I think Xbox should let players remove a small number of games from their achievement history each year.

If you remove a game, you would lose all the Gamerscore you earned from it too, so nobody is gaining anything from it. This could help completionists with games that have unobtainable achievements, dead servers, or games they accidentally started.

Maybe limit it to 1–3 games a year to keep it rare and prevent abuse.

Here’s the Player Voice post if anyone wants to share their thoughts:

I made a post on Xbox Player Voice about this, but I wanted to bring the discussion here too because I know a lot of people in this community care about achievement completion.

There are so many Xbox games with multiplayer, leaderboard, event-based, or online-only achievements that become permanently unobtainable once servers shut down. At that point, players can be locked out of completing a game forever, even if the game is still playable or still being sold.

I’m not saying Xbox should just hand out free achievements. I think the better solution would be some kind of shutdown policy before servers go offline.

For example:

-Patch the achievements so they can be earned offline
-Change them to fair single-player requirements
-Mark them as discontinued
-Warn players on the store page
-Stop discontinued achievements from blocking 100% completion

Players who already earned them should keep them. Nothing should be taken away from anyone. But players also shouldn’t be punished forever just because they found a game late or came back after the servers were already gone.

I’m curious what other people think. Would you want Xbox to handle discontinued achievements differently? And what would be the fairest solution?
