Parental controls will also be very present. Adults will be able to monitor which titles minors play and the time invested in them, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t forget one thing: if you want to try family groups, you must sign up for the beta. To do this, go to Steam and click on the buttons <strong>Steam &gt; Settings &gt; Interface &gt; Participate in client beta.<\/strong> Click on the family groups beta and then click on <strong>Accept<\/strong>.
