Steam gift cards are available both online and in many common retail stores worldwide. The best place depends on whether you want a physical card or a digital code.
Online options
Several reputable websites sell Steam gift cards as digital codes that arrive by email within minutes, including specialized gift card retailers and marketplaces. You can also buy digital Steam gift cards directly through your Steam account and send them to a friend’s Steam profile.
Local stores
In many countries, large retail chains, supermarkets, electronics stores, and convenience stores stock physical Steam cards near the gift card or electronics section. Examples commonly mentioned by users include big-box stores, game retailers, pharmacies, and gas stations, but availability varies by country and even by individual store.
How to choose where to buy
If you need the credit immediately and do not care about having a physical card, a reputable online seller or Steam itself is usually the fastest option. If you’re giving it as a wrapped present, a physical card from a local retailer is more suitable and can be purchased while doing regular shopping.
