Steam Deck, a portable game console developed by Valve, which operates the PC game platform Steam, is gaining popularity because it is compact and has processing power to enjoy PC games. It turns out that these Steam decks are adding the ability to transfer games from a PC over a local network and quickly start playing them.
The game transfer function between Steam Deck and PC can be used in the beta system software released on February 17th. Until now, you had to download the game from the Steam server to play the game on the Steam deck, but depending on the Steam server situation and the type of Internet connection, the download speed can be quite slow. The newly developed transfer function allows games to be transferred over a local network from a PC that has already installed the game. This way, you can quickly start playing games on Steam decks, regardless of server congestion or internet line delays.
During game transmission, Transferring game files is displayed at the top of the PC screen, and the name of the device to be transferred is also displayed. On the screen of the receiving side, the name of the device on the sending side appears. According to Steam, the game transmission function through the local network can be executed between PCs, and a transfer speed of 100MB/sec can be expected on the latest PC. However, it is not recommended to perform other tasks concurrently as it puts a lot of load on the PC CPU and disk while transferring the game. Related information this placecan be found in
