Are you having trouble adding friends on Steam because you haven’t spent at least $5 on your account yet? Don’t worry, there’s a quick and easy solution to this problem. In this guide, we’ll show you how to add someone for free on Steam, even if you’re using a brand new account.
First off, let’s establish that you cannot add anyone on Steam if you haven’t spent at least $5 on your account. However, there is one simple way to bypass this requirement. All you need is someone who has already spent the minimum amount on their account, and they can help you add friends for free.
Here’s how it works:
1. Have your friend share their friend code with you. To find it, they need to go to the “New Invites” section in the little mail icon on the top right of the Steam client. From there, they can click “Add a Friend” on the left-hand side, and copy the friend code that appears.
2. Share the friend code with your friend via Discord, text messaging, email, or any other messaging platform.
3. On your friend’s Steam client, they need to click “Friends & Chat” on the bottom right-hand side, then click the “Add a Friend” button (the person icon with a plus sign). Here, they can enter your friend code and click “Send Invite”.
4. Once you receive the invite, go to your mailbox on Steam and click “Accept”. That’s it! You can now log in to Steam and see your friend on your online friends list.
No need to spend $5 on a new account just to add friends on Steam. With a little help from a friend, you can add anyone you want for free. We hope you found this guide helpful. If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to leave them below. Have a great day and happy gaming!
