Steam Families puts game sharing and parental controls in one place


Steam has introduced Steam Families, a game-sharing and monitoring feature for parents and children.

Only adults can manage the account or implement parental controls, such as setting playtime limits (and reviewing requests for more), seeing playtime reports and choosing which games a child can play. Children can now request an adult on the plan to pay for their shopping cart, which a parent can manage via email or phone by pressing approve or decline. Steam Family is currently in beta and requires each member to join to participate.
