Microsoft is said to be considering the idea of having Xbox One owners acquire achievements through watching TV.<\/p>\n
The news comes from a patent that has been spotted, which was filed in November 2012, and essentially describes the concept of viewers gaining Xbox One achievements for reaching milestones when watching television shows.<\/p>\n
“Television viewing tends to be a passive experience for a viewer, without many opportunities for the viewer to engage or have interactive experiences with the presented content,” the application’s description reads. “To increase interactive viewing and encourage a user to watch one or more particular items of video content, awards and achievements may be tied to those items of video content.”<\/p>\n
On top of the achievements, the patent also makes mention of rewards in the form of new clothes and props for avatars, virtual in-game money or even physical prizes.<\/p>\n
