Xbox One patent outlines Achievement implementation for watching TV programs | VG247

“Television viewing tends to be a passive experience for a viewer, without many opportunities for the viewer to engage or have interactive experiences with the presented content,” the application states. “To increase interactive viewing and encourage a user to watch one or more particular items of video content, awards and achievements may be tied to those items of video content.”

One such example was by watching the Super Bowl, which is interesting considering the firm’s deal with the NFL, and another example was an Achievement for watching an entire season of a TV show.
