Valve launches Steam Achievement Sets in beta

–

Neutral summary

Valve has begun beta testing Achievement Sets, a new Steam feature designed to improve the platform's achievement system. Developers can now group related achievements into separate collections with their own progress bars, splitting them by base game, downloadable content (DLC), seasonal updates, and specific game modes. According to Valve, players will still unlock achievements by playing the game as usual, but when browsing their unlocked achievements afterward, they will see them organized into distinct sets. The main goal is to solve the problem where new DLC releases would reset players' 100% completion status and distort their overall game completion records. DTF reports that Achievement Sets have already been added to 17 games. PC Gamer notes the feature is in beta and will likely roll out widely in about a month. Vandal highlights that the update changes how the achievement system is displayed and functions in Steam's beta client. Canaltech adds that the feature aims to make life easier for players who seek to fully complete their favorite games.
