Can you play 2 games at once on Steam?
Not in the traditional sense, no. Steam generally allows you to run one game at a time. However, there's a workaround if you're looking to multitask: you can launch a game, then use the 'Add a Non-Steam Game' feature to add and run a non-Steam game or another program. Just keep in mind that performance might take a hit depending on your PC's specs!
