Steam username checker for custom profile URLs

On Steam, the part of your identity that has to be unique is your custom profile URL: steamcommunity.com/id/yourname. This Steam username checker tells you whether that URL is already taken, so you can set it before someone else does.

Custom URLs can be 3 to 32 characters using letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores. Your profile name, the one friends see in chat, doesn't have to be unique, and your login account name is private, so the custom URL is the name worth securing.

Gamers usually want one name across Steam, Twitch, YouTube, Roblox and Minecraft. Every search here shows all of them together, plus whether the matching domain is free for a stream or clan site.

Tips for a Steam name

  • Set a custom URL: it's far easier to share than your ID number.
  • Match your Twitch and YouTube names if you stream.
  • Avoid long strings of numbers.
  • Short gaming words with a twist are more likely to be free.
  • Check before changing: your old URL is released.
