https://store.steampowered.com/springcleaning

Dust off that library of games and uncover something new, during the Steam Spring Cleaning Event!

Earn a new badge for your Steam profile by playing selected games already in your Steam library, or by trying out something new from an assortment of games with a great history on Steam available for free this weekend!


Trophies for doing shit like: "Play a game you have 2+ hours in but haven't played in a long time" "Play a game you have less than an hour in" "Play a game you bought in the past 6 months" "play the first game you bought on Steam" (for me that's Psychonauts <3)

It's the first for me as well, mainly because it was free.

Also according to some of the items, this is in preparation for the summer sale and it should be interactive.

Yep, September 5th 2011. I would've created it a couple years before that for the same reason (portal being free) but didn't get around to it and couldn't be bothered to considering I was running a toaster. Also, come to think of it, my second game was Ys The Oath in Felghana, which was a gift.

Edit: my second game was Portal 2, which was also a gift during Christmas because it was co-op and it was cheaper to buy a double pack.

Or just check the Spring clean event, scroll to "blast from the past" and click "let's have a look".

Cards are used to make badges, which also gives you a wallpaper or chat icons related to the game's badge. If you don't use any social features, even the friend chat, then you can probably safely sell all the cards you get. They can actually fetch a pretty penny if you have a lot of games, and I once sold a foil Steins;Gate card for $18, so that's always a nice surprise.

Just an FYI if you get enough of these trophies you'll get some Steam emoticons, a wallpaper and a "Mystery Item" that looks like a cardboard box with this description:

"Spring Cleaning Event Consumable
This item might be useful in a future sale.

Earned for participating in the Spring Cleaning Event in 2018."

So it's gonna play into an event later on.

As someone who only uses Steam to play games and not mess with my profile, how do I earn the profile wallpaper, assuming there is one? I couldn't find any info on it through google.


There are three tasks that change every day (so don't forget to do them every day) and then the six or so standing ones that will be constant for the whole event, here: https://store.steampowered.com/springcleaning

Click on a task to see which games in your library are eligible.
Boot it up, complete the task, and the item will go into your inventory (you'll see a green notification icon at the top right of the Steam page or program).

To add it to your profile, mouse over your display name at the top and click Profile, then click "Edit Profile" that's on the right side of the page (it's about equal with your bio and display pic), and there's a Profile Background option you can select that brings up all the wallpapers in your inventory.
