Steam Family Library 2.0 Just Fixed Game Sharing

Valve’s Family Library 2.0 update landed quietly last week and ends the most annoying parts of family game sharing.

Biggest change: simultaneous play across family members. Your account no longer locks the game when one family member is using it. Each family member effectively has their own copy as long as one person owns the title — within Valve’s standard family-of-six limit.

Second change is a much smarter shared-library UI. Each family member sees a unified library that includes their own purchases plus the family pool, with clean filtering, family-member tags, proper achievement separation. Save data stays per-member.
