- 3. Next, request a refund and choose a reason for returning.

What Are the Requirments for Refunding Games on Steam?
Of course, you can’t just decide you don’t like the game and return it after it’s been in your Library for weeks and months. It is possible to complete a game and return, but you must achieve this in a specific time frame.
There are two things you need to fulfill in order to return a game on Steam. The first is to have played the game for less than 2 hours, and the second is that 14 days have not passed since the purchase. If you meet these two conditions, you can return any game you want. Steam is quite easygoing when it comes to refunding games.
