F.A.Q.
Why did all my games disappear on Steam?
All your games disappearing on Steam is not uncommon, as games vanish from the platform for various reasons such as expired music rights, trademark disputes, exclusivity deals, fake review scams, shady developer practices, and more. It’s possible that they may reappear later, but sometimes they are permanently gone.
Why are games not showing up in my Steam library?
Games are not showing up in your Steam library because the game purchase may have failed, leading to a missing license to play the specific game. To resolve this issue, try restarting your device and purchasing the game again.
How do I find missing games on Steam?
To find missing games on Steam, you can try starting Steam as Administrator, validating ownership of your account, changing Steam library filter settings, checking the hidden games list, resetting your internet connection, and correcting the default install folder.
Why did my Steam games get deleted?
Your Steam games may have been deleted because the Steam Client is failing to recognize your game files and is reporting them as uninstalled, even though they are still on your system. This issue can typically be resolved without having to re-download the games.
