If you want a high level on Steam, you have to reach deep into your pockets. The record now stands at over 4,000 – the cost is six figures.
There are these moments when you just shake your head and wonder why a person is pursuing this or that goal. Many might think the same about Steam user St4ck, as he is the first to break the Steam level of 4,000. For that, he needed a lot of games and trading cards, which have a total value of around $250,000 (or about €220,000).
An account with “once everything, please”: Not only is the Steam level of 4087 (at the current status) impressive, but also the sheer amount of games on his account. St4ck now owns nearly 4,700 games and likely possesses more than any person could play through in a lifetime. Boredom will likely not come anytime soon.
What is the Steam level? The Steam level indicates how many card collections a Steam user has completed. While the Steam level initially attracts more spots on the friends list, later levels only provide additional spots for the “Showcases” – these are small highlights that players can showcase on their Steam profile. It is mostly about cosmetic benefits.
How do you collect Steam levels? By collecting card sets, which are available for most games and are traded in the Community Market, you level up. Most games already grant some cards while playing, but to complete a whole set, you generally need to trade or buy cards.
Most of the time will likely go to buying and crafting badges, which must be done manually in the Steam menu. The man definitely has endurance – or whoever he has tasked with this.
Who is the player St4ck? The necessary “pocket money” is likely not a problem for St4ck, as he is a member of the royal family of Qatar – which is evident from his private Instagram profile, where he showcases exotic animals and plenty of luxury cars – some of which can also be seen on St4ck’s Steam profile. He certainly spends a lot of time gaming, having logged over 6,000 hours in Counter-Strike, among other games.
What level have you reached in Steam and how many “card badges” have you crafted so far?
For comparison: About 3 years ago, the record was still at Steam level 1000.
