How do I manage my game library on Steam?

Asked 5 months ago
Managing your game library on Steam can enhance your gaming experience, allowing you to easily access your favorite titles, organize your collection, and stay updated on new releases. To begin, you can access your library from the Steam client or website. Once in your library, you will find various options to sort and filter your games. You can organize your games by title, recently played, or other criteria that suit your preferences. Steam also offers the feature of categories, which can help you group games based on specific themes or genres. To create custom categories, simply right-click on a game and select “Manage,” then choose “Add to Category.” You can also filter your library with tags to highlight specific topics such as single-player, multiplayer, or adventure games. Managing your game downloads is another aspect of library management. Within the library, you can choose which games to download, pause, or cancel any ongoing updates. Furthermore, Steam provides a feature called "Remote Play" that allows you to stream games from your PC to other devices. Keep in mind that Steam periodically adds new features and updates, so it is advisable to check their official website for the most recent information and tools available to manage your library effectively.
