Can you see who viewed your Steam profile?
No. Steam keeps no record of who viewed your profile and has no view counter, so no site or app can tell you who viewed your Steam profile. It works both ways: when you open someone else's profile, they aren't notified.
Why no site can show your profile viewers
Steam doesn't log profile visits anywhere an app can read. The profile data Valve gives developers through GetPlayerSummaries covers name, avatar, profile URL and visibility, with no visitor or view field.
So a "see who viewed your Steam profile" site is guessing, or it wants your login. If one shows a Steam sign-in screen, close the tab: no stats site needs your password, and Steam's account security recommendations cover how to keep it safe.
Signs someone looked at your profile
A visit only leaves a trace if the visitor does something:
- A comment on your profile. You choose who can post under Can post comments on my profile in your privacy settings.
- A friend request. It appears in your Steam notifications.
- A profile award. People can spend Steam Points to give your profile an award that everyone can see.
What visitors can see on your profile
Steam has three privacy states: Public, Friends Only and Private. Set them from your profile under Edit Profile > Privacy Settings; changes save automatically.
| Setting | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Basic details | Name and avatar, always visible. Your background and mini profile can show even on a private profile. |
| My profile | Summary, friends list, badges, Steam Level, showcases, comments, groups |
| Game details | Games owned, wishlist, achievements, playtime, and your "in game" status |
| Friends List | Who your friends are |
| Inventory | Items, trading cards and gifts |
To see what strangers see, open your profile in a logged-out browser window. The public profile guide walks through every setting, including making the profile private.
To hide one game instead of your whole library, Mark as Private removes it from your profile's games list, your recently played section and your friends' activity feeds. Steps are in how to hide games on Steam.
Checking someone else's profile
Our Steam Profile Viewer reads only public data from the Steam Web API, so the owner gets no alert. It shows Steam level, games owned, total hours and estimated library value. Those hours come from Steam's own counter; here's how Steam tracks offline hours. For gamertags, our Xbox profile lookup works the same way and sends the player nothing. If the profile is locked down, see how to see a private Steam profile for what's still visible.
FAQ
Can people see when you view their Steam profile? No. Steam sends no notification and keeps no visitor log, so viewing a profile leaves no trace unless you comment, add them or give an award.
Does anything on Steam show view counts? Workshop items do: each Workshop item page shows a Unique Visitors count, but never who the visitors were. Profiles have no counter.
Is there an app that shows who viewed my Steam profile? No legitimate one, because Steam never records the data. Treat any app or site that asks for your Steam login to show viewers as a phishing attempt.
Does a private profile stop people from viewing it? Mostly. Anyone can still open it and see your name and avatar, and possibly your background and mini profile, but everything else is hidden.
