How to make a transparent Steam profile

How to do it

1. Open the Dying Light 2 page in the Points Shop and find the item called Dying Light 2 Stay Human Profile. It was 10,000 points when we checked in October 2026.
2. Buy it with your points. A game profile is a bundle, usually with a background, an avatar, a frame and a theme.
3. Open Edit Profile on Steam and switch the game profile on, then save.
4. Players report the see-through look comes from the theme. If you want a different background, avatar or frame, change those and leave the theme as it is.
5. Check your profile in a web browser and in the Steam client. They don't always look the same.

Worth knowing

• This is based on what players share on the Steam forums. Valve doesn't document it, and it could change.
• Other game profiles are see-through too, but less so. Some players say it's worth testing before you spend points.
• With see-through panels, the background sits right behind your text and showcases. A calm background keeps them readable, so we keep a list of calm Steam backgrounds.
• You earn 100 Steam points for each US dollar you spend on Steam.
