Steam levelling up worth it?
Is it really necessary to level up on steam or is it just a additional feature and doesn't matter

Unless you like decorating your profile, it's basically useless.

What does having Steam Levels give you?

  • The maximum amount of friends is initially capped at 250 for accounts. For every Level gained, you will be able to have 5 more friend slots. This can expand to a maximum of 2000 total possible friends.
  • For every 10 Levels gained, you will receive 1 Showcase slot. These can be used to display a unique Showcase on the Profile (achievements, videos, screenshots, etc.). This can expand to a maximum of 20 at this time but more may be added in the future. Note: if you have bought an extra Showcase on the Points Shop, that adds an extra Showcase slot on top of the maximum.

From: Steam Levels and XP (FAQ)

A higher Steam level also increases your chance of receiving a booster pack drop.


How to level up your Steam account:
  • Complete your community badge.
  • Buy trading cards from the community market to craft badges.
  • Get the "Seasonal Badge" from the points shop.

For me, one hundred percent, yeahhh

*But if you only use Steam for gaming, it's not really necessary.
