Steam Family Sharing
Hello,
I've got a simple question.
Is steam family sharing available for this game?
So can i also play the game if my brother buys it on his account or do i need to switch accounts everytime i want to play the game like it is with PUBG or other games?
thx in advance

Yes, sharing is available for this game--if you are talking about someone else (like your family member) having access to your game library to play this game from their own steam account. BUT, like other steam sharing, 1) they can't play any games from your library while you are playing one of your games (as long as you are on the internet--otherwise, you can work around this issue by going offline on steam) and 2) anyone you give access to will have access to your WHOLE steam library.

To your second question, it's pretty much the same, but just in reverse....he'll need to give you access to his steam library of games.

Hope that helps.

My daughter and I frequently share,,,, ehh no this isn't what you're asking. We just log into each others accounts.

Although when I played ARK we used family sharing then. EAsy to set up since she logged into my account on her pc all the time anyway.

Nothing useful to add here.
