Why does the Xbox Mobile App and Xbox PC App calculate completion percentages differently?
The Xbox Mobile App, which calculates percentage based on Gamerscore. \(410\/1000 = .41\) https://preview.redd.it/8xsmrpz9g35h1.jpg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6910bae50958d3981e3de3a0963b80c78b4606b1
The Xbox PC App, which calculates percentage based on number of achievements. \(29\/60 - .48\) https://preview.redd.it/jpxjowtbg35h1.png?width=1647&format=png&auto=webp&s=99dea7110fbaf97d68c41a79dc533ce165e17c9e
Hello all, I've got a bit of a TIL regarding something I noticed today. I've known for a while that Xbox calculates achievement completion based on the actual Gamerscore earned for a game. This makes sense to me; the whole system encourages earning more points for a higher score, so why not calculate a game's completion by point value?
Interestingly enough, when I glanced at my Oblivion achievements after a session on PC I saw that it is actually calculating based off of the number of achievements instead of the amount of points.
I find it very strange that these apps don't calculate with the same formula, and I would honestly love to know why. It doesn't make a difference to me either way, I think both systems are valid in their own ways, but I am just so curious why there isn't a standardized calculation across all 'platforms'.
