How To Find Your Steam ID | NEW & Updated in 2024

Wondering if there’s a way to find your Steam ID? In this short guide, we’ll show you the easy ways to two methods to get your Steam account name or ID.

What is a Steam ID?

Steam ID, also known as Steam Account Name, is a unique string of numbers assigned to a particular account. This numeric identifier is used by Valve to identify a user in their Steam game distribution service. This is very useful to keep track of millions of users who use Steam and play on it every day. 

Games can also use your Steam ID when creating or joining servers, and identifying players in a given match. Steam ID has other uses aside from these things.

Everytime you sign up for Steam, you are given a unique 17-digit Steam ID. Unlike Steam Profile Names, which can be changed by a player anytime, a Steam ID is permanent and cannot be changed.

How to find Steam ID?

To find your Steam ID is very simple. The exact steps depends on how you want to find it as you can access your Steam account information via a web browser, or using the Steam client.
