Steam gets another great new feature.

. Once a game is installed on one PC, all other PCs or the Steam Deck can install or update that game by transferring files directly from that one PC. A modern PC can easily transfer game content with 100MB/sec, and during the transfer the Steam client sending content will generate disk and CPU load ."

By default the feature only allows transfers between systems logged into the same Steam account. However, you can set it to also support people on your Steam friends list or any users. If a friend comes over with their Steam Deck and wants to download Apex Legends to play together, for example, you could potentially get things going a lot more quickly by transferring them your 60 gigs of game files—although that's going to depend a lot on the hardware on both ends.
