fuzzy343 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I was wondering if I could get achievements that attributed to my Xbox's gamertag from Steam. Like you can buy Fallout 3 and Quantum of Solace on Steam, but I don't know if you can get achievements. Can someone please clarify this for me?

drewmart Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I am fairly sure you can, as the games themselves require "Games for Windows - Live". In those cases Steam would just be used for downloading the games, while GFWL runs while playing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishFury Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 PC games on this list will allow you to log into your live account and add to your gamerscore steam achievements are separate and don't add to gamerscore it would be nice to see support for live achievements added to these games... and have them retroactively add achievements you already earned but that is very unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 no, only windows live and xbox games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChillcoRE Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 no, only windows live and xbox games He means Windows Live games that are purchasable through Steam, like GTA IV and Fallout 3. And the answer is yes, even if you buy them through Steam they still require Windows Live to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatRizzo Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I bought Kane and Lynch through Steam while my xbox was in repair and yes you get Microsoft achievements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daman371 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Is it possible to get gamerscore for Left for Dead 2 if it was downloaded via steam? There's nowhere for me to login using games for Windows Live which is why I am wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All games with 1000+ gamerscore that are listed in the PC Achievements section of this site available on Steam will give you gamerscore for your MS Live gamertag. The only exception is Dark Void which must be bought from marketplace.gamesforwindows.com to gain achievements on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamseBaloo Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 There are some, not many, but I know these three work: Fallout 3/GotY ed Street Fighter 4 GTA4/EpisodesfLC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltimas Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Sorry for awakening this from the dead, didn't want to start new one thread. Will the achievements of a game that is on Xbox 360 and Steam get synced ? **For example; I purchase Fallout 3 on Steam (I don't have it on 360.) If I unlocked achievements, will they get transferred to my Xbox 360 gamer profile? I know the answer is here somewhere but I can't seem to find it.

d0pesheet Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 PC and XBOX achievements are logged separately. You could get the points for PC and also get the points for XBOX. It will list the game twice in your profile, once with the XBOX case and another with the GFWL box. Sorry for awakening this from the dead, didn't want to start new one thread.

Deific Aberrant Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) PC and XBOX achievements are logged separately. You could get the points for PC and also get the points for XBOX. It will list the game twice in your profile, once with the XBOX case and another with the GFWL box. Yep. Go here: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=31059 That lists the GFWL games and I believe the games with a '*' indicate a shared achievement list (second post has the game list). However (kinda off topic), for your example (Fallout 3) the achievements could be 'stacked' for more gamerscore. Thus, you could play the PC version since you don't have it for 360, but if you did get it for 360 it'd be a whole new game....achievement-wise.

Eltimas Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I see, so only the achievements scores are added to your total gamerscore, but the achievements themselves remain locked on the other platform (Only very few games that automatically unlock the other platform achievements when synced) Thanks for the clarification. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
