Steam: the world's largest library of PC video games

By now you probably know what it is all about Steam, we're sure many of you will be using this gaming platform on a daily basis, but for those of you who are new to the gaming world or simply haven't looked into it, we bring this post to bring you up to date

Steam is a platform for Valve Corporation, launched in 2003, which works as a distributor of video games for PC. This is important because, in Steam you will find exclusively games for PC, not for other platforms. In order to start playing with Steam you will simply have to download the client, create an account and you will be able to have on your PC all the titles that you acquire through its platform

The platform was born with the intention of improving Valve's titles, through patches that would correct possible server crashes due to the number of online players, through a single tool (Steam) that would automatically install updates. This ended up being just another function of something much bigger, as it is today, Steam is considered the leading platform for buying digital games for PC.

As you acquire titles, you will build up your Steam library and, most interestingly, you will be able to share it with friends. Yes, Steam is not only a platform for PC games, but it also has touches of social network, a social network known as Steam Community. You will be able to add your friends, with their Steam account, and see what they are playing at any given moment (if they allow it). You will also be able to send gifts, chat in-game and, as we mentioned before, share your games with each other, linking another user to your library.

In addition to all these advantages, you will be able to see reviews and share opinions about the games available on the platform, which currently are more than 40,000. Thanks to the option of Wishlist, with Steam, we will be able to keep track of the games we are interested in, and Steam will notify us when they drop in price or become available again

Steam has come to have seasonal events, such as the showcase 'Steam Game FestivalThe company announced the upcoming titles that will be published on the platform. It is currently a must-have platform for regular PC gamers, and it is available for Windows, Mac, Linux and even on TV and mobile devices. To play, you will only need an internet connection and a PC that meets the requirements of the game you want to play, something that you can check before purchasing it, on the Steam page dedicated to it
