Steam Family Sharing lets you lend your game library to family and friends, so they can play games you own on their own accounts. It's like handing over the keys to your digital game treasure chest, but without the risk of losing your favorite games! Just remember, only one person can access the library at a time, so no multiplayer shenanigans with shared games.
