CTOnews.com, February 20 (Xinhua)-- Steam Deck now supports game delivery on the local network, allowing users to copy installed games from PC to Steam Deck without having to re-download them over the Internet. This is one of the features of the Steam Deck beta update released last week, which not only reduces the use of network traffic, but also speeds up installation or update.

To get this feature, the user first enables the beta version of Steam on the Steam Deck and Steam clients on PC, and then selects the game you want to install on Steam Deck, and Steam automatically checks to see if any computer on the user's network already owns the game. If found, Steam will start the game transfer process.

It is worth noting that this feature also applies to computers on the same network, so users are free to transfer installed Steam games from any other computer in the user's home to the user's computer. Steam details how the feature works on its support page and indicates that if the device is disconnected during transmission or there is no more content to transfer, Steam will instead use its own common content server to download the rest of the content.

CTOnews.com learned that users can also adjust settings to determine which PC Steam Deck (or PC) can be downloaded from. Although Steam sets it to "only my own device by default", which means that users can only transfer games from devices where users log in to Steam, users can also set it to "only my friends" and "any user" if they want to get games from friends or family members'PC.
