How to redeem Steam keys and codes on Android

Activate your games and gift cards on the go

Have you been in a situation where you lost your physical copy of a Steam gift card or literally can’t find access to your product code after forgetting it? Procrastination can be a punishment, but sometimes we’re just unlucky. Why wait to redeem when we can use our trusty Android phone to get everything instantly on your Steam account? Below we have put together a guide to illustrate the process of adding your Steam gift cards (wallet codes) and Steam keys to your Steam account on your mobile.

Download and install the Steam app

To log into your Steam account on the Android app, you may need to get past your Steam Guard. Steam Guard is an extra layer of security (two-factor authentication) tied to your account; Every time you try to log in on an unknown device, you will be asked to enter a code to access your Steam account.

1. Navigate to the Google Play Store.
2. Type “Steam” in the search bar or access the widget below.
3. After downloading and installing the app, tap Open to start the app.

Unfortunately, the current Steam mobile app and the Steam Beta version do not allow you to redeem your keys directly. However, there is still a way around this by redeeming your keys via your mobile web browser, which we’ve detailed below.

1. Launch your web browser and visit the Steam key registration page (and log into your account if necessary).
2. Enter the key in the Product Code box (check the TOS box as well) and tap Continue Submit. Now your product key is activated and available for download in your Steam library.

Redeem your codes on the go

Having a mobile device comes in handy; You don’t always have to access the desktop app to redeem your keys and codes. You can access your account anywhere as long as you can log into your Steam account. That’s the beauty of having the same app available on different platforms (you can even get Steam on Chromebook). With a revamped Steam app heading to Android, the user experience only gets better and more flexible.
