Steam Wallet Gift Card Redeem: How to Redeem Steam Keys

Steam is a digital distribution platform developed by Valve Corporation in 2003 for the express purpose of distributing game software, hosting multiplayer functionality, and social networking.  It is similar to other digital content services such as iTunes or Google Play and is currently the world’s largest digital retailer for personal computer based video games.  To utilize Steam, you must have a Steam account and the Steam game client, both of which are free.

Steam Wallet Gift Card Redeem

To redeem your product keys to Steam, you can either redeem via the Steam Redemption page or follow these steps to redeem to your Steam client directly:

1. Navigate to your download page, and click the Reveal your Steam key button. This will generate your Steam product key for registering to your account.
   
    TIP: If you have not received your download page yet, try using our Order Resender tool.Example: A download page containing Steam keys for Might and Magic games.              
2. Select the whole key, and copy it to your clipboard.
   
   Example: A Steam product key for Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes Note: if you see an error message about keys being exhausted after revealing your key, it means that we are temporarily out of keys. Never fear though! When keys are exhausted, we will reach out to the game’s developer/publisher to obtain more keys. Check back on your download page later and we’ll have a key available for you!
3. Once you have installed the Steam client, launch the client and enter your login credentials. When you are logged into your account, click the button in the bottom left corner that says “+ ADD A GAME…” to register the product key to your account.
4. In the pop-up window, select the “Activate a Product on Steam” option. This will open up a new window.
   
   Example: Where you can register product keys to your Steam account.
5. Follow the prompts, and paste or enter the numerical key you copied from your download page into the “Product Code” field.Hit “NEXT>” If your key is valid, Steam will accept it and you will be taken to your library where you will be able to download and play your newly registered game!

    Note: If the key extends beyond the reach of the key field on your download page, simply double-click inside the field to select the whole key. This way, regardless of how much of the key looks to be cut off, you will copy the whole thing!
   
   Example: A product key being registered into a user’s Steam account.

    

6. From your LIBRARY tab you can see all games registered to your Steam account. You can then select a game and it will bring up a splash page with a large INSTALL button you can click on to install your games.  Once your games are installed, the Install button will change to a PLAY button!
   
   Example: Installing Universe Sandbox 2

 TIP: If you are not seeing the product you redeemed through Steam, try the search bar at the top and ensuring that you have filtered your view with the correct platform:

And that’s how register your product keys to Steam! Hopefully this information will help so you can get right to playing your game!
