One of the most annoying things about owning digital games is it’s far harder to share them with those you love in life, but Valve is looking to remedy this with Steam’s newest feature.
Steam Families, which was unveiled by the platform’s creators today, will allow you to share your library of games with up to six members of your family. Using this feature means players can try out all kinds of games from your family’s library without needing to purchase them. You can even play one while someone else is online; a marked change from the old rules when Steam had two ‘family’ systems—Steam Family Sharing and Steam Family View—in place. The new Steam Families, which is now in beta, will replace them both.
