unlockables
Achievements you discover
Unlockables are hidden features, characters, items, or content in video games that become available after meeting certain conditions—completing levels, earning achievements, or accumulating points.
The term has spread beyond gaming to describe any rewards that must be earned rather than purchased or accessed immediately: The premium tier includes exclusive unlockables.
