-[[Social Rewards]] are [[Rewards]] that have meaning to players because they let them have social regard among other players.

 Games pose challenges to players, and typically give rewards to players for overcoming these. However, not all these rewards provide benefits to players in the game (e.g. through improving a player's future possibilities of succeeding with actions or by unlocking new content). One other type of reward that players can get from games is [[Social Rewards]], rewards that work toward to making players be appreciated in some form by other players.
