experience bar

Gaming progress meter

An experience bar is a visual indicator in video games showing progress toward the next level, typically displayed as a horizontal bar that fills from left to right as points accumulate.

When the bar reaches full, the character levels up and gains new abilities or stats: I'm so close to leveling—my experience bar is almost full.

Often shortened to XP bar.
