Transferring ownership of a Steam account is not permitted as per Steam’s Subscriber Agreement. Sharing, selling, or transferring your account can lead to permanent account suspension. Instead, you can gift games directly through Steam’s gifting feature. This way, your friend or family member can enjoy the game on their own account while keeping their achievements, game progress, and friends list intact.
