Why Check Your Purchase History on Steam?\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of reasons why you might want to check your Steam purchase history. If you\u2019re considering purchasing a game or DLC, you might want to make sure you don\u2019t already own it. Or perhaps you want to check if the game you own is a special edition. You might also have forgotten how much you paid for an item or game and need to check.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reviewing your purchase history on Steam is also useful in the event something goes wrong. For example, if there\u2019s a Steam transaction on your bank statement that you don\u2019t recognize or if you have been overcharged for a game, you can check your purchase history. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may need your purchase history as proof of purchase if a game or DLC goes missing from your Steam library<\/a>, if a game key you purchased doesn\u2019t work, or if a Steam game won\u2019t launch. Finally, if you need a refund on a game or in-game item, you\u2019ll need the details from your Steam purchase history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below, we\u2019ll show you three ways to check your Steam purchase history.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
