Steam is home to over 50,000 games on its platform. While it’s very unlikely you will ever play them all, there is a good chance you have a list of games you eventually want to try. With Triple-A titles releasing at over $60 it can be expensive to buy games right at release. If you’re not too worried about playing the game right away, you may want to pick it up later in a sale.
Steam regularly has large sales on its massive catalog of games. You can get notified when a game you are looking to purchase goes on sale when you add the game to your Steam wishlist. If you’re lucky enough, maybe a friend will even buy you a game off your wishlist.
Let’s take a look at how you can add games to your Steam wishlist.
What is the Steam Wishlist
The Steam wishlist allows you to add games you want to play to an easy-to-find list. Other Steam users can find this list and purchase you games, which is a great feature for birthdays etc. Steam will also notify you when games on your wishlist go on sale, meaning you can pick up the games you want at the best possible price.
You can add any game to your wishlist and rank the games by how much you want them. This allows your friends and family to see which game you want the most.

Wrapping Up
That’s everything you need to know about the Steam wishlist and how to use it. Personally, I like to use it to keep an eye on games that I don’t want to pay full price for. Once they go on sale I will grab them and play.
