How to Check Your Steam Purchase History (2026 Step-by-Step Guide)

Need to check what you've bought on Steam, verify a transaction, find proof of purchase, or just see what you've spent? Steam keeps a full record of every purchase going back to the very first transaction on your account. Here's every way to access it.

Method 1: Steam Client or Web Browser (Fastest)

Method 2: Mobile App

You can also check your purchase history from the Steam mobile app on iOS or Android:

1. Open the Steam app and sign in
2. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner
3. Tap Account Details
4. Tap View Purchase History

Note: For browsing a long purchase history, the desktop or web version is faster — scrolling through many years of purchases on mobile can be slow.

How to Check Keys Activated from Third-Party Sellers

If you activated a game using a key bought from a third-party seller (like GhostKeys, Eneba, or Gamivo), that activation may not appear in your purchase history — it only shows purchases made directly through Steam. To see all activated keys including third-party ones, go to your licenses page: store.steampowered.com/account/licenses/ This page shows every product ever activated on your account — including keys from external sellers — along with the date they were activated. Use the search function (Ctrl+F in your browser) to find a specific game.

How to See How Much You've Spent on Steam

Want to know your total Steam spending? Go to the Steam Help page:

1. Go to help.steampowered.com
2. Click My Account
3. Select Data Related to Your Steam Account
4. Click External Funds Used

This shows your total spending using external payment methods (card, PayPal). Note: this doesn't include purchases made using Steam Wallet funds — only real money spent adding to the wallet or buying directly.

How to Request a Refund from Your Purchase History

You can request a refund directly from your purchase history. Find the transaction you want to refund, click on it, and look for the "Request a Refund" option. Steam's refund policy allows refunds on games played under 2 hours within 14 days of purchase. Need help? Message us at the Live Chat 24/7 Online and we'll help you straight away.
