    Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.

    What are Sessions anyway?

    I'm sure someone has answered this somewhere, but I still don't know what they are. When viewing your achievements on GB, the graphs show you your average sessions with different games and genres. Is this how many times I have played them or something?

    I believe a session is the playtime since you start playing the game until you stop playing it.

    Like on any given day? Like let's say I played Assassin's Creed 2 today for 2 hours, then session data for that day would be 2 hours? Or does it include all days?

    @RsistncE: I think a session would be just those two hours. I might be wrong though, so you can always PM a Mod just to be sure.

    @Snail: If that's true, then what do the numbers mean? It says my session for BF1943 is 67

    I'm not sure about the numbers on the first graph, where it compares your session data with the GB crew. I feel like that's playtime-related, since how could you log 36 sessions in one day, but I'm not sure.
     
    But the charts that show you what game/genre you have played the most are purely based on how many times you launch the game.

    @natetodamax: All it means is that you played the game 67 times.
