Steam ID vs Profile Name vs Account URL

Before starting, though, it’s super useful to know the difference between a Steam ID, a Steam Profile URL, and a Steam Profile name. Yes, they all sound the same, but they are very different.

1)The Steam Profile Name is the “nickname” or “alias” of your Steam account.

By default, your character in multiplayer games has the same name as your Steam Account name.

You can change your Steam Profile Name whenever you want, as often as you want.

These past names of your account will appear in your profile as “Aliases.”

2) Your Steam Account URL is the Steam website link for an account.

 By default, the Steam Account URL is composed of: https://steamcommunity.com/id/ with the original Steam Profile Name added at the end.

Thus, if your original Steam Profile Name was “YamiNyan,” then your Steam account URL becomes https://steamcommunity.com/id/YamiNyan .

However, you can also change the URL of your Steam Account URL whenever you want by going to View My Profile -> Edit Profile -> Custom URL.

3) Your Steam ID is a numerical code made of 17 numbers that never changes.

The Steam ID is the identifier Steam itself uses to keep track of players, who owns what games, friend lists, the community, etc.

As such, this is the only aspect of a Steam Account that is always fixed and can never be changed.

Thus, knowing the Steam ID is important to verify another Steam user’s reputation, send friend requests, connect to third party launchers, etc.
