You can make a refund on almost all games we buy for any reason.
The refund will be made one week after the request is approved and the funds will go to the Steam Wallet or other payment method used.
However, to be approved for the refund process, you must fulfill the applicable terms and conditions.
Below are the terms and conditions according to the type of product which have been summarized from store.steampowered.com.
Downloadable Content
Downloadable Content or DLC is additional content to support the game gameplay. Those of you who want to refund the DLC can do so within a maximum of 14 days of purchase and the game has been played in less than two hours since the DLC was purchased.
Additionally, the DLC has not been used, modified, or transferred. For some DLCs, refunds cannot be made because there is a "non-refundable" statement on the shop page.
Games
Purchase refund games can be done a maximum of 48 hours after purchase and the in-game items have not been used, changed or transferred.
Pre Order Items
You can buy a number of games on Steam by doing pre order first. You can make a refund before the game is released within 14 days or two hours after the game is released.
