How do I add a non-steam game to steam?

Can I do this on steam?

  • I was wondering if it was possible to buy a game through steam online and activate it on my steam account. If it is possible can you please explain how I would do so or add a link to your answer for youtube? I mainly want to buy a game online through steam so i can add a friend on steam. So it would also be nice to know if activating the game will allow me to do so.

  • Answer:

    When you purchase a game on Steam it is automatically activated, as it was purchased on your account with a credit card, so Steam knows it was a legitimate purchase

If you buy it on Steam it'll activate automatically

yes if you get a game from steam it automatically activated to your account. then you just go to games and download it. but you dont have to do that to add a friend. you just add your friend to steam. if he has the same game then when you play you can click his name and join game if he is playing.
