Steam gift cards for Japan

What is a Steam Japan card?

A Steam card for Japan is prepaid credit in JPY, issued for Japan. Steam Wallet funds buy games, downloadable content and in-game items on Steam. The balance stays in the Steam account and cannot be withdrawn.

Steam matches a code to the wallet currency. Its support notice limits redemption to the currency the account's wallet already uses, so a code in JPY is meant for a JPY wallet.

What can you buy with a Steam Japan card?

What is on sale can differ by country, so check Steam in Japan for the item you have in mind. Look up the region or country in the game account settings before you buy.

• Games and downloadable content from the Steam store
• In-game items in games that take Steam Wallet funds
• Items on the Steam Community Market
• Games bought as a gift for a Steam friend

About Steam gift cards

A Wallet code and a friend gift arrive differently

Steam's own Digital Gift Card service sends money straight to a friend: once the friend accepts it, the gift lands in their Wallet and Steam converts it into their currency. A Steam Wallet code works differently. You type it in yourself, and it adds money to the Wallet of the account you are signed in to. A game key is a third, separate product, so look at what a card page says it delivers before comparing amounts.
