If you want to buy and download a game on Steam but just can't wait until you get home to your main PC rig, Valve has just added a new feature that allows anyone with a Steam account to remotely download games from anywhere where there's a web browser, including mobile browsers.
In a new post on the Steam support page, Valve reveals the specifics of the new features, which is now in beta testing. All one has to do is to log on their Steam account and head to their games list. If you have purchased a game but it is still waiting to be installed on your main PC, you can now click on that game and it will be downloaded to your home PC without you having to be there physically.
This could be a big time saver if you are at work or on a trip. If a game is released on Steam that you simply have to have, you now don't have to wait to go home to download and install it. While this system is still in beta testing, it's expected that all Steam users will be able to access this new remote downloading feature very soon.
