A gamer has spent $500,000 on Steam to level up his account

A Steam user has shattered the record for the highest account level on the platform. Unbelievably, they’ve skyrocketed to level 5,960, but it came at an astonishing cost of over $500,000.

If you did not know the Steam account levels are earned by playing and unlocking badges. However, you can also purchase badges from the internal market to speed up the process. What’s the point of having a high account level you may ask?

Well in real terms nothing, however, some wealthy users have started competing with thousands of dollars to level up their accounts, as a sign of superiority.

Steam Record is now broken

For quite some time, the record was held by CS skin collector ST4CK, also banned in 2023. However, there is a new competitor named Stasik who surpassed him by almost 1,000 levels. Stasik possesses numerous high-level Counter-Strike 2 skins, with some valued at tens of thousands of dollars.

By examining his account, the streamer ohnePixel, who first brought it to the attention of the general public, not only discovered the very expensive skins but also stickers full of racial insults, which could cost the wealthy gamer a ban too, in the meantime is continuing his crazy spending to further increase his level.

What would you do with $500,000? What is your Steam level? Let us know in the comments 😅
