Steam Families Launched

    When you join a Steam Family, you automatically gain access to the shareable games that your family members own and they will also be able to access the shareable titles in your library. The next time you log in to Steam, this new 'family library' will appear in the left column as a subsection of your games list. You maintain ownership of your current titles and when you purchase a new game it will still show up in your collection.

    Best of all, when you are playing a game from your family library, you will create your own saved games, earn your own Steam achievements, have access to workshop files and more.

    Family Sharing enables you to play games from other family members' libraries, even if they are online playing another game. If your family library has multiple copies of a game, multiple members of the family can play that game at the same time. For a more detailed look at how Family Sharing works, see the FAQ below.

So does this mean when I finally move on to that big gaming table in the sky, my grandchildren can get my games?

Not for me. I ain't leaving no games for my 9 year-old grandson to win in one play-through after I've trying to win since the Carter Administration. Stay off my Grass Simulator 2024.  :grumpy:

I just discovered this feature.  Really cool and very nice of Steam to offer this.  PS+ has been doing something similar for years.
