Steam: Payment methods overview

For PC gamers, Steam is usually the first port of call when it comes to game shopping and communicating with other gamers. When shopping, various payment methods are available on Steam.

On Steam, you can choose between almost all major payment methods.

Unfortunately, the payment methods on Steam are not listed separately. Only during the purchase, when you have to choose a payment method, you will see the options. However, since the account on Steam is free and the payment methods only become relevant when a purchase is active, most users can cope with that.
