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

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.

What you can check

None of these is confirmed to fix missing Xbox achievements.

  1. Confirm the Microsoft account shown in the game is the one you want on your Xbox profile.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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

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.

Did this fix it?
