Issues with Family Sharing for Assassin’s Creed Games

Hi everyone,

I’ve run into a frustrating issue with Steam Family Sharing and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced the same thing or has advice.

Previously, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate was available in my family share library, but now it’s gone. Additionally, Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry shows as family sharable, but it isn’t appearing in the family library for me.

It seems like some Assassin’s Creed games can be shared while others cannot. I understand that games requiring third-party applications often aren’t sharable, but I also know that some AC games have been successfully shared by other people. As I mentioned, one of the AC games did appear before but now no longer does.

Does anyone know why this happens and how I might fix it? I’ve searched for answers but haven’t found anything clear. Any guidance, advice, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Which games are currently eligible for Family Sharing?

As Steam Families is replacing the Steam Family Sharing feature, all developer set Family Sharing settings from the outgoing feature are being brought forward to Steam Families. So, if a game is currently eligible for Family Sharing, it will remain so in the new system unless the publisher chooses to opt-out later.

As with Steam Family Sharing previously, not all games can be shared due to technical limitations, some Steam games and content may be unavailable for sharing. Games or content that matches the criteria below cannot be shared between accounts.

• Games that require an additional third-party key, account, or a subscription in order to play
  
• Free to play games and any purchased DLC for those games
  
• Games or DLC that is restricted in your or the other family member's region
  
• Games that do not support the other family member's operating system
  
• Games that the publisher has marked explicitly as unavailable for sharing
  
• Games marked as private by the original owner
  
• Games that are currently excluded from Family Sharing will continue to be
  excluded from sharing in Steam Families. This includes games that require an additional third party account or subscription.
