Valve’s ultra-convenient Steam Family Sharing program recently entered beta with the first 1,000 participants receiving mails instructing them on how to get set up on the service. For those of you who didn’t know, Steam Family Sharing allows up to 10 additional users to access any individual’s Steam game library, though each game collection can only be accessed by a single user at a time. It should be noted that the owner has priority access at all times.
Those of you who are interested in participating in the Family Sharing program just need to join the Steam Family Sharing group on Steam. Additional users will be chosen to help test the program as Valve moves the feature through its beta phase. As of right now there is no timeline for when the full program will run out for all but in the meantime you can check out the Family Sharing FAQ for a more complete list of things you can do and can’t do.
