Steam, which has already excited users for the game festival to be held in the next month, is working on another project that may attract the attention of players. With this innovation, which can be of interest to players who complain about low internet speeds, games can also be played while they are being downloaded.
Steam’s new project is based on a patent filed by SteamDB’s Pavel Djundik last March. Accordingly, players will be able to start the game without waiting for a game they purchased from Steam to be completely downloaded and installed.
What else does Steam’s new project promise?
First of all, the first purpose of Steam in this project is of course to prevent slow internet players from waiting for hours. In addition, this patented innovation has another benefit: Ending the unnecessary bloating that occurs on your hard drive until the game is installed.
There may be gaps between the size of the game you have added to your Steam library and clicked on the download link and the space it creates on the hard disk. This is because Steam continues to create unnecessary and post-installation files on your computer until the game is fully installed.
If this new project can be implemented, users will be able to experience it shortly after the game starts to download. In addition, a problem that Steam users complain about will be fixed: Users will be able to learn how much space the game will occupy on the hard disk after installing it.
Although many consoles on the market have a similar system, you must reach a download size set by the manufacturer to start the game on Xbox Series X, PS5, PS4 and Xbox One. In Steam’s project, you will be able to start the game instantly.
Steam has not yet made a statement about when the project will meet the players. On the other hand, we should add that the famous game platform has tried this feature before. The system, which was tried at the release of Mortal Kombat X in 2015, was not successful. The innovation, which caused various connection problems and gameplay problems, was shelved after a while.
So what do you think about Steam’s new project? Do not forget to share your thoughts on the subject with us in the comments.
