As you would expect, the frame rate counter displays the frames per second (FPS) for any particular game you may be running. This can also be customized from the Performance overlay section. On the other hand, the achievement overlay helps you keep track of your progress over time, showcasing what you have unlocked so far, and essentially signaling which ones you can try to go for next.
There"s not much else that needs explaining regarding the usage of these features. You can download the latest update for Xbox Game Bar from the Microsoft Store to check them out.
