Are You Ready to Face the Truth?

Gaming can add up to be quite the costly hobby, but just how much have you actually spent on Steam? If you're brave enough to find out, Valve has a surprising answer waiting for you.

Discover the Hidden Treasure!

Deep within the help section of the Steam platform lies a little-known page titled 'External Funds Used'—a detailed account of all your expenditures. This page isn't new, but its obscurity makes it a treasure trove for those willing to dig.

How to Find It?

Curious gamers on Reddit have recently shared the path to this elusive page (shoutout to PC Gamer for the tip!). If you’re intrigued enough, here’s how to navigate to it: help > steam support > my account > data related to your steam account > external funds used.

What Will You Discover?

On this page, your funds are broken down into categories, with 'TotalSpend' being the grand total of your gaming investments. There’s also 'OldSpend' for anything spent before April 2015, 'PWSpend' for those linked to Perfect World accounts in CS:GO or Dota 2, and 'ChinaSpend' for funds from China.

While Steam regularly hosts massive sales that entice gamers to splurge, the total amount you see might just shock you!

Upcoming Sales Alert!

For those looking to save while spending, mark your calendar! Valve has announced the Steam sales for 2025, starting with the Sokoban Fest from April 21st to 28th, followed closely by Wargames Fest from April 28th to May 5th. And don’t miss the biggest event of the year: the Steam Summer Sale, happening from June 26th to July 10th.

More Exciting Updates!

In other Steam-related news, the latest Hardware and Software Survey reveals that Chinese-speaking gamers now make up half of the platform's user base. Additionally, Steam has introduced a new feature to alert users about potentially abandoned early access games.

Take the Plunge!
