How to see which Steam games you and your friends both own

The fastest ways to find the games your whole group already owns — including how to grab a Steam profile link.

Updated October 3, 2026

Most friend groups own far more games in common than they think — the problem is seeing it. Here are the two quickest ways to find the overlap, plus the one setting that trips everyone up.

The quick way: compare everyone at once

  1. Open WeBothPlay.
  2. Paste each person's Steam profile link (or SteamID64, or custom URL name). You can paste several at once.
  3. Press Compare libraries. You'll see every game you all own, sorted by what your group actually plays.

From there you can filter to co-op or PvP, see games only one person is missing (“one copy away”), find games nobody has launched, spin a roulette or send the group a vote. It's free for up to eight people.

Steam's built-in option

The Steam desktop client can also suggest games to play together from a chat with your friends. It's handy for a quick look. What it doesn't do is show who has played what, which games a single purchase would unlock, or let the group vote — and it isn't on your phone. Menu names in Steam change from time to time, so if you can't find it, the comparison above always works in a browser.

How to find a Steam profile link

  • Steam desktop app: open the profile, right-click an empty area of the page and choose Copy Page URL.
  • Browser: go to the profile on steamcommunity.com and copy the address from the address bar.
  • Steam mobile app: open the profile and use the share or copy-link option.

A profile link looks like one of these:

  • https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198000000000 — the 17-digit number is the SteamID64.
  • https://steamcommunity.com/id/yourname — yourname is the custom URL name.

A display name (the name people see in chat) is not the same as a custom URL name, and it isn't unique — so paste the link if you're not sure.

Why someone's games are missing

Comparison tools can only read libraries whose Game details privacy setting is public. It's separate from profile visibility, which is why “my profile is public!” doesn't always fix it. Here's the 30-second fix.

Good to know

  • Family Sharing: Steam's API lists games each person owns. Borrowed games only count if they've been played in the last two weeks.
  • Free-to-play games only appear in a library after they've been launched once.
  • Hidden playtime: if someone ticks “Always keep my total playtime private”, their games still appear but show zero hours.
