Before You Start

The Walking Dead: Michonne has 21 achievements worth 1,000 Gamerscore on Xbox One, split evenly across its three episodes. Every achievement is tied to story progress. Each episode has seven achievement-bearing chapters, and finishing the seventh completes the episode and awards that episode's finale achievement. Nothing depends on choices, dialogue, quick-time event performance, or collectibles, so one playthrough is all you need.

  • Achievements: 21 total, 1,000 Gamerscore. Episode 1: In Too Deep is the base game (330G). Episode 2: Give No Shelter (330G) and Episode 3: What We Deserve (340G) are add-ons that come with the Complete Season.
  • Missables: None. Choices change the story but never lock out an achievement.
  • Playthroughs: One.
  • Difficulty settings: None. The only related option is the interface/hint level (Standard or Minimal), and it doesn't affect achievements. If you fail a quick-time event and die, you restart from a recent checkpoint with no penalty.
  • Online: Not needed for gameplay. Stay online anyway so unlocks register reliably (see the bug note below).
  • Unobtainable achievements: None known. As of October 2026 the Complete Season is still for sale on the Xbox Store, published by Skybound Games, and it is cloud-playable on Game Pass Premium and Ultimate.

Version Notes

This guide covers the Xbox One list, which is also what you get when you play on Xbox Series X/S. A separate Xbox 360 version exists with its own 21-achievement, 1,000G list. Its titles and requirements match this one, and it has been backward compatible on Xbox One since August 2017. The Xbox 360 Marketplace closed in July 2024, so check the Xbox Store before counting on being able to buy the 360 edition today. If you already own it, or can still get it, repeat this route on it.

On Xbox, Episodes 2 and 3 are add-ons. Before you start, open the game's Manage Game page and confirm both episode add-ons are installed. Otherwise you may reach the end of Episode 1 and have nothing to launch.

Achievement Tracking Bug

HISTORICALLY REPORTED BUG (reports from 2022 through 2024; status as of October 2026 unverified): A chapter achievement sometimes failed to unlock even though the chapter was finished, and the episode-completion achievement could fail along with it. Some unlocks also arrived late. None of the achievements is unobtainable.

Optional precautions, based on player troubleshooting rather than confirmed fixes:

  • Stay signed in and online.
  • Keep your controller charged so it doesn't switch off mid-chapter.
  • Fully quit the game between sessions instead of relying on Quick Resume.
  • Let each chapter transition and each end-of-episode screen finish before going back to the menu. This isn't required, but it costs almost nothing.

If a notification doesn't appear: don't stop to replay anything. Keep playing through all three episodes. Missed unlocks are fixed in the Cleanup section at the end of this guide.

Chapter 7: Season Finale

Farewell

Unlocks when you finish Chapter 7, the last chapter of Episode 3, and is reported to pop at the final choices screen. You don't need to watch the credits for it.

Cleanup

Missing Achievements

Do this only after all three episodes are finished.

  1. Open the game's achievement list on Xbox and check which of the 21 are actually missing. A missing pop-up doesn't always mean a missing unlock, and some unlocks arrive late.
  2. Fully close the game, and restart the console if you can.
  3. Optional: to keep your finished save, go to Main Menu → Save Files → Copy, then select the copy before rewinding. Rewinding discards all progress after the chosen checkpoint in that save.
  4. Go to Main Menu → Play → select the episode → Rewind, and choose the checkpoint for the chapter whose achievement is missing. Play to the end of that chapter. For a missing episode-completion achievement, rewind to the final chapter of that episode.
  5. If replaying the chapter doesn't unlock it, replay the whole episode from its first chapter. Using a wired controller is an optional extra precaution.
Recovery isn't guaranteed: Replaying fixed missed unlocks for some players, but others needed more than one attempt.
