Yes, your son can use your Steam account, but it is important to note that Steam’s Subscriber Agreement forbids sharing accounts. Instead, you can utilize Steam Family Sharing, which allows him to access your game library while keeping his own achievements and saves. For setup, go to Steam > Settings > Family > Authorize Library Sharing.**
