The team resolved the issue w/ Achievements unlocking on Xbox One. Earned one that didn't unlock yet? It will but it might take a few days.

If you unlocked an achievement recently on your Xbox One, but didn't receive credit – keep an eye out.

Our Take
I continue to be a big fan of achievements and trophies. Nothing is more frustrating than putting a lot of effort and not receiving that small reward. I'm glad this was able to get resolved, even if I was lucky enough to not be affected by it, but I can definitely sympathize. I'm still sore about not getting the achievement for completing all of the Brian Posehn side quests in Brutal Legend. Some kind of glitch prevented it from unlocking, and I have never forgotten.
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.
