If you are new to steam, and you want to create a new account it’s very easy and quick to do so.

Steam is one of the biggest gaming digital platforms for online and offline gaming created by Valve Corporation.

It’s available for multiple PC OS such as Windows, Mac, and other platforms.

In addition to that, it’s available for mobile devices, so you can use it to get the steam login code from the Steam Guard Mobile Authenticator.

However, if you want to play any game on your PC you have to first create a Steam account.

So today, I will teach you how to create a steam account and five steps. 

How To Create a Steam Account

To create a Steam account, go to the “Steam Join” page on your PC browser, then add your email address, and confirm that you are at least 13 years old, then click on continue.

After that, you have to verify your account to the email address in your inbox.

Then create your username and password to sign in to your new Steam account.

However, you can apply this method on both your mobile phone and PC.

So it’s up to you to choose between these two options, but in our case, we are using a PC. 

1.Visit the Steam Join Page

Firstly, visit the Steam sign-in page using your PC browser.

When the page opens click on the “Join Steam” button.

Then you will be redirected to a new page which is the account creation page.

So here you can start the creation process.

However, if you still don’t have the Steam app on your PC you can install it to download games later.

2.Add your Email and Country of Residence

When you open the Steam creation page, start by adding the email that you want to create your account with in the first empty box.

Then confirm it on the second empty box.

Now on the third box, you will see your country name, which you can keep as it is.

However, you can change your country name by clicking on the down arrow.

Then a drop-down menu will show up, so you can select your country of residence from the menu by clicking on the country name.

Now click on the reCAPTCHA checkbox to confirm that you’re not a robot.

Also, click on the last checkbox to confirm that you are at least 13 years old.

Therefore, click on the “Continue” button.

3.Verify your Email address

After clicking on the continue button, you will get a new pop-up asking you to verify the email address that you’ve added.

Note that you have to keep this page until you verify your email address so don’t close it. 

Now go to your inbox and open the last email from Steam.

Then click on the blue “Verify My Email Address” button.

After clicking on the button, a new tab will open in your browser with a confirmation of your email verification.

Then go back to the tab where you saw the pop-up that is awaiting your confirmation.

4.Add your Steam Account Name and Password

Now that you’ve verified your email address and went back to the page where you saw the popup.

You will see on this page three empty boxes that you have to fill.

Such as your new Steam account name and password.

So start by adding your new Steam account name to create it with this name.

After adding your name it will see a notification at the right of the box telling you if the name is available on Steam or someone else used it.

When you get the green “Available” notification, you can continue to add your password.

Now on the password field add your new password.

But note that your password must contain at least 8 characters.

Then click on the blue “Done” button.

5.Sign in to your Steam account

After clicking on the “Done” button you can now sign in to your Steam account.

So visit the Steam login page again.

Now enter your new email address and the password that you’ve already added to create your Steam account.

Finally, your Steam account will open, and you can start using it without any issue.

Is a Steam Account Free

Yes, creating a steam account is free and there are no additional costs, yet most famous Steam Games are paid.

So famous Steam games are mostly paid because it takes a lot of time and effort with developers to create such high graphics games.

However, there are a lot of free games to download and play.

In addition to that, some games have additional paid packs like Weapon Skins and Maps in CS Go.

How To Find Your Steam URL

To find your steam URL on your PC browser, open your account then click on your username and click on “Account Details”.

When the new page opens you will find your Steam ID below your username, you can also copy your Steam URL from your browser website bar.

However, if you are using the Steam app click on the Steam menu at the top left of the app.

Then click on “Settings > Interface” and check the “Display web address bards when available.

Now click on “OK”, and you will see your Steam URL in green color, so you can copy it.

Do You Have to Download Steam To Play Games

Yes, you need to download Steam to play games, as when you activate the game redeem code,  you can only download it using the Steam app on your PC.

So when you create your account on Steam you can install the app and start downloading the games that you want to play.

However, it’s possible to play games online on Steam as they will be located on your PC.

Can’t Create Steam Account (Fix)

If you can’t create your Steam account properly this may be caused by the steam server, hence try to switch between your PC browser and the Steam application, or vice versa.

Now if this solution doesn’t work for you try to use the Steam mobile app on your Android or iPhone.

You can also try to check the steam server issues on the DownDetector website then wait for a few hours to try again. 

Fix There Have Been Too Many Login Failures on Steam

If you have received on Steam “there have been too many login failures”, it’s good to wait from 30 minutes to 1 hour to try again.

Also, try to restart your router because it usually happens as your home connection is charged.

However, if none of these two solutions works with you can use a VPN app such as Psiphon or other apps then try again.

Conclusion

But most of the paid games have high graphics which can be fun.
