Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to play games on regular smartphones through Steam without crutches, but nevertheless, the official store application from Valve is still relevant: you can take part in a sale while on vacation and far from your computer or register an account while you are going to a club to play with friends together.
The whole procedure does not take much time and effort, but we will definitely go over all the nuances with you so that you definitely do not make any mistakes and in the future always know how to register in Steam on your phone.
Download the application
You can download the official Steam application either from the official store website or via Google Play or App Store . Choose any method and wait for the download and installation to complete. But be careful – popular sites with phone applications often have copies of popular applications that steal user data. Always check the application developer before installing.
After that, you need to launch the application and give the necessary access if it asks. And also create an email in advance if you don’t have one or have already registered your own accounts for a long time. After all, in Steam you can’t link more than one profile to one email. Such are the limitations.
Let’s start registration
After the preparation for registration has been completed, we proceed to the action itself:
- On the initial screen of the program, select the item “Create an account”
- After this, we will be redirected to a browser with a form where we will need to enter the email address to which the account will be linked and the country of residence twice.
- Well, and finally, pass the captcha, how could we do without it.
- Next, you will receive a letter from Valve to the specified address, where you will need to click on the button. This way, the store makes sure that the email is really yours.
- After we have confirmed everything, all that remains is to fill in the desired login and, again twice, the password.
At this point, your account’s basic settings are complete and it’s created. However, to add friends and use many other Steam features, you’ll have to sweat a bit more. At a minimum, you’ll need to connect Steam Guard and link your phone number. However, that’s a whole other story.
It is possible without using the app
If you don’t have the opportunity (or desire?) to install the application, then we have a way for you. And it’s not the most difficult. To begin with, just go to the full version of the Steam website through any browser available on your smartphone and proceed to registration using the “Login” and “Create an account” buttons. Then the process will not differ at all, so do as you like.
Of course, the application has many useful functions that may be useful to you in the future, but if there is no memory on the phone or, for example, you know for sure that you will not use it, then you do not need to install it to register a Steam account.
If you were unable to register on Steam from your phone using our instructions, you should contact the service’s support, which is easy to find on the official website . To contact us, you will only need your work email, to which you will receive responses.
