The simplest way to do this is by setting “Game Details” to private within your profile. This prevents your friends from seeing any information related to your current or past gameplay. Additionally, using Steam’s “Invisible” or “Offline” modes will stop real-time activity notifications, giving you more control over your online presence.

1. Hiding Your Steam Activity via Privacy Settings

By setting “Game Details” to private in Steam’s privacy settings, you control who can see your gameplay activity. This prevents friends from viewing the games you’re playing, your achievements, or recent purchases. This adjustment protects your privacy while allowing you to use other Steam features normally.

2. Setting Your Profile to Private

Adjusting your Steam profile to “Private” effectively hides your game activity, achievements, friends list, inventory, and disables comments, ensuring complete privacy. However, this also limits social features, so consider the trade-off between privacy and community interactions.
