Xbox Playback is live today. It is a personalized recap of available account history across every console generation, not a look back at this year alone. Players can open it on the console dashboard, or sign in and watch a video on the web. The rollout is gradual through the day, so it may not appear at once.
Your Playback includes your first Xbox game, total time played, most-played game, top years, longest streak and more.
Playback is available in 15 countries from today through December 31.
