Report: All Xbox One Games Will Have 1,000 Gamerscore
Microsoft is serious about breaking down the traditional walls between Xbox Live Arcade and retail titles. No longer will exclusively digital games get the short end of the gamerscore stick.
XBLA Fans reports that every Xbox One game will have 1,000 gamerscore attached to it. This includes cross-platform titles like Halo: Spartan Assault, which will have fewer allocated points on Xbox 360.

Our Take
For achievement hunters, this is great news. It’s further evidence of Microsoft’s push for parity in the marketplace, and ensures that gamers won’t presume quality on the basis of whether something exists as in retail packaging or not.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
