In a Rare Win for Gamers, Steam Families Looks to Put Us First, PlayStation and Xbox Take Note

Valve owns the most popular platform for PC games in the world, and since its launch, Steam has been the go-to for gamers regarding prices and support. Now, as the platform continues to improve, Steam Families is the new name of the former Family Share system, which has been updated with some exciting changes. 

Xbox and PlayStation have similar setups, but with many people sharing games, this is something PC players want to enjoy as well. And with the updated system, players will have an even better way to share, with four different family members.

Family share from Steam gets a new update and name, Steam Families.

Valve keeps adding new things to Steam to improve the user experience, especially since the platform is the most used PC player market in the world. The main goal of the platform is to sell more games, and users are always giving their feedback.

With the new Steam Families system, game sharing has changed completely, with a great deal of focus on additional options for parental control.

will let you have up to six different users in total, inside your family group. With this new option, two users can play the same game at the same time, as long as each member has the game. You can also apply parental control to every individual user to limit what kind of games they can play. Every family member’s game purchases can be under your control and approval.

This family system allows you to see how much time each member has spent playing every game. And every aspect of parental control has been greatly improved to make the experience more appropriate for children.

are praising this change and talking about how PlayStation and Xbox have to implement things like this. For example, PlayStation’s version allows you to share your account with only one other user.

Some Redditors have explained that this makes family sharing ten times more useful than before. There are a lot of Steam users with kids who want to implement these changes and improve parental control. 

Steam players seem to be happy with these changes, especially those with kids who want to track what games they access, and how much time they play. This kind of change could apply to every other platform, but each company has its own agenda for how to manage content among different users.
