How do you claim these Delisted Games?
There are two ways from which you can claim these delisted games either method works for this purpose but in some cases, you might need to try both the methods.
Method 1(Steam Support): -
This method is the one I recommend as you can claim most of the games with this method and it is relatively easy to do.
Open Steam and navigate to the Help section.
Click on Steam Support.
Scroll down and use the search bar to find the game you’re looking for. Refer to the list for the exact name of the games.
Just select the game and click on It’s not in my library.
Since the game was originally free, Steam will add it to your library at no cost.
Now, you can download the game, access community tabs, and more.
Method 2(Commands): -
If for some reason you can’t find a game from the list in the search box you can try this method.
Press Windows+R to open the Run dialog.
Paste the following code: steam://install/
Add the installation code for the game which is also available in the list.
Hit enter, and you’ll be directed to the installation page.
What are these codes anyway?
These codes are essentially Steam’s internal references used whenever you hit the install button for a game in your library. That’s why you can directly initiate downloads. If you do not own a game and try to run this command it won’t work as it checks for licenses. But in our case, we can run this command and claim the games as the games were originally free to play.
Conclusion: -
I have discovered some gems like 8-Bit Bayonetta, FNAF World and many more. From prototypes to short experiences, there’s plenty of fun to be had exploring these hidden titles and they are free as well. I highly recommend that you claim these games so of them can be really fun to play.
