How To Hide Steam Workshop Favorites

What Are Steam Workshop Favorites?

Steam Workshop favorites are game mods, custom maps, or digital assets that you have bookmarked to use later or to show support for a creator. Many users want to learn how to hide steam workshop favorites because they prefer to keep their game modification choices private on Steam. Unlike standard game favorites in your library, Workshop favorites are tied directly to your community profile page. If you want to keep these mods private from random visitors, here is how you do it.

How to Hide Steam Workshop Favorites on Your Profile

In order to hide Steam Workshop favorites, you need to change your main profile privacy settings. The platform does not currently offer a standalone toggle just for the favorites tab, so you must adjust your entire profile visibility.

Follow these steps on your desktop or mobile app:

1. Open the app and click on your profile name at the top right corner.

2. Select View my profile from the drop-down menu.

3. Click the Edit Profile button on the right side of your screen.

4. Select Privacy Settings from the left menu.

5. Find the My Profile section and change it from Public to Friends Only or Private.

Changing this setting completely hides your Workshop tab, along with your saved favorites, from anyone who is not on your friends list or from everyone entirely.

How to Hide Steam Workshop Items

In order to hide Steam Workshop items you have created, you need to change the visibility settings for each individual upload. Keep in mind that items you publish are handled differently than the items you simply favorite.

To hide items you have uploaded to the platform:

1. Go to your profile and click on Workshop Items.

2. Select the specific item you want to hide.

3. Look at the Owner Controls menu on the right side of the page.

4. Click on Change Visibility.

5. Choose Hidden, Friends Only, or Unlisted.

Hidden items are only visible to you, while unlisted items can only be seen by people who have the exact web link.

Other Ways to Manage Your Steam Privacy Settings

Aside from Workshop items, you can also hide other parts of your gaming activity. Here is how to properly lock down your account privacy.

How to Hide Game History on Steam

In order to hide your game history, you need to navigate to your Privacy Settings. Look for the Game Details option. This section covers your playtime, earned achievements, and the games you currently own. Change this setting to Private to keep your gaming habits completely hidden.

How to Hide Wishlist on Steam

In order to hide your wishlist, you simply need to hide your Game Details. When you set your Game Details or your entire profile to Private, your wishlist is automatically hidden from the public and your friends.

How to Hide Status on Steam

In order to hide your online status, you need to open the Friends & Chat window at the bottom right of your screen. Click the arrow next to your profile name and select Invisible or Offline. Setting your status to Invisible allows you to chat and play without showing up as online to others.

How to Hide a Game on Your Steam Profile

In order to hide a specific game on your profile, you need to mark it as private directly in your library. Right-click the game in your library list, select Manage, and then click Mark as Private. This removes the game from your public playtime records and stops your friends from seeing when you launch it.
