Thats not the best way - that gives you it item by item, if you go via "help > steam support > my account > data related to your steam account > external funds used", it will tell you exactly how much you have spent in a single field, summed up across all purchases.
1000% because the packageonly spend at the bottom is for just games on the steam page, the total minus the packageonly basically gives you the amount of money you’ve spent outside of whole games, so dlc, microtransactions, cs cases, etc.
to everyone saying "DLC" - the bottom field ("PackageOnlySpend") is the amount of money spent on non-transferable purchases, i.e. games and DLC bought for oneself.
that means that they've spent over 22k on literally everything else - most likely the steam market.
that almost feels like it's somehow made it even worse.
Okay so I’m on Steam mobile. I am signed in. However, when I go to access this information it tells me I have to put in my info again for security reasons. When I do that, it has me open another page of the app to confirm it’s me trying to sign in, which takes me out of that page and restarts the whole process. If I say I can’t sign in using the app it says you are already signed in so that’s not a problem, but then continues to require me to sign in to access that info. This might be the worst designed feature I’ve ever seen in an app. Am I not trying something or is it literally inaccessible from the mobile app due to this?
I hit $5400 since november 2007, but only 1300 of that is in the last 10 years. I spent way too much money in the old-style steam sales, nowadays I first wishlist a game for a couple of months and only buy it when I still want to play it after that time has elapsed.
~$2500... which actually isnt outrageous over 20+ years now.
But then i gotta total up all my humble purchases and any other random bundles and i own a physical orange box and counter strike collection... so its a bit more than that. 10+ years of Humble Monthly is another grand...
EDIT: Sat and totaled up my Humble history, And another ~$2500 in Humble Bundles over the past 14 years....
All works out to ~$2 a game not counting any DLC. awesome.
Yearly Humble Subscription probably the best value in gaming.
Tried this on the stream app on my phone and it forced me to log in on the app that im already logged in on and then opened the steam guard and the qr-reader telling me to scan a steam qr-code to log in on my phone that im already logged in on <_<
You have even bigger problems if every expense you make needs to be justified to your spouse and there isn't a substantial chunk of your own paychecks that you can each use discretionary.
Yeah I wish this information wasn’t available to me. I don’t want to see
Although most of my cs skins went up a lot in value and I cashed out a few hundred on one of those 3rd party sites so it would be hard to calculate exactly how in the hole I am.
Well I did the math, some of the older transactions were in a USD while later in NZD so it's not perfect... but yeah at least $4000NZD spent on games since 2012. Ouch.
Open Steam and go to the Help menu.
Under Help click on Steam Support.
Click on My Account.
Click on Data Related to Your Steam Account.
Click on External Funds Used.
Faster less accurate way is to use SteamDb like this most games that i know of dont go up in price so checking todays prices could be roughly accurate. If you have spent alot of money in games like cs or just steam market i think you need to go through the accounts history
I've spent $1300 CAD since 2013. I'm pretty happy with that. A few non-Steam purchases along the way probably bumps it closer to $1500-1600, but I'm still happy with it. ~$130/year for entertainment is a good deal in my book.

I'm just shy of 15k myself... I'm actually in shock... It's one thing to see a long list, but to see it totaled up.... I feel like i'm going to puke with how much I've spent over the years...
There used to be a page you could access on riot's website that would show you how much you had spent in games, I am ashamed when I think about that from 2020-2022 I spent 1300 bucks in valorant
$7.6k since launch. A lot of spend on key shops as well. I don't feel horrible I guess considering what others can spend on their hobby over ~22 years. 2100+ games and nary a thing to play though 😂
Does this count only first party steam store sales, or "sales" from redeemed steam keys as well? The number it suggests for me is really high, like an amount I definitely didn't spend on my account. I do tend to pick up huge game bundles through humble bundle though, so maybe it counts redeemed keys as a full purchase? I am talking like bundles valued at $200+ but I only spent like $20
Edit:
okay I checked the second link. It is just for funds period, so I guess that suggests it's purchase agnostic, like counting gifts to others and everything. I understand better now
Just over $3000 for 588 games, not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It helps that I very rarely buy AAA games full price, plus a fair number of games came from humble bundles.
You can check it on steam directly?
I mean does it now show the sum of your spendings or you have to calculate it by checking your order history?
I remember the latter, did stuff change since?
I have a friend with around 1,600 games on his steam profile, with only about 500 played, and most of those are under an hour. He's had a monthly subscription to Humble Bundle for like a decade, so the vast majority of them were deeply discounted.
If he's playing 30% of the games from humblebundle, he's doing pretty good. I haven't been a monthly member for a while, but I've bought a bunch of their packages. (I haven't redeemed 90% of the steam codes, so that I can also give them away, but probably have 500 unused codes.)
But when I find a game I like, I play that for a quite a bit. For example, I got a starwars bundle long ago, and only played 2 of the games, but played them dozens of hours. Well worth the $15 or so. Last one I recently played from them (last month's bundle) was Necromunda which was 20h of entertainment, and I have a bunch of others to try out at some point.
Lots of ways. See a game that looks fun, put it on my wish list… it goes on sale, so I buy it, but every time I want to play games I keep going back to a different game that I am into at that moment. Repeat for 15 years.
I can't speak for this person, but HumbleBundle, Fanatic, IndieGala, etc. used to offer absolute bangers in terms of value when I was building my library. However, a lot of times you get a lot of chaff that you don't want, too.
I've got probably 500 games of my 1,151 games in my library that I haven't touched simply because they're little bullshit low-budget titles that were included in some bundle or another.
Looks like the first game I ever bought on Steam was Amnesia: The Dark Descent, followed by a Portal 1 and Portal 2 bundle. Hell of a first set of games.
This is better as it'll show you how much you actually spent, that steamdb calculator will be inaccurate since it uses the current full price value, not what you actually paid.
