Updates to the Steam client and the games bring new features and close security loopholes. How to carry out the respective updates is explained in the following instructions.

Update the Steam client

Often times, Steam will automatically notify you of updates in a pop-up window. However, if you haven't received updates in a while, you should check for them manually. To do this, click on " Steam " in the upper left corner of Steam and then select " Check for Steam Client Updates ". You will then be shown whether updates are available for installation.

Update Steam Games

Manage downloads of updates

The games from Steam also usually keep themselves up to date. Updates are downloaded just like installations and can be viewed in the download menu. To do this, click on " Downloads " at the bottom of Steam . Here you can see an overview of downloadable and already downloaded games and game updates..

Keep games up-to-date automatically

When you install a game, you can choose whether you want updates to be carried out automatically. In most cases this is advisable because games can only be played with the latest version. Always updating games by hand only makes sense if you share a weak internet connection with someone. How you can change the settings for updates later, read the following:
