Steam age bypass for the desktop client

Steam often asks users to verify their age when accessing mature-rated games in the Store. This tool automatically bypasses that prompt, saving a fixed birthdate so you won't need to re-enter it—even after restarting the client. For legal reasons, Steam does not store the entered age.

Usage

Make sure Steam is completely closed before running.

Flatpak installations are currently untested.

Please note that no user interaction is required. It will perform the bypass as soon you run it.

Windows

Option 1: One-liner install

Open up windows powershell and enter the following command:

iwr -useb "https://github.com/aamaanaa/steam-age-bypass/releases/latest/download/steam-age-bypass.exe" -OutFile "$env:TEMP\steam-age-bypass.exe"; Start-Process "$env:TEMP\steam-age-bypass.exe"

Option 2: Download from releases

Simply download the latest steam-age-bypass.exe from the releases page, and run it.

Option 3: Compile it yourself

Simply clone the repo, cd into the cloned folder, and compile it for windows.

Linux

Option 1: One-liner Install

1. Open up a terminal.
2. Run the following command:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aamaanaa/steam-age-bypass/main/steamagebypass.sh)"

Option 2: Download from releases

You can download a precompiled executable from the releases. Make it executable with:

• chmod +x steam-age-bypass.elf and run with ./steam-age-bypass.elf

Option 3: Compile it yourself

Simply clone the repo, cd into the cloned folder, and compile it for linux.

TODO

• Testing out Flatpak support
• Auto close steam if running
• Enable the Developer console by default
