Steam achievement statistics

Steam publishes the percentage of players who earned every achievement, but only one game at a time. This is the aggregate: what unlock rates look like across 940 games and 66,309 achievements, and where individual games fall in that distribution.

The average Steam achievement is earned by 19.2% of players

75 of 940 games have an average unlock rate below 5% — meaning the typical achievement in those games is earned by fewer than one player in twenty. 320 games contain at least one achievement earned by under 1% of players.

Method and limitations

  • Source: Steam's public global achievement statistics endpoint. The sample is every Steam player who owns the game, not visitors to this site.
  • Sample: 940 games carrying achievement data in the GamersPilot catalogue, measured through 2026-07-28. Steam refreshes these percentages continuously; we re-read each game monthly.
  • Average unlock rate is the mean across a game's achievements — a proxy for how far the typical player gets, not a completion count.
  • Excluded: games where Steam returns every percentage as zero (a broken feed rather than an impossibly hard game), and games with fewer than 10 achievements in the ranked tables, where the denominator is too small to mean anything. Steam rounds values below 0.05% to zero.
