## Introduction

Steam Achievements are a simple concept keyed on the `API Name` of the achievement. You would have created the achievement in your Steamworks Developer Portal and defined its `API Name` there. You can create a Data Asset to represent your achievement in your game content making it easier to manage and work with that specific achievement.

You can create a Data Asset in your project for each of your achievements

## Create 

Create a new Data Asset Instance of type AchievementDataAsset

## Use

To use the achievement you can simply create a variable of type AchievementDataAsset and set its default value to be the instance you just created.
