You can add friends through Steam using one of these 3 methods. Please note that if you have a new Steam account and have not made any purchases on Steam, Method 2 will be the only option to add friends. These restrictions are removed if you have spent at least $5 on Steam.
Method 1: Using a Friend Code
- Go to your Friends and Chat window, then click "Add a friend".
- Share your unique friend code with your friend.
- Your friend will enter your code to find your profile.
- Once your profile appears, they can click "Add as friend," and you will both appear on each other's friend list after you accept the request.
Method 2: Sending a Quick Invite Link
- In the "Add a friend" section, generate a quick invite link.
- Send this link to your friend.
- When they click the link, they can accept your friend request.
- Quick Invite links are one time use links so please make sure that if you get a new quick invite link for each friend you want to add.
Method 3: Searching for Their Profile Name
- In the "Add a friend" section, type your friend's profile name into the search bar.
- Click on their correct profile from the search results.
- Click the "Add Friend" button on their profile to send the request.
Important Considerations
Account Requirements:
- Your account must have spent a minimum of $5 USD in the Steam store to remove restrictions and send friend requests.
Accepting Invites:
When someone sends you a friend request, it will appear in your notifications or pending invites section, and you will need to accept it to become friends.
