Steam is one of the top digital game distributors around on Mac and Windows. There is also an Android app that allows you to connect to your Steam Account. From the mobile app, you can view content, make game purchases and redeem codes

What Is a Steam Code?

There are two types of Steam codes that can be redeemed on the mobile app, computer or on the website. The first is the code you receive when you purchase a game on Steam. You will then use this code to activate and install the new game on your Steam Account.

The second is the best gift you can get as a gamer! This code comes in the form of a gift card or wallet code. Your Steam account will be credited with the amount of the gift card or wallet code by redeeming this. You can then use this for games or other items on Steam

Redeeming a Steam Code for a Purchased Game.

Step 1: Open and Log in to Steam

Open the application and log in to your Steam account.

Step 2: Click on ‘Games’

Click on the ‘Games’ tab found at the top of your screen.

Step 3: Activate a Product on Steam

In the drop-down list that appears, click on ‘Activate a product’ on Steam and follow the on-screen prompts. You will be asked to enter your code. 

Step 4: Install Game

Once the code is activated, you will find the game in your library and can install it from there by clicking on the game.

Redeeming a Steam Gift Card and Wallet Code

Step 1: Log in to Steam and Click on ‘Games’

Step 2: Redeem a Steam Wallet Code
