so you know how sometimes you're trying to share games with your friends or family members over steam, but it's just being super slow or using up all your data? yeah, that's been a major bummer lately. but thankfully, valve just fixed the issue with local network game transfers on steam, which means we can all breathe a sigh of relief.



basically, the problem was that steam wasn't using your local network to transfer games like it was supposed to, and instead was just downloading them from the internet. which, let's be real, can be a total nightmare if you have limited bandwidth or data. but now that it's fixed, you should be able to transfer games between devices - like from your desktop to your steam deck - way more easily.



to make sure you can take advantage of this fix, you just need to make sure your steam client is up to date. on your pc, you can do this by opening steam, clicking on the "steam" menu in the top left corner, and then selecting "check for steam client updates". you might need to restart the client after updating, but that's it. and if you're using a steam deck, you can check for updates in the settings menu - just look for the bright yellow exclamation point to see if there's an update available.

one thing to keep in mind is that local network game transfers won't work if the devices you're trying to transfer between are running different versions of the steam client. so, make sure all your devices are updated and you should be good to go. it's pretty cool that valve was able to fix this issue, and now we can all share games with each other more easily. preorders are available at major retailers, by the way.
