A new beta release for the Steam client includes scoped-achievements.

Achievements can now be split into game mode specific, DLC specific and seasonal specific achievements.

In theory, this will now allow players to achieve achievement completion, even though they're not interested in the multiplayer aspect of a game.

That's really cool! It does require developers to go through and set it all up though. I wonder if the DLC ones can be done automatically?

(Not at my PC so can't check stuff)

    As of now, the only game in my library that supports it is Euro Truck Simulator 2. The Witcher 3 (even with the new remastered update) doesn't have this feature and also doesn't categorize it into DLC-specific achievements for example.

    I don't know how it could be, because AFAIK this data point is exactly what's missing. The only heuristic would be "was achievement XYZ added before or after DLC ABC released?", but that's gonna be inaccurate in tons of cases.
