What are Xbox Playback games?
Xbox Playback games are the games in your Xbox Playback, the free personalized video of your Xbox gaming history that Microsoft released on November 12, 2026 for the 25th anniversary of Xbox. The video shows your first Xbox game, your total time played, your most played game, your top years, your longest streak and the games you spent the most time with. It covers every console generation, so one list can mix Original Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S games.
Playback itself is a video made for you, and after watching it you can get an official Playback card. WrappedGames is a free, unofficial card maker for your Xbox Playback games list, where you build the card yourself: type your most played games and hours, and it ranks them by hours played and draws a custom recap card you can share with friends. It doesn't read your Xbox account, so you copy the numbers from your Playback video or your Xbox profile, and it works all year, in any country.
How do you see your Xbox Playback games?
On console, open the Playback option on the Xbox dashboard and watch your video. You need at least 1 minute of qualifying gameplay on console. Scan the QR code at the end of the video to get your personalized Xbox Playback card.
On the web, sign in at xbox.com/XBOXPlayback to watch your video, then select Share to get the card. The Playback archive at xbox.com/playback shows your first milestones and biggest achievements.
To turn the list into your own card here:
- Add each game and its hours played. Games without hours still show up on the card.
- Pick a layout (Recap or Receipt), a size (Feed 4:5, Story 9:16 or Square 1:1) and a palette. Add a gamerpic and your own title if you like.
- Download the PNG, or copy the list as text for Reddit or a chat.
How much does Xbox Playback cost?
Xbox Playback is free to watch. Microsoft lists account requirements for it (at least 1 Gamerscore, 1 achievement and 1 minute of qualifying gameplay) and no fee. The WrappedGames card maker is free too, with no sign-in and no limit on cards. Each card carries a small wrappedgames.com credit line.
Do you need Game Pass or a subscription for Xbox Playback?
No. Game Pass is not on Microsoft's list of requirements for Playback. To watch on console you need at least 1 minute of qualifying gameplay on console, and on the web you sign in with your Xbox account. The card maker here needs no subscription and no account at all.
How long does it take to make an Xbox Playback games card?
About two minutes for five games, once you have your hours at hand. The card redraws as you type, and Download PNG saves it right away, with no queue and no sign-up.
Official Xbox Playback rolled out gradually through the day on November 12, 2026, so some players saw it later than others. Microsoft notes that older history can be incomplete or take time to appear in Playback.
What players ask about Xbox Playback games
The questions Xbox players ask when Playback isn't enough, answered for this card maker. It works from the games and hours you type, so each answer says plainly what it can and can't do.
01 Ranked by hours
Is there a website that shows all the Xbox games I've played, ranked by hours played?
WrappedGames ranks your Xbox games by hours played, most played first, from the games and hours you type. It is free and needs no sign-in, but it doesn't read your Xbox account, so the hours come from Xbox.
Your Xbox Playback video shows the games you spent the most time with. For every other game, time played sits in that game's stats on your Xbox profile, one game at a time. On console, press the Xbox button, go to Profile & system, then My profile, then Achievements, pick a game and open its stats. In the Xbox app or on xbox.com, select your gamerpic, open your Xbox profile, go to Achievements, pick a game and open its stats.
Not every game reports time played. Leave the hours blank for those and the card still lists the game.
02 All-year alternative
Are there any alternatives to Xbox Playback that I can use all year round?
Yes. WrappedGames is a free Xbox recap card maker that works on any day, in any country, on a phone or a computer, with no sign-in.
Xbox Playback is a personalized video, available from November 12 to December 31, 2026 in 15 countries, and it fills in your stats for you. Here you type your games and hours instead, and you can make a new card whenever your numbers change.
03 Can't access Playback
I can't access Xbox Playback. Is there another tool that can generate my Xbox gaming recap?
Yes. WrappedGames makes an Xbox gaming recap card from the games and hours you type, with no Xbox sign-in, so it works when Playback doesn't show up for you. It is free, and the card is ready as soon as you finish typing.
Before you give up on Playback, check the usual reasons it is missing. It is offered in 15 countries only, it rolled out gradually, and your account needs at least 1 Gamerscore, 1 achievement and 1 minute of qualifying gameplay. The console version needs that minute on console, so if the dashboard option is missing, try xbox.com/XBOXPlayback, signed in to the right account.
04 Missing games
My Xbox Playback seems to be missing some games. What other tools can I use to check my play history?
Use your Xbox profile. Its Achievements list shows the Xbox games played on your account, and each game's stats show time played when the game reports it. Microsoft notes that older history can be incomplete or take time to appear in Playback.
WrappedGames can't check your history, because it never connects to your account. What it can do is put the missing games back: add each one with its hours and the card ranks it with the rest.
05 Custom recap card
What tool can I use to turn my Xbox stats into a custom recap card to share with friends?
WrappedGames, the free card maker at the top of this page. Add your most played games and hours. You can also add your total hours, Gamerscore, achievements, first game, top year, longest streak and a gamerpic.
Pick the Recap or Receipt layout, a Feed 4:5, Story 9:16 or Square 1:1 size and one of four color palettes. Then download a PNG, send it from your phone with Share, or copy the list as text for a group chat. No account, and nothing you type is uploaded.
06 Compare with friends
Is there a site where my friends and I can compare our most-played Xbox games and achievements?
Not on WrappedGames: there are no accounts here, so there is no shared leaderboard.
What works is a side by side post. Each of you makes a card in the same layout and size, then you share them in a group chat or thread. On Xbox, a friend's profile shows their games and achievements if their privacy settings allow it.
07 Export to a spreadsheet
Is there a tool that can export my Xbox playtime and achievements to a spreadsheet?
Not here. WrappedGames never connects to your Xbox account, so it can't pull out your playtime or achievements.
The closest thing it offers is Copy as text, which copies the list you typed, one game per line with its hours. Your full numbers stay on Xbox: time played in each game's stats, and achievements in the Achievements list on your Xbox profile.
08 Xbox and Steam
Is there a gaming tracker that combines my Xbox and Steam stats into one recap?
WrappedGames isn't a tracker, since it reads neither Xbox nor Steam, but one recap card can hold both.
Type your Xbox games and your Steam games with their hours, rename the card, for example to My Xbox and Steam games, and it ranks them together and adds up the total. Steam shows hours played for each game in your library, and Xbox shows them in each game's stats on your profile.
09 From screenshots
Can I make a custom gaming recap from screenshots of my Xbox stats without connecting my account?
Yes. WrappedGames never asks for an Xbox account. It doesn't read screenshots for you, so open your screenshot or your Xbox profile next to this page and type the game names and hours.
A five-game card takes about two minutes, and nothing you type leaves your browser.

Can you still play your Xbox Playback games?
Often, yes. Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One run hundreds of backward compatible games from Xbox 360 and the Original Xbox, so many games from the start of your list still play today.
On PC, Xbox started adding Original Xbox games on July 22, 2026, beginning with BLiNX, Conker: Live & Reloaded, Crimson Skies and Fuzion Frenzy, and on November 12, 2026 it announced 25 Original Xbox games available on PC. Games that support Xbox Play Anywhere let you buy once and keep your progress between Xbox console and PC.
