  More info needed. Is it a physical game? A video game? If so, what system? Was there a code registered?

      AFAIK once it is in your Steam library it is there for good and cannot be transferred. It can be shared, but it will always be in your library.

  I’m assumimg you have a store key.

  You could post to one of the relevant communities for game giveaaways, such as !freegames@feddit.uk or !Randomactsofgaming@lemm.ee

  Standard practice is to pretty much just say what game you’re offering, and the dm the key to a random respondent after a day or two.

  Announce it, whoever wants it comments under the post, after a set date collect all the usernames, randomly select one, contact via DM.

    That could be fun! What would be a good comm to do that in? One that’s popular enough?

  I would look into three things first:

  1. Do the terms of the prize dictate transferability? In the rules of the contest in which you won the game, was there anything about not selling or giving away the prize?
  2. What type of game is it? Video game, board game, card game?
  3. What is the delivery mechanism for the game? Some things will be easier to transfer than others. A physical copy can likely just be shipped to a new recipient. A digital key for a game might be easy to just send to the recipient. Other delivery mechanisms may or may not have a system to prevent transfer.

      Maybe.
      If the game is already in your Steam account, no. I can’t seem to run the actual policy down with a quick search, but games in your Steam library are not transferable.
      If you have received a key in your email (It’ll be a long, alphanumeric sequence) then you can forward that to someone else, so long as it hasn’t been used by you or anyone else.
      If the game was sent as a gift to your Steam account using the Steam gift system. Then no, you cannot transfer it.
