Check your Family Sharing settings.


Go to Settings > [your name] > Family Sharing.


Tap your name. Confirm or change the Apple ID that you want to


use to share content. Tap Back in the upper-left corner to go back to


Family Sharing. Tap Purchase Sharing and make sure that Share


Purchases with Family is turned on.


If the Steam Family Sharing feature is not working for you, you should disable your anti-virus and try again. If this works, put an exclusion for the game's file path in your anti-virus so you can play the game


while the anti-virus is still running.


Family Sharing lets you and up to five other family members share access to amazing Apple services like Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple News+, Apple Arcade, and Apple Card. Your group can also share iTunes, Apple Books, and App Store purchases, an iCloud storage plan,


and a family photo album.
