Steam Beta Adds Achievement Sets to Isolate DLC Progress

Steam's client beta now ships Achievement Sets, which let developers split a game's achievements into separate groups so DLC or seasonal content does not wipe a player's existing 100% record.

Base-game and DLC progress are tracked separately. Developers can carve achievements into categories such as single-player or multiplayer. Base-game sets show blue progress bars; DLC sets show purple and only unlock once the add-on is owned. Clearing every achievement in a set earns a set-specific trophy.

Limited-time sets can be archived. Seasonal or event achievements can later be hidden from everyone except players who finished them while they were active.

The achievements page is redesigned around sets. It surfaces overall progress, per-set detail, and individual unlocks. New filters sort by set or lock status, and players can check results against as many as three friends, covering scarce unlocks and DLC content.

Library and profile showcases follow suit. A renamed completed tab lists finished games and finished sets. Completed sets can appear in the Completionist Showcase, and Family Sharing activity shows up in game lists for friend comparisons.

Seventeen titles support the beta today. The supported games include Against the Storm, Age of Wonders 4, American Truck Simulator, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Crusader Kings 3, 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. Store and library pages now indicate when a title uses achievement sets.
