Accept a Steam gift: This is how it works properly

by Pramith

Accepting a Steam gift is very easy and can be done in just a few steps. If you still encounter problems, you can find solutions here

Step-by-step: Accepting a Steam gift

Accepting gifts on Steam is a common process for gamers. If a friend or family member sends you a game as a gift, you’ll need to follow a few steps to add it to your library.

  • Log in to your Steam account and go to your inbox. There you will find a notification about the gift you have received.
  • Click on the notification and then on ‘Accept gift’ to go to the next step.
  • Choose whether you want to add the gift to your own account or give it to another friend.
  • After you have accepted the gift, the game will be added to your Steam library and is ready for download.

Problems redeeming a Steam gift?

There are situations in which accepting a Steam gift does not go so smoothly. This can have various causes, which you can usually resolve quickly.

  • Check whether the game is already in your library. Steam does not allow you to accept a game that you already own.
  • Make sure that your account meets the requirements for the game, e.g. in terms of age rating.
  • Check your inbox for possible restrictions on your account that could prevent you from accepting gifts.
  • If you are experiencing technical issues, try logging out and logging back in or contact Steam Support.
  • Some games on Steam are regionally restricted. This may mean that you cannot accept or use a gift if it is from a different region.
