The 14 Best Steam Tricks & Features
You may already know a trick or two, but we bet you have a few discoveries to make the Steam client even better.
1.Family And Friends Sharing
Family sharing as a Steam feature is particularly practical. Up to 5 accounts, each of which can be used on up to 10 devices, can share their games with you for free. However, the games are only available to you while your friends are not using them. Also, not every game is available for sharing. In addition, every purchase supports the game developers, but especially with tight budgets it is very practical, for example, to only have to buy a single-player game once. Rating 10 out of 10.
2.Gamble Remotely
Remote gaming is also an exciting feature. If you use this option, your game will run on your gaming PC, but you can, for example, play on the TV with a controller. This Steam feature works not only on the network, but also over the Internet if the connection is good enough. Rating 9 out of 10.
3.The Network Installation
One of the very useful Steam tricks is to use the games already installed on another computer in order to avoid downloading them from the Internet. With the installation over the network, no manual copying of the game files is necessary. The games can be pulled over the network from your own account or that of a friend. Rating 9 out of 10.
4.The Remote Installation
The next Steam trick allows you to install a game on your PC via the Steam app. For example, you can select a newly purchased game and then start the download on the PC. However, the PC must be switched on and logged into your Steam account. Rating 7 out of 10.
5.Memory Full ? No Problem !
Did you know that when your hard drive is full, you can quickly find out which games are eating up the most memory? In the Steam library folder, you can sort games by file size. There you will also see when you last played the respective game. Once you know which games you want to remove, you can select multiple games and uninstall them with one click. Rating 9 out of 10.
