Summary
If you thought you’ve spent a lot of money onSteam, then think again. That’s because someone has spent close to $1,000,000 on Steam in order to set the highest account level record. The crazy part? Most of it isn’t on games.
According to SteamDB, a website dedicated to tracking all things Steam-related, including concurrent players and accounts, userSt4ck was bumped from their spot at the top of the highest account level on Steam. For the uninitiated,Steam levels are open to non-limited users and are a way to show off your profile. They’re leveled up via purchases, badges and trading cards, and higher levels let you add more friends, among other non-essential benefits.
Previously, St4ck, a Counter-Strike skin connoisseur, held the top spot, but they’ve been eclipsed by a user named stasik.That user has jumped from Steam Level 5001 to Steam Level 5960. It has been rumoredthat St4ck spent over $250,000 to get to level 4,000 back in 2019, and a jump to another 1,000 levels could have pushed him well over the $400,000 range.
As for how much stasik paid? Well, that much is unclear,though it’s rumored to be in the high $500,000 range. They appear to be a relatively hidden figure on Steam with a wealth of high-valueCounter-Strikeitems. For example, they have multiple AWP Dragon Lore skins in their inventory.Per a Counter-Strike website, a Dragon Lore can range from $11,000 to $15,000. That means, beyond spending money to level up their account, they also have spent a lot on high-value items as well.
In other words, their account (level + items) is worth as much as some actual real-life stars. The unfortunate part? There’s not an icon available, so the level is stretched out.
Remember, Your Steam Account Can’t Be Transferred
For as cool or eye-popping as stasik’s level is,it’s important to remember that Valve clarified that Steam accounts can’t be transferred when you die. Back in May,Valve told a person that, “Steam Support can’t provide someone else with access to the account or merge its contents with another account.”
