Configure leaderboard sets

Leaderboard sets organize several leaderboards into a single unit. For example, in a game that includes many levels, you could define a leaderboard set to organize the leaderboards for each level. A single app can have 100 leaderboard sets, and a set can have a maximum of 100 leaderboards.

You must have at least one leaderboard for your app before you can create a leaderboard set. After you add leaderboard sets to your app, all future leaderboards that you configure for the app must be included in a leaderboard set.

The process to start using leaderboard sets to organize your app’s leaderboards includes these steps:

  • Create the first leaderboard set.

  • Create additional leaderboard sets.

  • Add new leaderboards directly into leaderboard sets.

When you create the first leaderboard set, App Store Connect ensures that all existing leaderboards for the app are included in at least one leaderboard set.
