The Family Mode of Steam has always been one of the most interesting and problematic points of Valve’s client<\/a>. On one hand, it allowed us to share our game library with friends and family. On the other hand, it didn’t let you play those games if the other person was connected and playing any title.<\/p>\n\n\n

Well, Valve has decided to fully enter the 21st century with Steam Families, a new feature of Steam that encompasses the already existing Steam Family Sharing and Steam Family View<\/strong>, as well as some brand new family features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new feature allows Steam users to create a family of up to 6 members<\/strong> to share games and implement content controls. Something very interesting considering that Steam is the most used client in the world for playing video games.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello! We are excited to announce the launch of Steam Families, now accessible in the Steam Beta Client. This feature introduces significant updates and improvements to family sharing, parental controls, and child purchase requests.
