Can you refund DLC on Steam in 2023?


To refund DLC on Steam, you will need to follow the same process as for any other game or DLC that you have purchased on Steam. To request a refund for DLC on Steam, you must meet the following criteria:

  • You must have purchased the DLC on Steam within the past fourteen days.

  • You must have played the game that the DLC belongs to for less than two hours in total.

If you meet these criteria, you can request a refund by following these steps:

  1. Open the Steam client and log in to your account.

  2. In the top-left corner of the screen, click on the "Library" tab to view your list of games.

  3. Locate the game with the DLC you want to be refunded, and right-click on it.

  4. In the menu that appears, click on the "Manage" option and select "View Downloadable Content" from the sub-menu.

  5. A list of all the DLC for that game will be displayed. To request a refund for the DLC, click on the "I would like a refund" button next to it.

  6. In the form that appears, explain why you are requesting a refund, and provide any additional details that may be relevant.

  7. Submit the form and wait for a response from Steam Support.

Remember that even if you request a refund for DLC, there is no guarantee that your request will be granted. The decision to grant a refund is ultimately up to the developer and publisher of the game.

They may choose not to grant a refund if they believe that the DLC has been extensively played or if the request does not meet the criteria outlined in Steam's refund policy.

What else do you need to know about the refund process

Here are a few additional things that you may want to know about the Steam refund process:

  • You may only request a refund for a game or DLC if you have purchased it on Steam within the past fourteen days and if you have played the game for less than two hours in total.

  • The decision to grant a refund is ultimately up to the developer and publisher of the game, and they may choose not to grant a refund if they believe that the game has been extensively played or if the request does not meet the criteria outlined in Steam's refund policy.

  • If your refund request is approved, the funds will be credited back to your payment method and may take additional time to be credited, depending on your payment method and the policies of your bank or payment provider.

  • You may only cancel a pending refund request before it has been reviewed and processed. Once a refund request has been reviewed and approved, it cannot be cancelled.

  • If you have any issues or questions about the refund process, you can contact Steam Support for assistance.

How long does steam take to refund DLC?

The time it takes for a Steam refund for DLC to be processed and completed can vary, depending on some factors.

Steam generally states that it may take up to seven days for a refund request to be reviewed and processed. However, in some cases, it may take longer, depending on the volume of refund requests and the complexity of the request.

Once a refund request has been reviewed and approved, it may take additional time for the funds to be credited back to your payment method. This can vary depending on your payment method and the policies of your bank or payment provider.

It is important to note that Steam does not have control over the time it takes for funds to be credited back to your payment method and that any delays in the refund process are usually outside of Steam's control. If you have not received your refund after seven days, you can contact Steam Support for further assistance.
