Steam is one of the largest digital distribution platforms in terms of the PC gaming sector. If you are a PC gamer, there is a high probability you have Steam downloaded on your computer. Aside from housing a large number of digital games, Steam allows you to purchase games directly through the application, or enter codes that you purchased through a third-party company.

You can also enter your personal card information in your Steam Wallet, or add funds directly to it. Essentially, Steam Wallet is a digital bank of sorts, allowing users to add funds to their Steam Account, which in turn, can be used to purchase games available on Steam. Steam Wallet Codes can also be used to pre-purchase a select number of funds to add to your account.
