The #1 Club for Steam badges collectors.

On Steam, badges are virtual collectibles that you can earn by participating in various activities and events on the platform. Here's some information about badges on Steam:

How to earn badges: You can earn badges by completing specific tasks, such as playing games, participating in events, crafting trading cards, or engaging in community activities. Each game or event may have its own set of requirements to earn a badge.

Trading cards: Many games on Steam feature trading cards, which can be collected by playing the game. Once you collect a complete set of cards for a specific game, you can craft them into a badge. Crafting a badge will grant you experience points (XP) for your Steam profile, increase your Steam level, and unlock various rewards such as emoticons, profile backgrounds, and coupons.

Steam level: Your Steam level increases as you earn badges and accumulate experience points. Higher Steam levels unlock additional features and benefits, such as increased friend list capacity, profile showcases, and the ability to customize your profile with artwork and showcases.

Badge showcase: You can showcase your favorite badges on your Steam profile. There are several showcase slots available, allowing you to display your most impressive badges for others to see.

Community events: Steam occasionally runs community events, such as holiday sales or special events tied to specific games. Participating in these events can earn you limited-time badges or event-specific items.

Market and trading: Some badges and their associated items can be bought and sold on the Steam Community Market. If you have duplicate cards or items, you can trade them with other users to complete your sets or acquire specific badges.

It's important to note that badges on Steam are primarily cosmetic and do not affect gameplay. They are a way to showcase your achievements and engage with the Steam community.
