# Retroachievements

RetroAchievements is a system that allows you to earn achievements on retro games. This is very similar to Steam successes.

In order to subscribe to the service, visit the RetroAchievements website [HERE](https://retroachievements.org/) and create an account.

{% hint style="info" %}
Retroachievements in Retrobat are only available for a predefined list of libretro cores that you can find [HERE](https://docs.libretro.com/guides/retroachievements/#cores-compatibility), for Bizhawk and for few standalone emulators (pcsx2, duckstation, ppsspp).
