Fresh Xbox Achievements 2026: DLC split, platinum-style finish, and profile cleanups

With Microsoft signaling more Xbox Achievements updates in 2026, fans are pushing for three main changes: separate DLC achievements from base completion to avoid affecting 100% status, introduce or better support a 'platinum' style finish for fully completed titles (plus developer tooling), and allow players to delete games and their achievements from profiles (with safeguards to prevent abuse), while also discussing related options like hiding progress and backwards-compatibility improvements.

Gold, Silver & Platinum Forecast: Gold Stalls Near $5,000 as Pullback Persists

Gold remains under pressure around the $5,000 level as Treasury yields slide and the dollar dips, testing support near $4,956 after breaking below the $5,100–$5,120 zone and the 50-day moving average; silver hovers around $78–$79 with a break above potentially targeting $86–$87, while platinum rebounds above $2,080 on dip buying with palladium strength supporting the complex, though oil and geopolitics keep catalysts limited in the near term.

ISS Microbes Extract Platinum and Palladium From Meteorites

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station used bacteria and the fungus Penicillium simplicissimum to bioleach platinum and palladium from L-chondrite meteorite samples. The experiments showed microgravity enhances the fungus’s metal uptake and release, making space-based bioleaching more effective than on Earth and highlighting a potential path toward mining valuable metals in space, alongside ongoing asteroid-mining efforts like TransAstra.

Pandora Bets on Platinum to Tame Silver Volatility

Pandora will shift at least half of its silver-based jewelry to platinum plating over the next year to curb exposure to rising silver costs, introducing a platinum-plated line and a metal alloy to keep prices accessible. Platinum has risen less than silver, and the company has hedged most silver exposure for 2026, but tariffs and softness in the U.S. consumer backdrop weigh on earnings as Pandora seeks to preserve its affordable-luxury image.

Silver Clears $100 as Gold Near $5,000 in 2026 Metals Rally

Silver rose above $100 per troy ounce for the first time (settling near $101.33), gold hovered at about $4,979.70, and platinum hit a record $2,741.30 as a broad precious-metals rally persisted in early 2026. The run is driven by lower U.S. interest rates, a weaker dollar, and persistent fiscal deficits, with Goldman Sachs lifting its year-end gold target to $5,400 per ounce, signaling strong demand for haven assets.

"Boosting Fuel Cell Efficiency: The Caffeine Solution"

Researchers in Japan have found that adding caffeine to fuel cells can enhance their efficiency, reduce the need for platinum in electrodes, and significantly lower the cost of production. This discovery could lead to more widespread adoption of fuel cells in various applications, such as powering datacenters and electric vehicles. Additionally, other projects around the world are exploring the use of fuel cells for datacenter power, indicating a growing interest in this technology.
