Valve Adds Achievement Sets to Steam in Client Beta
The feature lets developers split a game's achievements, including DLC, into separate sets with their own progress bars and a trophy for finishing each one.
Valve has introduced a new Steam feature called achievement sets, which lets developers separate a game's achievements into distinct groups, according to theverge.com. The feature is available now in the latest Steam client beta.
Achievement sets allow developers to list different groups of achievements for a base game and its downloadable content, each with its own progress bar. Completing a set awards a set complete trophy that appears on the player's profile.
Steam will also support seasonal achievement sets, which developers can archive once they are no longer active.
Valve is refreshing the Steam Achievements page alongside the new sets. The redesigned page shows a summary of overall progress, progress within each achievement set, and details on individual achievements.
A handful of games already support achievement sets, including Against the Storm, Age of Wonders 4, American Truck Simulator, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Crusader Kings III, DREDGE, Euro Truck Simulator 2, Forza Horizon 5, Flock Around, He is Coming, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal 2, PowerWash Simulator, PowerWash Simulator 2, Team Fortress 2 and Victoria 3.
