How to find common Steam games

STEAM LIBRARY

Compare Steam libraries

Add your friends’ Steam profiles to find games everyone owns and games that need only one or two extra purchases.

Enter at least two Steam profiles to compare.

Don't waste time deciding what to play

Filter by players, budget and required or excluded tags, then compare games by popularity, releases, discounts and reviews. Weekly ranks lead the default list; friend rooms combine preferences into three shared candidates.

Keep the budget at free and filter by the group

The free filter is applied before ranking, so paid games do not crowd out the list. We then check the group size, session length, language, PC requirements and preferred tags. The examples below are current free-to-play catalog candidates, but monetization and store pricing can change, so the Steam page is still the final check.

Free multiplayer and co-op games

These free-to-play multiplayer candidates have verified catalog data and can be narrowed further with the recommendation filters.

Free games are the least risky way to bring in new friends. Many still have cosmetic purchases or ads, and terms can change with updates. Check that you can make a private room with friends and that the core game is free.
