Buying every game on Steam sounds impossible for a reason. We looked at the current numbers, and the total cost of the platform’s full catalog is staggering – and your own account might be worth more than you think.
Steam has been the default storefront for PC gaming for so long that it is easy to forget just how enormous the platform has become. What used to sound like a fun hypothetical now feels closer to a millionaire’s problem: what would it actually cost to buy every game on Steam?
That question still has an answer, thanks to a long-running tracker that scans the platform and adds up the total. The result is exactly as ridiculous as you would expect, and yes, the number has climbed deep into seven-figure territory.
How Much It Costs To Buy Every Game On Steam: How To Check
The easiest way to check the total is still steam.seewang.me, a site that tracks the combined cost of the Steam catalog using US-region pricing. The old idea that Steam had “more than 65,000 games” is badly outdated now, which makes this whole calculation even wilder than it used to be.
At the time of writing, the tracker shows that buying everything on Steam would cost $1,337,311.32 if you count active discounts. Without those discounts, the full total rises to $1,385,598.50. Even for a platform this massive, that is the kind of number that makes your eyes stop for a second.
There is one important detail, though: the public page currently says it was last updated four months ago. Even with that caveat, the visible totals still make one thing clear: Steam’s catalog has expanded so much that the old figures from previous years now look tiny by comparison.
The drops you see in the trend graph usually happen during major sale periods. When seasonal promotions hit, the combined cost of the full catalog can fall hard for a short window, then jump back up once those discounts disappear.
What makes the whole thing even more surprising is that the total keeps trending upward anyway. Steam adds new releases at such a relentless pace that even huge sales only put a temporary dent in the overall value of the storefront.
How Much Is Your Steam Account Worth? How To Find Out
The total value of the entire Steam catalog is one thing, but most players are probably more curious about their own library. If you want to see what your account is worth today, SteamDB’s calculator is still the easiest tool for the job.
To check it, do the following:
- Go to steamdb.info/calculator
- Paste your Steam profile URL, vanity URL, Steam ID, or friend code
- Click on "Get disappointed in your life"
- Wait for SteamDB to calculate your library value and account details
Make sure your Steam profile and game details are set to "public", otherwise SteamDB will not be able to pull the information. If you changed those settings recently, it can also take a little while for the data to refresh.
The Steam Calculator is fun, but it is worth remembering what it actually shows. It estimates your library’s value using current store prices, not the exact amount you personally spent, so sales, bundles, gifts, and third-party keys can make the real number very different.
So yes, your Steam account might look terrifying on paper, but the backlog guilt is still free.
