Valve似乎正在致力于使Steam游戏文件更容易在电脑之间传输，DSteamdb创始人thexpaw在Steam中发现了一些与P2P下载相关的代码可以通过局域网传输Steam文件。
P2P网络通常用于通过Ad Hoc连接来连接节点，这类网络可以用于多种用途，各种档案分享软件已经得到了广泛的使用，P2P技术也被使用在类似VoIP等实时媒体业务的数据通信中。一个简单的例子是，该功能可以用于将Steam游戏从PC下载到Steam Deck，速度要比正常下载快的多。
据PC Gamer报道，目前已经有程序员在Steam开发者版本中实现了这一操作，只是目前效果还不稳定，有的时候会连不上，可能V社还需要进一步调试才会正式将该功能发布上线。
Valve seems to be working on making Steam game files easier to transfer between computers. Dataminer and SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik has spotted lines in the Steam API that indicate that the ability to transfer Steam downloads over LAN might be coming soon. While its uses aren’t immediately obvious, players with multiple gaming systems that use Steam will find the new feature useful. A good example is that this feature can be used to download Steam games from a PC to a Steam Deck without having to worry about keeping the handheld system running for too long. Valve recently hit a new landmark with concurrent Steamusers hitting an all-time peak of just over 30 million users. Earlier this year, the all-time peak sat at around 28 million. Steam has also released a new version of its client beta that allows users to make use of the Steam Deck’s implementation of the Big Picture Mode UI on their PC. The new UI brings an improved home screen, and quick access to multiple options through controller shortcut keys. A good example would be downloading games on Steam Deck directly from your PC instead of the internet. If it will read installed game on disk, that should also avoid the decryption step for each chunk. — Pavel Djundik (@thexpaw) October 27, 2022
