Minecraft update fixes over 100 broken Xbox achievements on Nintendo Switch

By Sean Carey,

Mojang Studios has rolled out a new update for Minecraft on Nintendo Switch that fixes all 125 broken Xbox achievements in the game.

In recent months, unlocking Xbox achievements in Minecraft (Nintendo Switch) has been pretty unreliable, so much so that all 125 achievements in the game were flagged as unobtainable or partly discontinued/unobtainable. Now, a new update appears to have fixed all of Minecraft's achievements on Nintendo Switch.
