The Quickest and Easiest Gamerscore Completions on Xbox One & Xbox Series X|S

With the rise of Gamerscore leaderboards, many Xbox game players seek out games with quick and/or easy achievement lists to help them increase their Gamerscore and leaderboard ranking quickly. (New to the system? See our guide to how Xbox achievements work and how Gamerscore adds up.) There are hundreds of such games available, and the simplest way to find them is by using the search filters available here on XBXprices. Some custom searches that may be of use are provided here, while additional methods of finding quick and easy completions are provided farther down on this page.

There are numerous publishers of Xbox games that focus primarily on releasing games with easy achievement lists. While Ratalaika Games is likely the most well-known of these publishers (due to being one of the first and most prolific such publishers), there are now several, and links to their games are provided below.

Most of these publishers do not develop their games, but rather port already-existing indie games from other platforms (mainly PC) to Xbox One and/or Xbox Series X|S. The games themselves vary wildly in terms of length, difficulty, and quality, but their achievement lists are almost always extremely easy. To make the achievements easier to obtain (and thus the games more enticing to achievement hunters), these publishers often put cheat codes in their games or award the full Gamerscore for completing, for example, just the first few levels of the game.

These publishers also typically offer a separate achievement list for each region and console on which the game is released. It is not uncommon for these games to have several achievement lists, for example (one on each of Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, for each of the North American, European, and Asian versions of the game). Some games even include a Japanese achievement list that is separate from the other Asian version, multiplying the total Gamerscore that can be earned from a single title.
