Hello! We are excited to announce Steam Families is now available for all users. Steam Families is a collection of new and existing family-related features. It replaces both Steam Family Sharing and Steam Family View, giving you a single location to manage which games your family can access and when they can play. Create a Steam Family To get started, you can create a Steam Family and then invite up to 5 family members.
This was previously available as a opt in beta, but is now available for everyone.
Previously a family member could only play your shared library if you weren’t playing any game.
With this new steam families, they can play any game except the game you’re actively playing (unless the family collectively owns multiple copies). So if me and my son want to play Lethal Company together we need two copies.

Cool. Well that is certainly a step forward. Thanks.
