Here’s a great tip for all Steam users: you can add several games to your Steam library for free and permanently — even if they no longer appear on the Steam store.
And the best part? When the installation screen pops up, even if you click "Cancel," the game still gets added to your library!
This trick is perfect for collecting rare, hidden, or delisted titles that may not be easily accessible otherwise.
Make sure you have Steam installed on your PC. If not, you can download it for free at https://store.steampowered.com/about/.
Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog box.
Copy and paste one of the Steam install links below. Example:
Steam will open and display the installation prompt.
Click Cancel if you don’t want to install now — the game is already yours!
These games have been tested and verified. Some may have offline modes only or inactive servers, but they’ll still be added to your library.
Steam does not need to be running when you paste the link. It will launch automatically.
You don't need to download the game now. It stays in your library forever.
These games may be delisted or hidden on the store, but can still be added this way.
