How do you add non-Steam games to your Steam library? Steam’s library system is streamlined and easy to use provided you don’t subsist on Uplay points or posses a wealth of DRM-free gems.

Learn how to add non-Steam games to Steam and your Steam Deck to access all your games in one place.

Steam has most PC games, but it doesn't have them all. You'll need to know how to add external games to your Steam library to have your collection in one spot.

This includes any .exe or software installed. There are limitations — adding a non-Steam game is essentially adding a shortcut to your Steam library.

While Steam-bought games will auto-populate with artwork in your library, non-Steam games don't get the same treatment unless users add custom images.

While you can launch games not purchased from Steam in its desktop app, games from the Microsoft Store or PC Game Pass need a little help to work.

All games purchased through Bethesda's launcher can can now be transferred over to your Steam library at no additional cost.

These days, with every other company having its own launcher, you can quickly find that your PC game library is spread out across multiple apps.

Whether it’s a classic game gathering dust on your hard drive or a recent purchase from another store, Steam makes it easy to consolidate your collection.
