Direct game updates

[𝓢𝓪𝓻𝓮𝔁]

Heya! :3

When games get an update, is it possible to update them directly without requiring user interaction?

Up to now they are not added to the update queue but scheduled for a certain day/time.
I either have to wait until then or manually add all updates to the queue.

Is it therefore possible that Steam updates the games directly when they get one?

Can this be regulated with the automatic updates between X time?

Otherwise my download settings:

Many thanks! ^_^ ♥

All the Steam games that I have set to High Priority update immediately. They are never queued for a week later like the games that I don't have set to High Priority.

Right click on the game's name in the list in your Steam library, select properties, select UPDATES, click under AUTOMATIC UPDATES and change it to High Priority.

High Priority - Always auto-update this game before others
This game and its updates will be automatically acquired as soon as they are available. Steam will prioritize this game over other downloads.

The longer queue times for games that haven't been played recently started at the end of last March:

Managing Steam Bandwidth During COVID-19 Pandemic

We know a lot of you (like us here at Valve) are stuck at home right now trying to work or attend school remotely. Or maybe you're just playing a bunch of great games on Steam. Whatever the case may be, we know that with so many people at home trying to get things done at the same time, it can put a stress on your home’s internet bandwidth.

With that in mind, we thought it was a good time to remind everyone of some of the features the Steam client offers relating to downloads, so that you can manage your home bandwidth and help everyone in your house handle this unique situation we all find ourselves in.

Changes to Auto-Updating to Spread Out Peak Load

For games that haven’t been played recently, Steam has already been scheduling updates for the next off-peak local time period. Beginning this week, we are now spreading these updates out over several more days. Only games played within the last 3 days will be updated immediately. As always, the game will begin updating immediately if you request to play it, and you can always initiate an update (or pause it indefinitely) through the Download Manager. We’re also looking into additional solutions to help on our side....
