unlocking them, the progress in unlocking them are not showing up in my gamerscore. Am I to understand that this may be a glitch right now, or do I have to log into my 360 console to see
that they are adding to my gamerscore?

Cross Platform Games

Their both two different platform games. Just like saying unlocking achievements on the Xbox 360 against unlocking the achievements on the Xbox One. You have to pretty much redo it For one or the other. Same with downloads, their pretty much two different
things. (Download wise.)

They should add onto your score just as if you were getting them on a real 360.

My guess would be that it is a glitch. This is after all what the preview is for, to find things such as these.

If you unlocked the achievement on the 360 origionally it wont raise your GS so no double achievements. I'm glad they did it that way .

I did not unlock them on the 360 yet, just unlocked them today on the xbox one. I think they are glitched for me right now. A few of my other friends have unlocked 360 achievements on their xbox one with the backwards compatible and it has counted towards
their gamerscore. So I believe it is a glitch. Thanks guys hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Hello! Of course! unlocked achievements are linked to your account, it does not matter if you unlock it on xbox one, xbox 360 or windows

I think you are on to something with the 360 game being the cause of the issue. I haven't been able to unlock achievements in any Xbox One game since playing the 360 game Vanquish.

This is the only variable I believe is contributing to the cause. My neighbors don't report any achievement issues, but I suspect they don't play Xbox 360 games on their Xbox One.

Are there any volunteers in the forums who want to test this theory for us? All you need to do is unlock an XBox 360 game achievement, then try to unlock an XBox One game achievement afterwards.

I have the exact same issue. I can't unlock any achievements on Xbox One games. However I can unlock achievements on Xbox 360 backwards compatible games.

Hey, BlHimmel! We are aware of a situation where some achievements do not unlock on the Xbox One console. This shows up as either Xbox One achievements not unlocking, Xbox 360 achievements not unlocking, or both not unlocking.

We are working on resolving this right now, however the current workaround is to do a

factory reset on your console. Give that a shot following the steps there; you can keep your games and apps. After that, try to earn an easy achievement for an Xbox 360 game, and let us know how it goes!
