14 DAY TRIAL // The latest Steam update introduced a handy feature for those who like to buy bulk, allowing for multiple games to be downloaded in one go.
The new feature was spotted by Steam Database and shows that gamers who use Steam, Valve's worldwide digital distribution service, are now able to install games in batches instead of having to download each individual title separately.
Steam previously prevented you from installing other games while its install dialog window was running, which meant that you had to go through the motions several times if you wanted to install more than one game.
The latest update adds a fair amount of speed and a larger amount of convenience for those who want to install multiple games or install all the games they bought during a sale, or who are preparing to take an enchanted stroll through an extensive offline stretch and would like to do it in the company of several games.
Valve seems to be implementing more quality of life updates as of late, with one of the latest patches enabling gamers to prevent video games from showing up in their game collection, a feature which can be a godsend considering that game libraries keep getting bigger and bigger, often times with games got through bundles that will never be played and that just clutter the interface.
