We’re not going to lie, you know very well why you would want to be able to hide your gaming history on Steam. But while it was currently only possible to go from everything to nothing, the platform plans to soon allow you to hide your activity on certain games only.
Steam offers plenty of reasons to hide your gaming history
As on many other platforms or even on most consoles, it is possible for all your friends to know what you are playing on Steam. When you start a game, if you haven’t changed anything in your settings, your status automatically changes to indicate to all your contacts that you are playing a particular game. A feature that might seem invasive at first glance but which above all allows you to see in the blink of an eye if friends are playing the same titles as you, and potentially to join their games.
In addition to this feature, it is also possible to dig into your friends’ profiles to find out how much time they have spent on any game they own. Obviously, it is already possible to hide all this information through the Steam settings, but it is not currently possible to select which games you want to hide from the rest of your contacts. Indeed, If you want to maintain your discretion, for the moment you can only choose to completely deactivate this type of public functionality. A very practical solution for anyone who would like to hide their 300 hours on any of the erotic games available on the platform, or for players who would like to avoid being caught playing while teleworking.
The joys of discretion are yours
If you’re the type who wants to take advantage of all of Steam’s social features but you don’t necessarily want everyone to be able to see your many hours spent on the platform’s most shameful games (we’ll let you judge which ones would fit into this category), Steam has thought of you! Indeed, according to Pavel Djundik (at the origin of the SteamDB tool), the platform is currently testing a new functionality.
Steam is working on a feature that would allow you to mark a game as “private” and hide it from your friends.
Thanks to this new functionality, you will finally be able to hide your gaming history by precisely selecting those you do not want to reveal. If you want to be able to take advantage of it as quickly as possible, you will unfortunately have to be a little patient since this new feature has currently only been made available to a very small number of users. Steam has not yet officially communicated a precise release date for this feature.the naughtiest will therefore have to continue to be discreet by another means.
