Xbox is updating their achievement program to allow you to view its secrets

Xbox has announced that their June console update is set to reveal the secrets, as it will allow players to turn on the description for all achievements, perfect for those achievement hunters.

As revealed on the Xbox Wire by Eden Marie, who is the Principal Software Engineering Lead for Xbox Experiences, this new addition was made possible, thanks to feedback from the players.

If you don’t mind spoilers and want a hint on any of the achievements in the games you’re playing, it’s easy to find the secret achievement details on your Xbox. From within a game, open the guide and go to Game activity > Achievements. When you see a secret achievement, you can now reveal details like the title, achievement description, and Gamerscore. And after you peek, you can go back and hide it or continue to display the details.

In addition to that, you will also see improvements to the speed and reliability of detecting available updates, both in your collection and when you launch a game. The potential to speed up update checks is going to be amazing, if it actually works.
