I tried copy/paste my wishlist URL, but I only got the error 'This profile is private.' when I try and look at it in another window.Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Naked Courier [Skyrim]: "I've been looking for you. Got something I'm supposed to deliver. Your hands only..." |
you have to make your profile not-private.... there's no way to say "hey guys, look at all the s*** I want you to buy for me!" without also making your profile public. If it's even set to "friends only" then obviously nobody is going to be able to see it [other than you and your friends].Click on Community [at the top] then "edit my profile" [on the right hand side in smaller letters] and then click on the "Settings" tab and you will see this://i.imgur.com/pxVvk.jpg Set it to one most appropriate for who needs to see your wishlist. That will fix it. //steamsignature.com/profile/english/76561197969913402.png //i.imgur.com/VHKOxqN.png |
Thanks for that information!lol, I just wanted a way to show what games I'm thinking of getting for myself and what others though of them. I don't plan to ask for people to look threw and buy/gift me one of the games on the list. Naked Courier [Skyrim]: "I've been looking for you. Got something I'm supposed to deliver.

If you are into online gaming, then you are familiar with Steam.
Steam is a popular marketplace for gamers. It is a legitimate platform that allows game trading and distribution of digital games.
What is Steam Wishlist?
When you sign up on Steam, you can customize your profile including a wishlist. You can add a game you want to purchase so in case of discounts and sale, you will be notified by Steam.
You can also add games that have not yet been released so Steam can give you a heads up via email when the games are ready for purchase. Friends can check your Steam wishlist and buy the games for you.
How To View Your Friend’s Wishlist On Steam?
- Open your Steam app and login your account.
- On the bottom right, click Friends and Chat to open.
- Look for your friend’s username and click the dropdown arrow.
- Choose View Profile.
- Look for the Games option and click to open.
- Among the different categories, look for Wishlist and click to open. Now, you can check out their wishlist.
How to Allow People to View Your Steam Wishlist?
You may also allow other people to view your wishlist, in case they want to know what to give you. Here are the steps.
- On the menu bar, click your Steam name.
- Select Profile and click Edit Profile.
- Click My Privacy Settings.
- Then, set your privacy status to Public.
Final Thoughts!
Have you tried viewing and buying a game from your friend’s wishlist? What game did you give? Let us know in the comments below.
Is there a way to hide my wishlist?
I'd like to keep track of when things go on sale. Is there maybe another list that I can put it on that will let me track the price? Or a way to disable being gifted? Any ideas?
Thank you!
