How to remotely manage your library using Steam’s Remote Downloads feature
Remote Downloads are enabled from any web browser or from the Steam Mobile app when you leave the Steam application running on your PC or Mac. Of course, we only recommend you do this on your own private, secured computer.

When you’re logged into Steam on your home PC or Mac, you can manage your library by visiting your Games list on the web.

  1. Log into your Steam account online from your computer or mobile device at https://store.steampowered.com/


  2. Click your persona/profile name at the top of the page, or hover it and click Activity from the drop down menu.


  3. On the page that appears click the "Games" link on the right side.


  4. This will take you to your "Recently Played" tab or "All Games" tab. Select the "All Games" tab. If you’re logged into the Steam client elsewhere, the games list will reflect the installation state of your library on that machine. Next, locate your game and tap the install button to initiate your remote download.

You may choose to refresh this page to check the current status of your installation. When you return to your active client session, your game will be ready to play!
