Steam Family 2025 in different households, does it still work?

If yes, how do we do it?

Same country?

Yes, even the same region/state. How do we do it?

Physically be in the same location at least once to log into your Steam accounts on each other's hardware.

Should just need to be in the same house/IP, not cross logging into accounts like that. I doubt Valve is going to open up the process to joining a family to possible hijackings just to make Steam Families work.

There are indeed cases where people need to login to their accounts on the same PCs for Steam Families to associate them as being in the same household. IP address alone isn't always enough. Case in point: it's exactly how I got it working for my daughter. It wouldn't work simply by us logging into our respective PCs on the same network.

Hi all! Just tested this with my brother-in-law (different households). Log in to Steam on their PC and have them log into Steam on yours (can be at a distance, just keep contact for authentication), and then just log out and back into your accounts. After this, they should be good to accept the invite and vice versa. Hope this helps!

Thanks everyone! It worked for me, we just had to log-in our steam account to each other's device.
