What Is Steam Private Game
Steam Private Game is a new feature that lets users hide specific games and related details. Players now have complete control over what others see in their Steam Library. With this feature active, every game-related detail will become invisible when a game is added to the user’s cart. Game ownership, in-game status, playtime, activity, achievements, showcases, can only be seen by the account holder. The hidden title won’t be shown in your game list and even in your recently played games section. Also, if the game is flagged as Private, you won’t receive Steam Trading Cards, either. Consequently, gamers can keep their Steam Library public while maintaining the option to keep a select few titles entirely private at the same time.
