Steam Families Is Now Available for Steam Users And Steam Deck Owners

I have some exciting news to share with you all today: Steam's new family sharing feature is now available for the Steam Deck! And in this article, I will showcase what this feature is, how to get it, and what are some of its benefits.



Essentially, with this new feature, you can now share your Steam account with another user. To get this new feature, you need to follow a few simple steps. First, go to your settings and ensure that you are in the beta update channel. Then, check for updates, and once it updates, you should be able to get this feature. Next, go to Family, manage your family system, and invite people to join your family by searching for them in your friend list.


It's that simple! However, there are a few things to keep in mind. For instance, the new feature is still in beta, and it may not work perfectly just yet. There may be some delays in refreshing the libraries, and the number count may not accurately reflect all the games in the library.


Moreover, you cannot share your account with someone who is overseas, and if you share your account with someone who plays competitive shooters or engages in illegal activities, it may affect your account and games as well. So, it's important to be cautious about who you share your account with.


Overall, I think this new feature is incredible, and it's great that it's finally happening. It's a convenient way to share your games with your family and friends!
