Recheck The Changes Made Using Web Browser
Since we would be viewing the profile from our side, we cannot check the progress made by changing the settings. So copy the page URL and open it in a new browser. As you use this URL to open the page on a browser, you will notice the change. If you are logged in through Steam on your browser, try Incognito mode. The recent activity is not displayed anymore.
This option also includes the Recently Played option. By checking the box, you also hide the Recently Played tab from your public profile page. As a result, viewers who got access to your profile would not be able to check your recently played games. The tab would not be visible and the page might take more time to load. This is is how you can hide Recent Game Activities and Game Hours from Steam.
