Over the past few years, more people have started taking their privacy more seriously. Unfortunately, a lot of your private details are readily available online. This can be a big problem. You want to keep this information private. Some of these details might not seem like a big deal but they’re more important than you might imagine. One thing to note is that some people want to hide the games they’re playing on Steam. Wouldn’t you like to do the same? After all, you might play some games that people think are lame.

While you shouldn’t care what they think, you’ll want to hide your games list anyway. Within this guide, you’re going to learn how to hide the games you’re playing on Steam.

Why?

When it comes down to it, you have a reputation to uphold. You want to make sure that you keep your games private. Otherwise, people are going to judge you based on the games that you’re playing. If you’re a young man who is playing girl games, you might be judged harshly. This is a problem that you’ll want to avoid. If you’re playing poker throughout the day, you may want to keep it hidden from others. The good news is that hiding your games catalog won’t be too difficult.

Within this guide, you’ll find out how to hide the games that you’re playing.

Your Profile

Now, you should know that your Steam profile contains various information about your Steam activities. Your profile will contain a list of the games you have been playing. It can also tell you how many hours you have spent playing each game. The system puts more emphasis on your activity within the last two weeks. Things have changed during recent years. In the past, your profile would have been marked public by default.

Now, Valve keeps the profile private by default. However, there is a chance that you’ve marked your profile public at some point. Some third-party services require you to make your profile public to read and use the information. If you have, you’ll want to change this up.

Changing It

Finally, it is time to find out how to change your profile from public to private. This will be easier than you might imagine. First, you should access your Steam account. Once you’ve logged in, you need to put the mouse cursor over your username. Then, you should click Profile. After that, you’ll want to click Edit Profile and My Privacy Settings. On this page, you’ll be able to change your privacy settings.

Besides Game Details, you will see several options. Click on the down arrow and you can choose Public, Friends Only, or Private. The Friendly Only option means that only your friends will be able to see the games you’re playing. Private means that nobody will be able to see it.

Be sure to choose the setting that you prefer most. Once you’ve done that, you will want to save the settings. Now, people will not be able to see the games you’re playing on your Steam profile.
