Why Make Your Wishlist Public?

Making your wishlist public on Steam is not just about sharing your gaming desires with friends; it's also a key step for using PlayThis's import feature. Keep your game management sharp by seamlessly importing your wishlist into PlayThis, ensuring you have quick access to your next potential favorite games.

Understanding PlayThis Import Requirements

For PlayThis to access your Steam wishlist, the wishlist must be set to public. This allows PlayThis to fetch and display your wishlist games, helping you organize your gaming backlog effectively.

The Limitation of the Web API Key

Even if you opt to provide a Web API key, Steam's API does not grant access to private wishlists. This means that regardless of the API key, a public wishlist is still required for the import to function.

How to Make Your Wishlist Public on Steam

To change your wishlist visibility, navigate to your Steam profile's privacy settings and set your 'Game details' to 'Public'. This simple action unlocks the ability to sync your wishlist with PlayThis.

Confirm and Import to PlayThis

Once your wishlist is public, head over to PlayThis and use the 'Import from Steam' feature. Simply follow the prompts, and your wishlist will be integrated into your PlayThis backlog, ready for you to explore and organize. Feel free to change your wishlist back to private once you've successfully imported your wishlist.
