Minecraft is the title responsible for Xbox Live achievements taking the leap and reaching the Nintendo Switch

One of Microsoft's hallmarks is Xbox Live. The platform to play online designed by Microsoft that after a payment (monthly or annual) allows access to _online_ games and accessories in the form of games at a special price or even to free games.

Leaving aside the voices that protest, for having to pay to play _online_, when it's free on PC, the truth is that Xbox Live has been characterized by the good work and stability that it offers, above the alternatives of the competition.And among the improvements that Microsoft's _online_ platform offered from the beginning is that of having an achievement system. Achievements that now broaden their horizons.

Through achievements, users are incentivized with prizes ranging from subscription extensions to exclusive advances for users who manage to unlock the achievements. This is an option that has caught on among users, as there are real ninjas when it comes to unlocking achievements.

And now achievements make their way to Nintendo's handheld system in Minecraft, the popular block game. Nintendo Switch owners who play Minecraft will now have the ability to unlock Xbox Live System Achievements.

This is the first step between platforms like Microsoft and NintendoIn fact, it is the first time that the achievement system has reached the Nintendo console, so even if you play Minecraft on this machine, you will be able to access the achievement system without any problem. In fact, we already know what the list of achievements is thanks to the fellow Trueachievements.

Only one requirement, logical on the other hand: have a Microsoft account (Outlook, Hotmail...) to be able to access the Xbox Live account from the Nintendo console.

This is the first step, the first title that allows this improvement and we will have to see if in the future more or less nearby, the catalog of available titles that can access Xbox Live achievements is expanded.
