Steam lets you view and track DLC achievements separately from base-game achievements when a game supports Achievement Sets. Open the game’s achievements page from your Steam Library or the web Games List, choose its DLC set, and follow that set’s own progress bar; Steam marks DLC progress and trophies in purple and base-game ones in blue.
What you need before you start
You can use Steam’s built-in achievements page; no separate app or purchase of hardware is needed. The important qualification is that the game must support Steam Achievement Sets and have a DLC set defined by its developer. Separate tracking is not guaranteed for every game.

Valve announced on November 11, 2026, that Steam Achievement Sets and the updated achievements page were available to all Steam users. Availability of the overall feature does not mean every game has separate sets: developers define them, and the game must use the tools for a DLC set to appear. Valve’s announcement describes the update and its rollout.
How do I see DLC achievements separately from base-game achievements?
- Open the game’s achievements page. From the Steam Library, go to the game’s entry and open its achievements page. Alternatively, find the game in the Steam web Games List and open its achievements page there.
- Look for the achievement-set list. If the game has separate sets, find the set for the DLC you want to track. Steam groups achievements into sets, so use the set list to distinguish the DLC set from the base-game set.
- Filter to the DLC set. Use the achievement-set filter to focus the page on that set. If you want to narrow the list further, filter for locked or unlocked achievements.
- Track the set’s own progress. Read the progress bar for the selected DLC set to see how far along you are. DLC progress and trophies appear in purple; base-game set progress and trophies appear in blue.
The set filter and the locked/unlocked filter answer different questions: the first identifies which part of the game an achievement belongs to, while the second shows whether you have unlocked it. Keep the DLC set selected when checking its progress so you are looking at that set’s bar rather than overall game progress.

How does DLC progress relate to overall game progress?
Overall game progress is separate from the progress shown for an individual set. Steam excludes DLC achievements from overall game progress until you have access to that DLC. Once you have access, its achievements can appear as purple progress and trophies on the achievements page.
That means the overall figure is not always a complete view of everything listed for a game. If you are trying to finish a particular expansion, use that DLC’s set progress bar; if you want to see base-game progress, use the base-game set. The colors help distinguish the two, but the set-specific progress bar is the clearest way to track what remains in one DLC.

Why can’t I find a DLC achievement set?
If the achievements page has no DLC set or set filter for the game, separate tracking may not be available for that game. The page’s presence in Steam does not guarantee that its developer has set up DLC achievements as a distinct set.
Check that you opened the game’s achievements page rather than a general game listing, then look for the set list and filter. If there is still no DLC set, Steam’s announcement does not establish that separate DLC tracking is supported for that title. You may still be able to explore the game’s possible achievements, but do not assume that a missing set has its own progress bar or that it contributes to overall progress.

What else can I do on the updated achievements page?
The updated page brings together overall game progress, progress for individual sets, achievement details, Global Stats, and search and filtering. You can use search to locate achievements and filters to focus on a set or on locked and unlocked achievements. The page also lets players explore all possible achievements for a game; that is distinct from whether a DLC achievement is included in overall progress, which depends on access to the content.
How to read the page at a glance
| What you’re viewing | What it tells you | Steam’s display |
|---|---|---|
| Base-game set | Progress and trophies for the base-game achievement set | Blue |
| DLC set | Progress and trophies for a supported DLC achievement set | Purple |
| Locked or unlocked filter | Whether listed achievements have been unlocked | Filter selection |
| Overall game progress | The game’s overall measure, with DLC achievements excluded until you have access to the content | Overall progress display |
What should I use to track one expansion?
For a supported game, select the expansion’s DLC set and use its progress bar. Do not rely on the overall game progress display to tell you how close you are to completing that expansion: overall progress and set progress are different measures, and DLC achievements are excluded from overall progress until you have access to the DLC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see all possible achievements for a Steam game, including DLC ones?
Steam’s updated achievements page allows players to explore all possible achievements for a game. Whether a DLC achievement has its own separately trackable set still depends on the game’s developer supporting Achievement Sets.
Can I search for a specific achievement on Steam’s updated page?
Yes. Valve says the updated page includes search as well as filtering. Search can help locate an achievement, while set and locked/unlocked filters help narrow what is shown.
