Xbox gamerscore explained

Updated

Gamerscore is the running total of points from every achievement you have unlocked on Xbox. It never goes down, and it is shown on your profile card, which is why many players treat it as a measure of how much they have played.

How gamerscore is earned

Each game ships with a list of achievements, and each achievement is worth a set number of points. Unlock it and those points are added to your gamerscore permanently. DLC often adds more achievements and more points.

Raising gamerscore yourself

The quickest organic gains come from games with short, easy achievement lists. Players who hunt gamerscore look for:

  • Short games that can be completed in one sitting
  • Games with achievements for simply starting or finishing chapters
  • Titles available through Game Pass so you can try many cheaply

Using a gamerscore service

If you want a higher number without hundreds of hours, a gamerscore service adds a permanent increase to your existing account. X6RR's Xbox Gamerscore service is handled by staff after checkout and typically completes within 12 to 48 hours.

If you want a separate account that already has high gamerscore, modded Xbox accounts are delivered with gamerscore built from real achievement unlocks.
