Steam games are typically bound to the account of the purchaser, which means you cannot transfer or give a game to someone else. However, you can utilize the Steam Family Sharing feature, allowing you to share your game library with up to 10 devices or 5 accounts. This way, others can play the games you've purchased on their own accounts without needing another copy. To set this up, enable Family Library Sharing in Steam's Settings under Family.
