Latest Steam Client Update Lets You Hide Games From Your Friends

Valve has announced it’s adding a privacy feature In the new Steam Client Update that will let users hide any game they want from their friends. Through this feature, players can mark certain titles as private which will make them disappear from Steam accounts, not allowing anyone to view them. As per the announcement, This feature will hide your game ownership, in-game status, playtime, and activity, keeping it to yourself.

You can exercise this option from three places: your game list, your shopping cart, and your Library in the Steam Client. Hiding your games can start even before you make the purchase as the new cart will let you make specific titles private while you are shopping or checking out. Furthermore, this updated shopping cart will be the same on all your devices moving forward but is only accessible through the beta client right now.

In addition, you can also hide games from your game list on Steam, which is accessible from a web browser. Unsurprisingly, this option extends to your Steam Client Library as you can make any title you like private and make it invisible to your friends. Doing this is very easy, you just need to go to the Game page, then go to settings, and click the Manage button.
