The feature splits a game's achievements into groups, such as single-player and co-op, and adds a separate category for DLC achievements. Base game sets display in blue, DLC sets in purple, and DLC achievements are excluded from a game's overall completion rate until the player owns that content. A companion Achievement Archive lets developers archive achievements, including seasonal ones, so missed time-limited achievements no longer block 100 percent completion. Players who already unlocked an archived achievement keep it visible on their profile, and developers received a rebuilt Steamworks achievement editor with CSV import and export, bulk moving, and developer-only test sets. The beta also adds set-by-set progress bars, a Set Complete trophy, and a comparison tool for up to three friends.","whyItMatters":"Valve is treating the completion percentage as a record worth preserving rather than a running tally, which changes what 100 percent means on Steam from a moving target into a snapshot a developer can freeze.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eValve revised the wording across the achievements page at the same time. \u0026#34;All Achievements Unlocked\u0026#34; is now \u0026#34;Completed,\u0026#34; and the label applies to games that have been beaten as well as games whose achievement sets are finished.

Developers can also archive seasonal or limited-time achievements, keeping them visible only for players who earned them.
