The way Xbox One players earn and show off their achievements (and Achievements) could change soon with the rumored addition of a new "Career" feature. According to a report from Windows Central, there are documents and features which refer to this new system, including levels, prestige ranks, and loot crates for the upcoming Avatar revamp.
So, what is Career? First off, it's nothing announced or official, so treat anything in this article with a healthy dose of skepticism. It could simply be a test run, or it could evolve into something else by the time it's unveiled. For now, it appears to be a new system that would exist alongside Gamerscore as a way of representing time and effort players sunk into their games.
This Career mode would seem to be what Ybarra was alluding to, as it includes multiple ways to "level up" your profile, which would earn you loot boxes containing cosmetic flair for you and your Avatar. It should be noted that per Windows Central's report, said loot boxes do not appear to be purchasable with real world money.
The new Avatar system is expected to drop sometime in early 2018 - perhaps we'll hear more about this Career system then?
