Validating your game files on Steam is super easy! Just right-click on the game in your library, go to 'Properties,' then click on the 'Local Files' tab and select 'Verify Integrity of Game Files.' Steam will do its magic, check for any missing or corrupted files, and download replacements if necessary. It's like giving your game a quick health check-up!
