How Do I Redeem a Steam Gift Card or Wallet Code?

Modified on Thu, 23 Apr at 2:41 PM

Steam gift cards and wallet codes must be redeemed directly on Steam, not on GameStop.

✅ Make sure you’re signed in to the correct Steam account before redeeming.
Once redeemed, Steam wallet funds cannot be transferred to another account.
