A fresh Steam Beta Client has been released for Desktop and Steam Deck, with a few fixes and upgrades and the change for Steam Families is especially nice.

    Hope the Families beta is released to stable soon - the beta has some weird volume and display issues with some games (Gungeon is a good example).

          What do you mean? My kids have been playing my library using the new Family Sharing rules for a couple months on my LCD deck by opting into the beta.

          And yes, the new Family Sharing is amazing. It’s made me want to buy exclusively into Steam ecosystem.

    Steam families freaking rocks, the original library sharing was a pain for my kids. I’m so glad they are doing this. On my next trip to the US I want to buy a deck for my kids but I don’t know how, since it requires a US based account.

      Yeah, I really like the fact that my son and I can play different games from the same library at the same time. Also, the bi-directional sharing is very nice, and the whole thing is much easier to set up than the original library sharing.

        Where did you buy it? I want to buy it in the US to avoid the high overprice that they sell ir at in my country.

    Can I share a game with my relative who lives in a different country? Or does it need to be under the same Wi-Fi network?
