Surviving Mars

The same ^^

I was on my laptop matched betting when this popped 🤷‍♂️. Not even had it installed for the last 18 months.

Haven't played this since October 1st of 2020 and this just popped while I was watching Criminal Minds on Hulu...

Same here not touched for years ,I even forgot about the game and popped for no reason

Still randomly popping... hadn't played this for ages, popped whilst playing something else entirely.

wtf

Add one to the "Randomly popping years on after uninstalling" crew.

Thought someone in my family had been playing on my account when I turned my console on! Easiest achievement ever?

it popped for me when I was looking at the achievement list when comparing games to a friend on xbox

Popped when o started the game :)

Same here ,game isnt installed anymore and still got ach.

ditto

Popped for me today while playing Ikenfell. Very odd

i was watching youtube vids and heard the achievement sound didnt know what happened till now that i look at TA ROFL

It has unlocked for me but neither my pc or xbox have been turned on today! WTF?

I was tamping, not so bad now I found out it was put as a title update on it's own, very strange.

I was just clearing out some drawers in real life when my phone suddenly tells me I unlocked an achievement. I thought someone had hijacked my account lol

This achievement popped while I wasn't even gaming. Haven't played this in over a year 🤣

Not cool on the autopopping

Mine popped as I was going through my all achievements list on Xbox. It hasn’t been installed for around 1.5 years And, I also had to go to TA to see what popped. It didn’t show up on Xbox at all.

I literally just unlocked this. Not even on my xbox or the app? Dont have game installed, havent played in about 13 months? What?

i haven't played this game since 2018, watching videos while my xbox is on the home screen and this randomly unlocks. im glad im not the only one as i thought my account had been hacked which would be weird as if you log into a different console the current console gets logged out.

I was playing Art of Rally when this popped for me, really confused me when I saw it pop up on my TA feed.

Mine just popped while I was listening to Spotify and don’t even have the game installed

Same here :)

I ghost popped this achievement also lol. I haven't played this in quite some time also.

Same as most of the others, it popped overnight for me after not having had the game installed for over a year

1040G looking like sh*t... why does this even pop.

Mine popped whilst I was updating a GOG game oO

Same here. Popped while I wasn't home.

Forza Motorsport 7 for me. It was a bit of a wtf moment, but 40gs is 40gs thankfully didn't do any damage to the TA hangman challenge.

I'm relieved that I wasn't the only one to receive

I just got this, not even on xbox at the time lol.

i was a work at the time

For some reason, it was way harder for me. I had to install the DLC and launch the game. The achievement unlocked prior to it telling me there was a title update to install.

the only way I can link this achievement to something happening.

I opened the GOG Galaxy app, and I guess while my games were synchronizing that triggered the achievement to pop.

I don't know how this popped, or why the Xbox version didn't pop

I have no idea what triggered mine... I was watching youtube on the PC with no console on.

I just opened friend's achievements list through xbox.com, clicked on Surviving Mars game and the achievement popped. Weird.

Mine also triggered when I opened the GOG Galaxy app in order to add the game Ghostrunner from Prime Gaming. Don't even have access to the game anymore via Xbox since it left Game Pass, only through the Epic store when it was free.

Also unlocked for me when I opened GOG Galaxy on my PC. I don't have Surviving Mars installed, and haven't played it for 18 months.

Got mine today when browsing this game, totally unexpected lol

I last played this game on April 8th 2020 but somehow I unlocked this one while I was sleeping today!

I didn't even have the xbox on. Absolutely spooky.

i just opened up TA and saw this was my last unlocked achievement?...

spooked me when it unlocked earlier

I haven't got the game installed and haven't played in over a year and didn't see it pop but apparently it did.....thanks I guess lol

Thanks GOG!

Randomly got this today, havnt played in like 2 years

Got this today while washing dishes 😂 Xbox wasn’t even on

I got the achievement by check it achievement list on Xbox lol

+1 - unlocked by itself yesterday.

Saw it here on TA and my first thought was "damn, my account has been hacked!"... 😁

Definitely spooky as hell...

This randomly popped whilst comparing achievements in this game with a friend. I haven't launched the game in 19 months 😂

I was importing my profile into GOG Galaxy?

Unlocked for me today when I was asleep.

I was also importing my profile into GOG today and it popped... haven't played since April.

I was just comparing achievements with a friend and looked at our Surviving Mars scores and the achievement popped. Confused the hell out of me.

just got this randomly while playing flashback 25th anniversary. got paranoid thinking my account was hacked. glad to see many people have gotten this randomly :P

This unlocked today and my Xbox wasn't even running. I was sleeping. Creepy.

This just secured my streak for today. I was literally so confused? I was sleeping lol.

I didn't do nothing and today was on my notifications. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Just popped today while in the middle of playing through a game to get to 800k on the dot. Thanks for ruining my plans :(

Unlocked for me while updating my GoG account. I shant complain

I was looking at my achievements and this unlocked, havent even got the game downloaded

Likewise, scanned in my profile on GoG Galaxy, achievement popped, very strange.

This just unlocked for me to today. Haven’t played the base game since last year, this might be the easiest achievement of all time.

Literally just signed up for that other site called xbox achievements, added it to the queue and thought my account got hacked. Aint complaining free achievement! :)

just unlocked on me while my nephew was on xbox was worried i had been hacked lol

Ok I was wondering the same as everyone

Also updated my GoG Library and this achievement popped up on my phone. Haven´t touched the game for 2 years now. But I´m not complaining tho... :]

Cyber Monks@ same here lol I was worried for a moment. But hey I won’t complain.

Dude what the fuck. I don't even have this game installed on my system anymore and it just gives me this achievement this morning randomly at 7am.

same lol, I wondered if this happened to everyone else.

I didn't play this game since august 2019, and this achievement just popped out of nowhere

Achievement just popped lol

This just unlocked for me and I haven’t played Surviving Mars in a long time now lol

haha awesome! the game is not installed, but I went to the Game Hub of the game, and then it popped. yay! free 40g!

This unlocked for me when I compared achievements with someone else😁

Just popped for no reason today lol

I was comparing a friend of mine with 0 achievements with 14 days played and this popped while looking at his profile. Felt like I got an achievement for curiosity.

Add me to the list of random pops. (Maybe the longest?)

Last played: April 10th, 2020
Randomly Popped: March 3rd, 2023

Almost 3 years later…

Another 3 years later person also!

But why? Anyone got a clue? I don't own the DLC

yea just popped out of no where lol

Randomly popped for me today while I was in an amusement park bathroom.

Randomly popped for me today while playing Resident Evil 4!

Randomly unlocked when I was sleeping. Thought my account was hacked

I was watching Jesse Dollamore on YouTube when this pop.

popped for me today randomly today without playing the game for a very long time

same as broxy bear

i got this too, guess I'm on the club lol

This unlocks randomly when someone views your Xbox profile.

okay so that's why then...I thought I got hacked or something.

WTF? Received an alert on my phone today and immediately thought someone hacked my MS account. Glad I came here to check lol

I clicked someone’s profile on xbox and it unlocked the achievement so I checked and it popped it for them also wth 🤣

This achievement unlocked 3 years later while I asleep.

Received the notification that I'd completed the title update... haven't touched the game since April 2020. Not sure why it popped for Xbox and not the Windows version.

EDIT: After reading through all the comments, it's because I'd opened GOG Galaxy on my computer.

Got this 2 years after touching this game when I had a third party app scan my Xbox achievements. Really weird.

Was playing assassins creed 3 right now and mountain like cheetah attacked me and i killed it - this unlocked

Weird, I got this randomly on the first day of the new year, nearly three years after last opening the game.

Just got this one while at work, I dont even remember starting the game haha. Apparently did in 2020.

I literally got this out of random just now while playing The Big Con lol, haven’t even touched this game for a few years

Got this right now. LOL

Same here. Was playing Watch Dogs 2 online with a friend and this randomly unlocked. Haven't played this in almost 3 years since when it was on GamePass.

Got it today too while I was at work...

I was having breakfast with my wife for mother's day in a pub and this just popped up on my phone. Thanks!

I just got this now, away from home and 4 years after I last played it... Seems like a weird one, everyone's getting it randomly!

Got it after 4 years and pop randomly.

Thought my account might be hacked when I saw this. Relieved to see it's popping at random for everyone here.

Ditto. Was playing Forza Horizon 4 when I noticed it unlocked in the midde of the night. Haven't played it in years.

Noticed it pop up today. Also thought someone hacked me haha.

Just unlocked this after linking my Xbox and GOG accounts lmao

Popped for me randomly today in the Home Screen lol, game isn't even installed

No idea why the downvotes, this popped for me just now after not playing the game since April of last year

Same here. I also haven't played this game since April 2020, and this achievement randomly unlocked for me today while playing a different game. I don't have the DLC for this game either.

I'm assuming there was some kind of update that caused it to unlock.

As of January 30, 2023, this achievement just unlocked for me and I haven't played this game since May 2, 2020. I will gladly accept the 40 gamerscore though!

Mine unlocked yesterday as I was leaving work, I also hadn't played it in nearly 3 years. There was another game where something similar happened right, like Blind Postman iirc, a title update added achievements and those were unlocking for people without even booting up the game, I just remember it was causing people issues related to the TA score challenge event because it meant they were failing a weekly challenge as a result.
