Unpacking on Steam means your download is done, but Steam needs to sort out the files it just downloaded. Think of it like Steam's way of moving your newly bought game from a packed suitcase into the proper drawers. It's all about getting those game files ready to run smoothly on your machine!
Unpacking is overrated. Just means more waiting before you can actually play.
Honestly, it's just a fancy term for installing. After your game downloads, Steam unpacks it, which is essentially installing it so you can play.
