Steam Families overhauls shared libraries to let more people play at once and makes it easier for parents to buy games for their kids.
Today, Steam launched Steam Families, an overhaul of its family sharing system. The new system gets rid of limits on how many people can play games from one library, makes buying games for your kids easier, and adds new parental controls and sharing options. Before, you needed to use two different systems — Family Sharing and Family View — if you wanted to share your library but limit which games your kids could play.
Accounts can share a library with five other family members, just as before, but there’s no mention of limits to the number of devices you can authorize. Offline play is supported now, too, whereas the previous sharing scheme required you to be online to play games from someone else’s library. Doing parent stuff is also easier, and not just because you now can manage kids’ access to specific games, monitor their play time, and set time-based restrictions.
