According to popular YouTuber OhnePixel, having a high Steam level is usually only for showing off or if you have a lot of money to spend. However, one dedicated gamer has taken it to the extreme by spending a whopping £380,000 to claim the number one Steam account in the world. This account is filled with an incredible inventory of skins that would make any gamer jealous.
Just a short while ago, another gamer made headlines by breaking the Guinness World Record for owning 444 gaming consoles, from the Magnavox Odyssey to the PS5 Slim, all connected to one TV. Now, a different record has been broken in the gaming community. This gamer, known as Stasik, has reached an impressive level 5960 on Steam, which is estimated to have cost them between $400,000 and $700,000.
The reason for this hefty price tag is due to the way Steam calculates levels. Points can be earned by purchasing them or by crafting badges, which involves buying a large number of trading cards. For a long time, another player, St4ck, held the top spot at level 5001. However, Stasik, who is based in the United Arab Emirates, recently surpassed them by almost 1,000 levels.
YouTuber OhnePixel was the first to spot this new record and even pointed out that Steam gave Stasik a special badge to acknowledge their achievement. Interestingly, when St4ck reached level 5000 a few years ago, Valve had to create new badges because no one had reached such a high level before. Stasik's profile currently doesn't show a new badge, most likely because Valve hasn't created one for levels this high yet.
Upon checking out Stasik's profile, one can't help but be impressed by their vast inventory of expensive Counter-Strike skins. This includes seven factory new AWP Dragon Lore skins, each valued at £10,000 on third party sites. In total, their account holds over 2.8 million items from various games, such as weapon cosmetics and rare stickers.
OhnePixel also shared their thoughts on this extreme spending, stating, "He spent over $500,000 to get this Steam level. Like, what kind of person are you if you have half a million to spare on a Steam level? You only do it to flex on the internet." It's clear that this gamer has a lot of money to spare and is using it to show off their achievements in the gaming world.
In addition to their impressive Steam level and inventory, Stasik's profile also includes a link to their email and a request to leave a comment or follow them on Twitter.
