Can I leave a Steam Family?

Steam Families are intended to contain your immediate family. As who you include in your immediate family can change over time due to growing up, marriage or other events, it is understandable that some day you may need to change to a new Steam Family. Adults can leave a family at any time, however, they will need to wait 1 year from when they joined the previous family to create or join a new family.

Children in a Steam Family cannot leave the family themselves and must be removed by an adult in the family or by Steam Support.

As it is rare that a family member leaves the family, each Steam Family slot has a cooldown of one year before a new member can occupy that slot.


I accidentally left my Steam Family! Do I have to wait a year to rejoin?

No. You can always rejoin the last Steam Family that you were a member of without waiting, provided that it has less than 6 members when you try.

what the heck one of my brothers switched accounts and now i cant add him back??

Yes its Valve´s fault you did not read how Steam Families work or read any of the popups and then got punished because of it.
