Transferring Steam game progress to another account is generally not possible due to Steam's policies and DRM constraints. However, you can share your games with family or friends via Steam’s Family Sharing feature. To activate it, go to Settings > Family > Authorize Library Sharing. This allows others to play your games but does not transfer individual game progress. For specific games, you might manually copy save files, but this varies by game.
