A very good feature for portable devices.
I don’t think there can be any discussion if we say that Steam is the platform most loved by PC users, and it is probably the one that works best of all, in addition to the one that has been working the longest, which is why many users They have gotten used to using it. Competition may have emerged in recent years, but Steam is still the favorite of most fans, in addition to the platform where more games are released for these devicesbeing a not insignificant number of annular launches.
Even so, and although this platform already has many features that have been requested by fans for a long time, there are still several highly requested features, which could improve the quality of life of users, but not yet implemented. Now it seems that one of these could arrive soon.
Installing PC games via LAN could be a reality
You have already been able to read it in the title of this section, but specifically we are talking about a function that would allow us to install Steam games through LAN, so we would not depend on our internet. This has been discovered by Pavel Djundik, known precisely for making leaks of this type on Steamwhich he has been able to find by looking at the Steam API code, and then sharing it through his Twitter account.

It may seem silly, because nowadays it is difficult not to have internet, but it can be quite beneficial, especially for the user who has several devices. You just have to put yourself in the case of a person who normally plays on desktop, but has to use the laptop for a while to play for whatever reason. This feature will mean that you don’t have to wait for the game to download completely, but you can transfer it much faster from one device to another. In addition, possibly this feature was made with the Steam Deck, Valve’s portable console, in mind, which is being a success among the public, which is why it is natural that more ways are sought to improve the quality of life of its users on this platform.
