For those thinking of unlocking all those sweet Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection achievements, you may want to hold off. On top of all the other issues the game is currently facing, it appears that Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection has an unobtainable Xbox achievement — a massive shame for the remaster that had the potential to be one of the best Xbox third-person shooters.

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection Xbox achievements tainted by unobtainble

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection has had a pretty bad launch on Xbox, with players rightly complaining about bad controls, woeful multiplayer servers, and numerous other issues. However, players have also found that the remastered collection also has an unobtainable Xbox achievement — the worst kind of unobtainable Xbox achievement.

While all unobtainables are bad, the worst kind (at least to me, anyway) are the platinum trophy-style achievements. With PlayStation trophy lists, you'll often find a platinum trophy that unlocks after you've popped all the other trophies in the game. When it comes to an Xbox achievement list for the same game, a developer will sometimes just copy across the trophy list, complete with the platinum, without doing the work behind the scenes to ensure it will unlock on Xbox. This is what we're seeing with Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection.

Players are reporting that the Marshal Commander achievement, which unlocks once you've popped all other achievements in the game, is failing to unlock. So far, seven TA members have met the requirements to unlock this achievement, but not one of them has it, which is a shame. Hopefully, we'll see a fix soon, along with all the other issues players are reporting.

In a statement about the bungled launch, Apsyr said it "experienced critical errors" with its network infrastructure for Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection, which resulted in "incredibly high ping, matchmaking errors, crashes, and servers not appearing in the browser." According to Aspyr, it has been working to address these issues and increase network stability.

As for Aspyr's other recent release, the developer rolled out an update earlier this week for the fantastic Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered that fixed two unobtainable Xbox achievements.
