Steam users can get a refund “for any reason”

4.7
Steam users can now request and receive a refund for any reason, providing it’s been less than 14 days since the customer made the purchase but only if they spent less than two hours in the game.

According to the updated refund policy, a full refund will be offered on the game as well as any DLC or pre-purchased items as long as the core game wasn’t played for over the two hours mark. However, some forms of DLC are listed as a non-refundable purchase, so users will need to keep that in mind when clicking the buy button.

Refunds will be credited within a week to either to the user’s Steam Wallet or payment method used when making the purchase.

Gifts cannot be refunded once redeemed, the same goes for movies and those banned by the Anti-Cheat system.

Valve states that it will stop handing refunds to those which abuse the system, but it does not “consider it abuse to request a refund on a title that was purchased just before a sale and then immediately re-buying that title for the sale price.”

RyujiTakasu You NEED to have played LESS THAN 2HOURS for this to work. Overall great addition to Steam.


2 hours is more than long enough to decide if you like the game or not, if it was any longer it could be abused more.

I absolutely love this idea, allows people to try out new games without fear that they won't dislike it

2 hours. You must really dislike the game to only play it for 2 hours up to 14 days. This is a very great addition, I can see many people using this, and some trying to abuse it.

They couldn't because you have the licenses for the game on your console and it'll work as long as you don't delete it.
yes that is true but I did it before.
