Hello! We are excited to announce Steam Families, available today in the Steam Beta Client. 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.

Family Sharing is a feature that developers may opt their games out of for technical or other reasons at any time.

Ubisoft, EA, and Rockstar running to opt out every one of their games.

Kudos to Valve, but for us remember as a general rule that if they have their own launcher, they have no interest in sharing.

opt out was already possible with the old system, and most devs didn’t opt out
