Valve Launches Steam Families Feature
In gaming news, Valve has introduced the Steam Families feature on its PC gaming platform, allowing up to five family members to join a shared family account and access a common game library. Steam, which has dominated the PC gaming space for over two decades, rolled out this feature after a successful beta test earlier this year.
While the feature allows multiple members to play different games at the same time, there are some restrictions. According to Gamerant, users have expressed frustration with the fact that adults can leave a family group but must wait a year before joining another. Additionally, family members need multiple copies of the same game to play it simultaneously, and accounts must be based in the same country to join the same family group. Despite these limitations, the Steam Families feature provides an exciting new way for families to share their gaming experiences.
