Are custom Steam URLs reusable?
Let's say I have http://steamcommunity.com/id/xyz as my custom URL on Steam and then I change it to http://steamcommunity.com/id/qrs.
Is xyz now available for someone else to claim as their URL slug? (And if not, then can I go back to xyz at a later date?)
Best Answer
Yes, that URL should be useable. When you want to set a custom URL it tells you if the URL is free or not. After you change to another URL the old one is free.
