Xbox Achievements Not Unlocking in Dungeons II
SymptomAchievements pop on Steam or in the game but not on your Xbox profile, or a specific achievement (such as Back to Back) does not unlock.
If Xbox achievements and gamerscore are not unlocking in Minecraft Dungeons II (Minecraft Dungeons 2), you are not alone, and no confirmed fix exists yet. Players on Steam say achievements pop on Steam but not on the linked Xbox profile, and Mojang has not said whether that is intended. This page lists player reports as of Oct 3, 2026, and separates them from what is confirmed.
What is confirmed
- The Steam store page lists the game’s achievements and the Steam version offers an optional Microsoft account link. See Microsoft account link failed if the link itself fails.
- We found no Mojang patch note or support article that explains Xbox achievements on Steam or on Switch 2, and none that confirms a fix.
What players report
These are player posts from Steam discussions and r/MinecraftDungeons between Sept 29 and Oct 3, 2026. None is confirmed by Mojang.
- Steam: Xbox profile shows the game but 0 achievements. One poster says the game linked their accounts automatically and appears on their Xbox profile, but they have 0% achievements and 0 gamerscore even though it worked in the first game. Other posters in the thread agree.
- Steam: only Steam achievements pop. A second thread asks whether it works like other Microsoft titles on Steam, and a Reddit poster says achievements show on Steam but not on their Xbox profile after linking. A third thread’s top replies call it probably intentional, one guessing Xbox achievements need the Microsoft Store version. That is a guess, not an official statement.
- Mojang feedback post. A reply in the third Steam thread links a Mojang feedback post with this problem as its title and asks players to upvote it. We could not load it, so we have no information on its status.
- Stopped unlocking. One Reddit poster asks whether anyone else’s Xbox achievements stopped unlocking, with no detail.
- Switch 2. One player has nearly 100% of the game and no achievement at all, with a linked Microsoft account, and wonders if their offline hero is the cause. No answer yet. Other Switch 2 offline-hero problems are covered on console sign-in stuck.
- Back to Back (Steam, online co-op). Two players completed all four missions, with the host starting and finishing each, and the achievement never appeared. Restarting the game and PC, replaying the missions and changing the system date did not help.
- Merchant gear achievement (Xbox). A player bought special gear from the merchant several times and the achievement for it did not unlock. The same post says an Echo Golem quest keeps reappearing after being completed. One player, not confirmed.
- Track Record (Xbox). One Reddit poster says they visited all 27 stations multiple times and the achievement is stuck at 96%. One player, not confirmed.
- Launcher-to-Steam transfer. A Steam poster who first bought in the Minecraft Launcher says only the character synced to Steam, not achievements, play time or pre-order bonuses.
What you can check
None of these is confirmed to fix missing Xbox achievements.
- Confirm the Microsoft account shown in the game is the one you want on your Xbox profile.
- Check that Steam shows the achievement. If it does, the game recorded it and the problem is the sync to Xbox, which players cannot change.
- For Back to Back, the poster’s host started and finished all four missions with the partner in each. Nobody has posted the exact requirements or a way to retry, so we cannot say more.
- Wait for an official response. Nothing players tried (restarting the game and PC, replaying the missions, changing the date) is reported to have worked.
What is unconfirmed
- Whether Xbox achievements are meant to work on the Steam version, or on Switch 2 with an offline hero.
- Whether Back to Back and the merchant achievement are bugs or have requirements players have not met.
- Whether achievements recorded now will sync to Xbox after a patch.
We will update this page after an official response or patch notes. For the full list of achievements Steam shows, see how long to beat.
FAQ
Why don't I get Xbox achievements on the Steam version?
Three Steam threads and a Reddit post describe it: achievements pop on Steam but nothing reaches the linked Xbox profile. One poster guesses it is intentional and that Xbox achievements need the Microsoft Store version. Mojang has not said whether it is by design.
Is Mojang aware of the missing Xbox achievements?
A Steam reply links a Mojang feedback post titled "BROKEN: Steam version doesn't earn Xbox achievements" and asks players to vote for it. We could not open that page, so we cannot say how Mojang has responded. There is no patch note about it.
Do Xbox achievements work on Nintendo Switch 2?
One Switch 2 player says they have nearly completed the game with a linked Microsoft account and no achievement, and asks whether their offline hero is the reason. Nobody has answered. This is one report.
The Back to Back achievement did not unlock. What can I do?
One Steam co-op pair completed all four missions with the host starting and ending each one and got no achievement. Restarting the game and PC, repeating the missions and changing the date did not help. There is no fix yet.
Will achievements carry over if I switch from the Minecraft Launcher to Steam?
One Steam poster who bought on the Minecraft Launcher and then on Steam says only the character synced, not achievements, play time or pre-order bonuses. It is a single report.
