Can I hide the Currently In game from Steam?
Posted On: February 3, 2023

I don't want to hide my online status.


I want to hide the currently in-game which appears on a game on my profile page.


Any way to do that?


Question from user KeyC0de at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

Yes, absolutely.


Go in to your profile, and hit edit profile. There's a privacy settings at the left menu, inside that settings there's a setting called "Game Details".


This category includes the list of all games on your Steam account, games you’ve wishlisted, your achievements and your playtime. This setting also controls whether you’re seen as "in-game" and the title of the game you are playing.


(emphasis mine).


Set this to either Friends only (the info is visible to only your friends) or Private (the info won't be shared with anyone).
