How to Delete a Steam Account

Steam is one of the biggest video game distributor in the business. However, if you want to leave Steam, we’ve got your back. This article will guide you to delete your Steam account. 

Before Deleting your Steam Account

If you want to take a break from gaming, deleting your Steam account might not do justice to the money you spend to purchase games. You can just stop playing games without doing anything because if you close your account you’ll lose access to those games and you have to re-purchase them if you want to play them again. 

Important: Deleting a Steam account is permanent.
