A new Xbox Career feature is being developed to reward hardworking players more. Microsoft will soon launch the new and improved rewarding system, bringing new levels, loot crates, and other rewards for gamers.

According to Microsoft Central, the new Career system brings better rewards to outstanding players by giving sets of rewards and boosting skilled players' status in the gaming community. Microsoft released new avatars for Xbox back in the fall of 2017. The upgraded Career system is said to distribute avatar loot crates to skilled gamers and allow these gamers to reach higher ranks to obtain new levels.

The report by Microsoft Central also says that the system will also introduce new quests containing objectives to keep gamers engaged. The news made a lot of Xbox gamers happy with most of them asking for further details about the new achievement feature.

The initial information about the Career system was distributed by Corporate vice president of Xbox Program Management Mike Ybarra. Ybarra told YouTuber Rand Al Thor 19 about future plans for the Xbox. Ybarra during the podcast back in August 2017 said, "we are working towards a bigger, more meaningful change about somebody's gaming accomplishments in history, as a gamer on Xbox."

Ybarra said that many gamers remain unrecognized and that it is their responsibility to change things. "You want people to be in the know. This person doesn't play a lot of games, but they're world top ten at Halo 5," he added. Ybarra also stated that Microsoft will bring big changes that will allow gamers to be represented by their impressive "gaming history and the type of gamer that they are," something that the Gamescore feature is not able to do.

Microsoft is yet to announce the full extent of the proposed Career system and its initial launch date.
