RetroAchievements

Community-created achievements for thousands of retro games. Earn badges, compete on leaderboards, and prove your skills in games that never had achievements.

  • Track your progress across your entire library
  • Compete on global leaderboards
  • Unlock badges and build your profile
  • Hardcore mode available for purists

Connecting Your Account

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Find the RetroAchievements Integration section

Your password is stored locally with encryption and is never sent to Afterplay servers.
