According to Valve, this tool is designed to show the user a sum of external funds that have been applied to their Steam account. These include purchased games on the Steam store and spendings you\u2019ve used to fund your Steam Wallet.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13627\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13627\" style=\"width: 617px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13627 size-full\" title=\"Screanshot of an external funds used in a gaming laptop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/external-funds-used.jpg\" alt=\"External Funds Used in a Gaming Laptop\" width=\"617\" height=\"331\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Source: VentureBeat.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Aside from showing your overall spendings, the tool will also show you two other totals. The first is the OldSpend total which is the number of funds that were put into your account before April 2015, and the second being the PWSpends which represents all the funds you spent on Perfect World accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Valve also revealed that the added feature was part of their move to set the \u201cLimited User Accounts\u201d apart from the others. As we all know, Limited User Accounts on Steam are those accounts which have spent less than $ 5.00, and thus are prevented from accessing some social and community features. This is done to avoid dummy accounts and spammers from abusing other users on the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13628\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13628\" style=\"width: 432px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13628 size-full\" title=\"The new feature shows your spending.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowergaming.com\/w\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/steam-external-funds-gu.jpg\" alt=\"Steam External Funds GU\" width=\"432\" height=\"163\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13628\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Source: TechPowerUp.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Aside from the External Funds tool was also added with other account data options which allow users to view everything from user profiles to chat history you\u2019ve reported, as well as sale votes and threads you\u2019re subscribed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">If you haven\u2019t checked the new update on your Steam Window, then make sure to download the update patch on your PC or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowerpc.com\/category\/gaming-laptops\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">gaming laptop<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">.
