A Microsoft patent reveals that watching Television on the Xbox One will earn you Xbox 360-like achievements.
Named ”Awards and Achievements Across TV Ecosystem” and first reported at GamesIndustry.com, it explores the idea of rewarding viewers with achievements similar to how you earn them in Xbox 360 for completing certain tasks within video games. The patent does not indicate which platform this technology would be applied to but it’s a strong indicator that the upcoming Xbox One might have this since Microsoft focused heavily on the console’s television-related features in the Xbox Reveal.
