Editions and remasters
The Xbox 360 version was no longer offered for sale on the Microsoft Store when we checked, so if you do not already own it, the easiest way to play Brotherhood on Xbox is The Ezio Collection on Xbox One, which is in Game Pass Ultimate through Ubisoft+ Classics.
DLC and expansions
The story add-on The Da Vinci Disappearance adds ten achievements worth 250 Gamerscore on Xbox 360 and is also part of The Ezio Collection. The online multiplayer from the original is not included in the collection.
Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood achievements
On Xbox, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood has 60 achievements worth 1,250 Gamerscore: 50 (1,000G) in the base game and 10 (250G) from DLC and updates. By our average across several achievement and trophy guides, it rates 6/10 for difficulty, and a completion takes roughly 30 to 45 hours, mostly for the base game.
Mailer Daemon and Dust to Dust must be done before the story ends. The ten multiplayer achievements can no longer be unlocked since the Xbox 360 online services closed.

Brotherhood sits between Assassin’s Creed II and Revelations in the Ezio trilogy, and between them in release order too. By the release dates on our game hubs, it came after Assassin’s Creed II (20 November 2009) and before Assassin’s Creed Revelations (15 November 2011).
