If your computer has ever surprised you with a loud roar, only for you to discover that Space Marine 2 is frantically installing a massive 9 billion gigabyte update on Steam, then Valve's new upcoming feature may be of interest to you. Typically, Steam automatically downloads updates for installed games whenever they are released, sometimes at inconvenient times.

While this feature may not be ideal for everyone, it will be optional and not the new default setting. 10678
