Steam, the world’s most popular and beloved gaming client, is making headlines with an intriguing news story. A player spent an astonishing amount to level up quickly. Here are the details…
Steam user reaches level 5960!
A user on the Steam platform has broken the record for account levels. Remarkably reaching level 5960, this user spent over $500,000 to achieve this milestone. Normally, Steam account levels are gained by playing games and earning badges. However, users can also speed up the process by purchasing badges from the platform’s marketplace.
Although high account levels offer no practical benefits to users, some wealthy individuals have started spending thousands of dollars to showcase their superiority. The previous record was held by CS skin collector ST4CK, who was banned in 2023. However, a new challenger named Stasik has surpassed him by almost 1000 levels, claiming the record solo.
Steam continues to offer short-term game trials. Unbound, the newest entry in the NFS series, is free to play for 3 days.
Stasik’s account contains numerous high-value Counter-Strike 2 skins, some worth tens of thousands of dollars.
The situation was first reported by the publisher ohnePixel, who found not only expensive skins but also stickers with racist slurs on Stasik’s account. If Steam takes the issue seriously and initiates an investigation, the player could potentially be banned from the platform despite the $500,000 spent.
