Valve Announces Steam Family Sharing, Goes Into Beta Next Week
好消息!Valve宣布Steam平台将推出家庭共享功能
知名游戏厂商Valve 今日宣布旗下Steam平台将推出家庭共享(Family Sharing)功能,正开放玩家报名参与测试中。
Valve 表示,当家庭共享功能正式上市后,玩家的家人与亲密朋友将可以用个人帐号启动分享的游戏,并且各自在云端保有各自的成就与游戏进度。玩家可以浏览家庭成员的游戏库,要求授权来下载并且游玩游戏;游戏库的所有者可以指定10 台硬体装置来分享,而游戏库如果决定要分享就必须全部分享,而不能选择小部分范围分享游戏,也就是说其他成员将可以浏览玩家整个游戏库。
另外,一个分享的游戏库一次只能有一名玩家来使用,而游戏库的所有者将拥有优先权。也就是说,当某人正在「借」游戏游玩时,若是刚好遇上游戏库的所有者决定在另一台装置登入游玩,正在玩的这名好友或是家人会有一点点的时间来决定要购买这款游戏继续游玩,或是退出游戏。
不过,Valve 也提醒玩家若是要使用家庭共享功能,最好是跟值得信赖的家人与朋友分享,否则如果来分享玩家游戏的人如果在分享的游戏中有诈欺或是作弊的行为的话,届时家庭共享功能的权限可能会被撤销。
Steam 的家庭共享功能限量测试预定9 月中旬展开。
Steam Family Sharing - Players who share computers can also share their Steam games
Steam Family Sharing, a new service feature that allows close friends and family members to share their libraries of Steam games, is coming to Steam, a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC, Mac, and Linux games and software. The feature will become available next week, in limited beta on Steam.
Steam Family Sharing is designed for close friends and family members to play one another's Steam games while each earning their own Steam achievements and storing their own saves and application data to the Steam cloud. It's all enabled by authorizing a shared computer.
“Our customers have expressed a desire to share their digital games among friends and family members, just as current retail games, books, DVDs, and other physical media can be shared,” explained Anna Sweet of Valve. “Family Sharing was created in direct response to these user requests.”
Once a device is authorized, the lender's library of Steam games becomes available for others on the machine to access, download, and play. Though simultaneous usage of an account’s library is not allowed, the lender may always access and play his games at any time. If he decides to start playing when a friend is borrowing one of his games, the friend will be given a few minutes to either purchase the game or quit playing.

Frequently Asked Questions
I want to try this! How can I join the Family Sharing Beta?
To express interest in beta participation, join the Family Sharing Group on the Steam community. The Family Sharing beta will begin in mid-September, when a thousand Steam accounts from this group will be granted access to share their Steam libraries. You’ll know you’ve been selected when you receive an email from Steam inviting you to try out the new feature.
How do I enable Family Sharing on my computer?
Family Sharing is enabled in one of two ways: You can either locally enable sharing in Account Settings, with Family Sharing & Devices, or remotely respond to a user’s Steam request to share your previously installed games via email.
Is there a limit to the number of devices I can authorize to share my Library?
Yes. A Steam account may authorize Family Sharing on up to 10 devices at a given time.
Can I share specific games, or do I have to share my whole library?
Libraries are shared and borrowed in their entirety.
Can all Steam games be shared with friends and family?
No, due to technical limitations, some Steam games may be unavailable for sharing. For example, titles that require an additional third-party key, account, or subscription in order to play cannot be shared between accounts.
Can a friend and I share a library and both play at the same time?
No, a shared library may only be accessed by one user at a time.
When I authorize a device to lend my library to others, do I limit my own ability to access and play my games?
As the lender, you may always access and play your games at any time. If you decide to start playing when a friend is already playing one of your games, he/she will be given a few minutes to either purchase the game or quit playing.
Sometimes the games I’ve borrowed are unavailable for me to play. Why?
Borrowed games are only available on devices that have been authorized by the lender. Borrowed games will be unavailable on even an authorized device when the lender’s library is currently in use on another computer.
Who owns and can access the DLC and in-game content associated with a borrowed title?
A borrower will have access to the lender’s DLC, but borrowers may not purchase DLC for a base game they don't own. Any player may purchase, trade, earn, or otherwise acquire in-game content while playing a game, but in-game items cannot be shared between accounts. These items remain the property of the account that purchased or acquired them, whether borrowing or lending the base game.
Can region-restricted content be shared across regions?
No, any region restrictions will remain in place when lending or borrowing content.
Will I be punished for any cheating or fraud conducted by other users while playing my games?
Your Family Sharing privileges may be revoked if your library is used by borrowers to conduct cheating or fraud. We recommend you only authorize familiar computers you know to be secure. |
