Security 51 All 69 Steam Achievements

Every badge confirmed at launch — route careers, not random clicks.

Last updated:

Security 51 ships with 69 Steam achievements (also listed on GOG) as of the August 12, 2026 launch. Alawar mixes checkpoint skill badges, isolation ward grinds, Machina Fatorum crisis resolutions, and pop-culture witness events. This page lists every confirmed name with practical unlock notes. No promo codes unlock any badge — progress comes from shifts documented across Guides Hub and Walkthrough Hub.
