after-game
Once play ends
After-game describes the period following a sporting event or video game session: after-game drinks, after-game analysis.
The term covers activities, feelings, or rituals that happen once play ends—locker room interviews, celebrations, or the quiet deflation of defeat.
In gaming contexts, after-game often refers to content available once the main storyline is complete.
