Steam Profile, or just Profile, is a user-created profile associated with a Steam Account. Profiles were introduced mid-2007 along with Steam Communities and serves as Steam's primary user profiling system.

Usage[]

When registering for an account, users are prompted to create a profile to help other users distinguish you from others. Customization features include profile backgrounds, avatars, profile description and the ability to feature a Steam Badge. Users may edit their profile at any time by clicking the Edit Profile button on the top right of their profile.

Profile Levels[]

Profile Levels are shown on the top-right hand of the user's profile, and provide benefits such as Showcasing unlocks, increasing the amount of friends a user can have at one time and increase the chance of a booster pack drop.

Profilelevel

A user's Profile Level.

Users may increase their level by crafting badges, collecting games, complete community tasks, obtaining event badges and automatically by owning a Steam account. Users that are Account Limited may not increase their level.

When a user gets started with leveling up, it takes 100 XP to get to the next level. The amount needed to level up increases every 10 levels, meaning after Steam Level 10 you'll need 200 XP per level, after level 20 you'll need 300 XP per level, etc.

Showcases[]

Users may activate "Showcases" on the edit menu of their profile. All users start with one showcase by default, and earn a showcase every 10 levels starting at level 20, with a maximum of 13 showcases at one time. You may purchase and level up showcases in the Steam Point Shop. Purchasing will allow you to put an extra showcase of that type, to a max of 2. Leveling up a showcase will allow upgrade that specific showcase, normally adding an extra row to show off stuff.

There are 15 different showcases in all; Rarest Achievement Showcase, Game Collector, Item Showcase, Items Up For Trade, Badge Collector, Favorite Game, Screenshot Showcase, Custom Info Box, Favorite Group, Review Showcase, Workshop Showcase, Your Workshop Showcase, Favorite Guide, Achievement Showcase and Salien Stats.
