If you want to share your Steam games with other people, you can do so using Family Groups. This is a tool that gives you the ability to share your library with up to five other users. In fact, it’s a good option if you have close friends who are video game fans.
With this platform, you also have the option to manage the access of the other members of your group, you can even find out which games they have played the most on Steam, set parental controls to define time limits, receive activity reports or even if you need to place restrictions on certain Steam titles or functions, which can be useful if you want to involve your underage children.
Of course, you should know that not all Steam games have the compatibility to be shared. This will depend largely on the manufacturers, since they are the ones who determine whether their titles can be used under family loan.
Also, keep in mind that only one person at a time can play a game. This means that if someone else is using a specific title, everyone else will have to wait for it to become available before they can take control.
Now, you need to set up the family group correctly so that you can lend your video games from now on. But if you don’t know how to do it, in this article you will find a simple guide so that you can take advantage of this interesting accessibility.
