An '''achievement''' is a reward given to players when they accomplish certain gaming feats decided by the developer in videogames published for ''Games for Windows Live'', [[Xbox 360]], [[Xbox One]], and [[Xbox Series X]] consoles, and on Valve's ''Steam'' platform. Since the launch of the Xbox 360, it has been a mandatory requirement by [[Microsoft]] that all videogames published on the console (including 360 versions of multiplatform games) feature achievements.

The "Vidmaster" set of achievements found in Halo 3.

An achievement is a reward given to players when they accomplish certain gaming feats decided by the developer in videogames published for Games for Windows Live, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X consoles, and on Valve's Steam platform. Since the launch of the Xbox 360, it has been a mandatory requirement by Microsoft that all videogames published on the console (including 360 versions of multiplatform games) feature achievements.

Most Microsoft achievements also award the player Gamerscore that count towards a gamer's total Gamerscore. These points, while not redeemable, are intended to serve as a tangible form of special rewards for unusual or skilled actions within game play.[1] Most games contain 30-50 achievements and a total of 1000 Gamerscore, though these numbers can be increased through the release of DLC packs.

On the Xbox 360, Windows and Steam platforms, achievements take the appearance of icons or badges, not unlike the medals which can be found in the Halo games. In contrast to the original small, square achievement icons, Xbox One achievements are represented by large 16x9 images. Rather than icons, these images are often screenshots, concept art, or other related imagery. These images may or may not include additional text, such as the name of the title or a developer logo.
