You can showcase items on Steam by activating and customizing "Showcases" through the edit menu on your Steam profile.
Showcases are dedicated sections on your Steam profile that allow you to highlight various aspects of your account, such as favorite games, rarest achievements, artwork, item collections, and more. This is a great way to personalize your profile and share your gaming interests with others.
Accessing and Managing Showcases
The primary way to set up and manage your showcases is through your profile editing options:
- Navigate to your Steam profile page.
- Click on the "Edit Profile" button (usually found on the right side of your profile).
- On the edit profile menu, you will find an option labeled "Showcases".
In this section, you can:
- Select which showcase type you want to add (e.g., Favorite Game, Item Showcase, Screenshot Showcase, Custom Info Box).
- Arrange the order of your active showcases.
- Customize the content within each chosen showcase type.
Obtaining More Showcases
All Steam users start with at least one showcase slot available by default. To get additional slots:
- Leveling Up: You earn an additional showcase slot every 10 levels on your Steam profile, starting from level 20.
- Steam Point Shop: You may purchase and level up showcases using Steam Points acquired from purchasing games, DLC, hardware, or contributing to the community. Purchasing a showcase from the Point Shop permanently adds it to your profile and allows you to choose its type, much like a level-unlocked slot.
Below is a simple table illustrating how showcase slots are earned through leveling based on the provided information:
| Steam Profile Level | Showcases Earned via Leveling (Cumulative) | Default Showcase | Total Showcases |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 0-19 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Level 20 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Level 30 | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| ... | ... | 1 | ... |
| Level 140 | 13 | 1 | 14 (Maximum levels based on reference) |
Note: The reference indicates a maximum of 13 showcases earned via level progression, starting at level 20.
By utilizing the edit profile menu and obtaining more slots through leveling or the Point Shop, you can significantly enhance the presentation of your Steam profile.
