Steam is one of the most popular online gaming services. With its help, you can run almost any game, buying and downloading only their licensed copies. To play through Steam, you will need to install the program client and create a service ID.
Instructions
Step 1
Go to the official Steam website and download the service client program for installation on your computer. To do this, left-click on the "Install Steam" button. Run the resulting file and follow the instructions of the installer to complete the installation.
Step 2
Launch the program via a shortcut on the desktop or the Start menu. You will now need to create an account to download and purchase games on Steam. Wait until the end of the program update procedure, and then click on the "Create a new account" button in the selection menu that appears.
Step 3
In the "Login" window that appears, enter the username and password you specified, and then click "Login". The main screen of the service will appear in front of you. To purchase or download a new game, use the Store link. In the search, enter the query you need and use the instructions of the program to complete the installation procedure or purchase this or that application. Click the "Add to cart" button and then "Buy for yourself". Choose the most convenient payment method from the offered options and follow the instructions.
Step 4
After purchasing the game, you will be able to download it. You can also purchase a game key from any online store and enter it through the "Games" - "Activate via Steam" section. After entering the key, the application will also become available for download. After the download is complete, you can go to the "Library" section and select your game, and then click the "Run" button. You can now play through Steam.
