Steam Family And Hidden Games

[Zoidberg]

Hello. How will Hidden games that i bought affect Steam Family? will they stay hidden or become visible?

[V3LTA]

They wont be hidden

If you want to hide games from other ''FAMILY SHARE'' members you can right click on a game and set as ''PRIVATE''

[steam library > right click game > manage > mark as private]

Only games marked as Private will not be seen by anyone in the Family Group.

Hidden games are just hiding games in your library from yourself.

some games cant be shared at all, and the games that can be shared and still dont show up in his or her library you should be able to un-private

Private games are excluded from Steam Family sharing[i.imgur.com]

Thanks!

Just marking private isn't working for me. All games marked as private still show to other family members on PC.

On the same PC? That is expected.

Really? because it pops up in the family sharing account as EXCLUDED GAMES meaning they can still see them, they just cant see them in the library itself or play it, they can still see it in the EXCLUDED GAMES section.

Except for the whole EXCLUDED GAMES part that anyone in the family sharing can see.

So yeah, they do not show up in the library, but they can still SEE THE EXCLUDED GAMES.

How do I know this, because I do not own any assassins creed games, however they showed up in the EXCLUDED GAMES section because my family member does own it.

(Separate computers)

It's like having a dead body room with dead body's and you have family come over and you are like "don't go in there" and there is a sign on the door that says "dead body room" Yeah they did SEE the dead body's, but they know they are there.

Assassin's Creed games require a 3rd party account and thus show up in excluded games because of the 3rd party requirement.
