Steam offers customers instant access to thousands of games, from Action to Indie and everything in-between. Steam users receive exclusive deals and automatic game updates, can gift games to friends, trade items, and even create new content for games via the Steam Workshop. Join the Steam community to meet new friends, and play with over 75 million gamers from around the world. Steam offers an extensive catalog of PC, Mac, and Linux games.
When you purchase a game on Steam, we offer the option to “gift” the item to anyone you choose, whether or not the recipient is a current Steam user. The recipient will receive the gift as an attractive e-mail card with a personal message from you and instructions to redeem the game.A Steam gift purchase is a one-time transfer—after the recipient has redeemed and installed the gift, it is now a part of his or her Steam games collection. Also note that you may only gift new purchases—you may not transfer games you already own. That’d be like wrapping up and presenting the toaster you’ve used every morning for the past year.
Steam items, in-game items and games (referred to as Steam Gifts) are tradable. To be sure if an item is tradable, please go to your Inventory and select the item and read the item details. The “Tags” section will indicate if it is tradable or not.
