Steam is a site that allows users to create, discuss, and play games. The users can also see what others who are online are playing. Because of that, you may not be comfortable knowing other gamers can see what you are playing and so you want to know how to hide games on Steam.<\/span><\/p>\nMoreover, you may also want to protect your account from prying eyes who would want to steal it because they can know how much you spent buying games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhen a new gamer joins Steam and goes ahead to play games, all the games they play are saved. The list of games played even indicates the time the user spent playing a particular game.<\/span><\/p>\nBy default, the user profile is public, as there are third parties that require the data. These third parties are great because they use your data to give you information when your favourite game is available.<\/span><\/p>\nAn example of such software is IsThereAnyDeal. To control who sees what and who doesn’t do this:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHiding Games from Steam Profile:<\/span><\/h2>\nYou need to make your profile private if you do not want to display your information by following these steps:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- On the Steam interface, look for your username, click on it then choose the profile.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- From the above step, choose edit profile, which allows you to make changes.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Look for my privacy settings and change game details from the public to private.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
After the above process, your games will not be visible to your friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHiding Games from Steam Chat:<\/span><\/h2>\nYou want to hide the game you are currently playing. Here is how to do it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Look for the friends and chat button and click on it<\/span><\/li>\n
- Select your username\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- Choose invisible or offline<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The above process will successfully bar gamers from seeing the game you are playing through steam chat. This is different from hiding games on the steam profile. If you hide games on steam chat and leave your steam profile public, gamers can see your games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHowever, if you hide games from the Steam profile, even if you set your steam chat to visible, your friends cannot see your games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
