Xbox players in Canada can now look back at their gaming history with Xbox Playback, a personalized recap released for the brand’s 25th anniversary.
Rather than covering only 2026, it draws on available account history across Xbox generations. Highlights include your first game, most-played title, total playing time, busiest years and longest streak.
It arrives during a busy week for Xbox, which also introduced free, ad-supported cloud gaming. The company has confirmed that GTA VI will support cloud play on Xbox One and Series X|S on November 19, though players must buy the game separately.
Look for Playback on your console dashboard, or sign in to the Xbox Playback website. The web-based Playback Archive offers additional milestones and achievements.
To share your recap, scan the QR code after the console video or use the web version’s share option to get a personalized card.
Canada is among 15 supported countries, with access ending December 31, 2026. Eligibility requires at least one Gamerscore point, one achievement and one minute of qualifying gameplay linked to your profile. Console access also requires a minute of qualifying console gameplay.
Microsoft cautions that some history may be missing or delayed, so the recap is not necessarily a complete record of everything you have played.
