  • Steam Wallet Beta Available

    We're a little late to the game, but Valve has launched a beta for their new "Steam Wallet" feature coming soon.

    The Steam Wallet, Steamworks' newest feature, is now available for public testing. With Steam Wallet, you can add value to your Steam account using any of the payment methods supported by Steam. Funds in your Steam Wallet may then be used to buy any item available on the Steam store, or combined with other payment methods to make a purchase.

    To help us test this new feature, now in beta, click here and follow the instructions available there. Remember, even in beta, purchases are real. You should only fund with money you actually plan to use on Steam. And as always, please report any feedback here on the forums. Thanks!

    If you would like to test in your browser, please visit:

    Yep, it acts a bit like a bank, but one that can be used to purchase games from Steam. Now you can add money to your "Wallet" in order to purchase all of that Railworks DLC you wanted to get!

    I'm not understanding the point of this feature.

    It's currently, Pay money, play game. Two steps.

    Now they want to make it, pay money, take money from wallet, play game? Why the unnecessary third step?

          Perhaps it is to prepare for compatibility with Playstation Network's wallet? I mean Portal 2 has some variation of Steam, and despite the fact that they're two entirely seperate stores and the software sold is for two entirely seperate systems... Yeah I'm not believing in what I'm saying either. I have no clue.
