TL;DR Summary

Valve introduces Steam Families, a new program allowing up to six members to share and play games with close family members, replacing the previous Family Sharing and Family View features. Members can access sharable games in each other's libraries, create their own save files, earn achievements, and access workshop files while playing a family member's game. However, some games are ineligible for sharing due to technical reasons, and two members cannot play one copy of a game simultaneously. The program also includes parental controls and restrictions on game sharing.
