How Do You Trade Steam Games On Steam Platform

Steam is known as one of the largest gaming platforms in Nigeria. As a user of the platform, you have access to millions of video games, gaming items like consoles, in-game items, and a community of gamers.

When you trade games on Steam, you don’t need to pay for them with your Steam gift card. You only have to find someone on the platform that you can send a request. Once the request is accepted, you will have access to the game.

These tradable games are termed Steam gifts by Steam. Steam games given to you by friends can be traded. You can install the games and use or trade them with fellow gamers for other games or in-game items.

If you have the game shared with you as a gift already installed on your PC, it will be saved in your inventory as an item. You can either trade or market them. To successfully trade Steam games with your friends or other Steam users, both of you need to agree to the trade conditions.

It is imperative you confirm that the trade is according to the agreement before you proceed to accept. If not, you can always cancel.
