Farm Steam trading cards automatically
Every eligible Steam game hides trading cards that drop while you play. You can sell them for Steam Wallet funds or use them to craft badges. Here’s how to get them all without playing.
How Steam trading cards drop
An eligible game gives about half of its card set through playtime: for example 3 cards out of a set of 6. They drop at intervals while you play. The remaining cards come from trading, buying on the Market or booster packs.
In some games, the first card only drops after a few hours of total playtime.
What you can do with them
- sell them on the Steam Community Market for Steam Wallet funds;
- trade them with other players;
- craft a badge with a full set: XP for your Steam Level, a profile background, emoticons and a discount coupon.
Farm them automatically
Pick the games that still have cards to drop: SuperStreamDropper runs them in the background, without launching them, on one or more Steam accounts. The cards land in your Steam inventory as the hours go by.
Frequently asked questions
How many cards can you get per game?
Usually half the set, rounded: 3 cards for a set of 5 or 6, for example.
Does it work with free-to-play games?
Most free-to-play games only drop cards after an in-game purchase.
Are the cards worth anything?
A few cents usually, more for some games or foil cards. Across a large library, it adds up.
