## Introduction

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

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

## Create

To create a new Stat Instance select the type StatDataAsset.

## Configuration

Select the new stat asset data object and set the API Name to match the value you defined in you Steamworks Developer Portal for the stat.

## Use

To get started using the stat create a variable in your Blueprint of type Stat Data Asset and set the default value to the desired stat.

You can now drag off that variable to access features of the stat for reading and setting values.
