Change Steam ID - Here's how

Register on Steam, set your personal Steam ID. In this article, we show you whether you can change them later.

Change Steam ID later

The Steam ID is your individual account name for the Steam game portal. You set it at the very beginning when you registered.

• Your Steam ID is irrevocably set. You cannot change them afterwards. But that's not really bad, because ultimately you only need the ID to log in to Steam.
• Your friends and other players won't see your Steam ID, but your ad name. Unlike your ID, you can change it at any time on Steam.
• Alternatively, you can delete your old Steam account and create a new Steam account with your desired ID. But be careful: In this case, all of your purchased games, statistics and trading cards will be lost.
