Being a PC gamer has many advantages, one of which is being able to share your Steam library. When it comes to physical games, it’s easy because you can just walk up to your friends and lend them your game disc. But for PC, it’s not so simple, thankfully with Steam’s Family Library sharing feature. Your family members or guests don’t have to actually own the games to have access to your collection. The best part is that they can even unlock achievements!

Before you can share the games, it is important that the person whose library is being shared logs in to the computer of the person requesting access to said games. You also need to make sure that Steam Guard is enabled.

Please note that as long as the library is shared, only one user can play games at a time. This does not change even if two players want to play different games.

That’s all there is to it on how to share your Steam library. If you don’t like it starting up every time you boot your PC, you can check out our guide on how to stop Steam from starting on startup . But if that’s all too much hassle and you’re done gaming, you can also delete your account.
