Google is finally delivering a big feature for the almost one-year-old Stadia. The company has begun rolling out Family Sharing on the game streaming service. The feature will show up in the Family section. It will allow you to share any game in your library with up to six people.

If the account holder has a Pro subscription, they can even share the games they redeemed. But only while they maintain their subscription. If they don't, then those in their family group will lose access, too.

According to Google, only one person can play a title at a time. But other games will be accessible to other members of the group. But if the account holder and the game allows it, two people can play a shared game at once. A family sharing icon will appear if the game is shareable.

The primary account holder can choose to share all their games, or by selecting specific titles to share. Game add-ons or expansions are also shareable, while in-game currency isn't.
