postgame
Following the whistle
Postgame refers to the period immediately following a sporting event, or activities occurring during that time: postgame analysis, postgame interviews, the postgame show.
The term extends to any activity that follows a main event: postgame drinks after the concert.
In video gaming, postgame content is what becomes available after completing the main storyline.
