An experience point (XP) is a unit of measurement used in many games to track a character’s progress and growth. Players earn XP by completing tasks, defeating enemies, or achieving goals within the game. As a character gains XP, they usually level up, which can improve their abilities, skills, or stats. Experience points serve as a way to mark a character’s development, rewarding players for their actions and decisions, and encouraging continued progress throughout the game.
