Can you play multiple Steam games at once?
Absolutely! You can run multiple Steam games at once. But, keep in mind your computer's performance might take a hit depending on the games you're trying to play simultaneously. Some games also might pause or minimize when you switch to another window. It's like trying to juggle; possible, but it requires some skill (and a beefy PC)!

You can, but why? Most games are meant to capture your full attention. Playing multiple at once is like texting during a movie. You can do it, but you'll likely miss out on a lot. Plus, not all games play nice when they aren't the main focus on your screen.
Technically yes, you can play multiple Steam games at once. I've had a casual game running in the background while grinding levels in another game. Works fine, but my PC sounded like it was about to launch into space!
