You can't exactly 'borrow' a game on Steam in the traditional sense, like you would a library book or a DVD from a friend. However, there is a cool feature called Steam Family Sharing that lets you share your game library with friends or family members! Simply enable Steam Guard, authorize their computer, and share your library. Keep in mind that only one person can play from the library at a time.

Nope, borrowing isn't a thing on Steam. Gotta use Steam Family Sharing to let someone else play your games, but you won't be able to play any games from your library while they are.

Actually had a buddy share his library with me through Steam Family Sharing. It's like borrowing, but better. You get access to tons of games as long as they're not playing at the same time. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me!
