I don't think leaderboard is the correct word here as I do not wish for a leaderboard in the profile. The idea behind it would be "You're checking out my profile, now look at this highscore I made in this game. Can you do better?" It's a challenge to the onlooker, not a display of position.
Hello @Managor, for transparency, I adjusted the issue report title because it was needlessly inconsistent with the API that you're asking to have more visibility. There's no point in making it harder for a Steam developer to understand which data set you're referring to and doesn't change the intent of your request.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Many games have minigames that have highscores that they could be proud of. For example Yakuza 0 has several. Archievements are only good for showing off milestones and this feature could be used to boast about a really good high score to friends and challenge them.
No global leader-boards though as those always devolve into cheating. Just a marker for friends that this score was achieved. Achievements don't fulfill this purpose because they're always milestones.
The API already exists and many games use it. It is just a simple matter of the Steam profile pulling from that API. https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/leaderboards
