As a PC gamer, you are surely familiar with the platform Steam. However, there are more possibilities than just starting games. If you delve a little deeper into the software, you will find numerous options and functions that can improve the gaming experience. We have compiled 11 tips to help you get the most out of Steam while maintaining a personal tone.
1. Download games remotely
We've all been there: you're at work or on the go and want to make sure your desired game is ready to play when you get home. With Steam, this is no problem. As long as your PC is turned on and the Steam app is running, you can download any game remotely. Simply go to your browser, log in to Steam, and start the download. You can even monitor the download progress by leaving the page open.
2. Find and sort games
The Steam library can quickly become overwhelming if you own many games. Fortunately, there are options to sort games. You can add games to your wishlist, track them, or hide them. You can also create collections to sort games by genre or developer. Steam's interactive recommendation algorithm also helps you find games that match your interests.
3. Manage downloads
Downloading large game files can consume a lot of bandwidth and affect other applications. Fortunately, there are ways to limit download speed and pause downloads while playing a game or streaming on another device.
4. Install and uninstall multiple games at once
If you want to install or uninstall multiple games at once, you can easily do so by selecting the corresponding games and then performing the desired action.
5. Join the beta program
If you want to try out new features and updates, you can sign up for the Steam beta program. However, you should be prepared to encounter a few bugs and errors.
6. Organize your library with shelves and collections
The larger your Steam library gets, the harder it can be to organize it. Fortunately, there are shelves and collections to better sort and categorize games. Collections can be created manually or automatically. Creating shelves also makes it easier to access specific games.
