About this tag
This tag collects WindowsForum.com discussion about game achievements, with a focus on how achievement systems work on PC and across platforms. The recent tagged thread examines Valve's Steam Achievement Sets beta, which aims to let completionists keep 100% completion status after DLC or seasonal updates add new objectives. The discussion places that change in context by comparing Steam's long-static implementation with Microsoft's Xbox achievement system introduced in 2005 and Sony's PlayStation approach of separating base-game trophies from expansion lists. Readers interested in achievement tracking, completionist concerns, and how platform holders evolve their reward systems will find the tagged coverage relevant.
