Valve launches Steam trading cards

Earn Steam rewards for playing games

Posted on

Valve has announced Steam Trading Cards, a new service that rewards gamers for playing on Steam.

Released in beta today, Steam Trading Cards allows customers to earn Steam rewards for playing. Those who participate will receive game-specific trading cards that can be collected to earn rewards such as game badges, profile backgrounds, emoticons, coupons, and more.

The group of titles participating in the Steam Trading Cards beta includes Don't Starve, Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Portal 2 and Half-Life 2. The service will expand over the coming months to include many more titles.

All badges now have XP which contributes to your Steam Level, a summary of your badge collection. Leveling up earns you non-tradable items like profile showcases, extra friends list slots, and more.

Joining the Steam Trading Card group will put you in a queue to be part of the beta. Every few days Valve will be adding more participants. When you are accepted you'll be notified, and receive a few extra passes to give away.
