Yes, you can family share on Steam and play games together, but with limitations. Steam’s Family Library Sharing allows you to share your game library with family members on up to 10 devices, but only one person can access the shared library at a time. This means if the account owner is playing a game, other users won’t have access to the shared library. Additionally, some games may not be eligible for sharing due to technical restrictions or because they require a third-party key.
