Yes, Steam Cloud has limits, but not in the way you might think. There isn't a single, overarching limit for your entire Steam account. Instead, each game has its own individual limit for cloud save data. This means you don't have to worry about a total account-wide storage cap.
According to the reference:
- There is no total limit on cloud save data for a Steam account.
- Each game has its own limit.
- Most games will never reach their limit.
Understanding Steam Cloud Limits
While each game does have a limit, it's generally not something you'll encounter as a problem. Game developers allocate a specific amount of cloud storage space for their games. Unless you're storing exceptionally large save files (which is rare), you likely won't exceed the limit.
Practical Implications
- Don't worry about hitting a global account limit. Focus on individual games.
- If you do suspect you're exceeding a game's cloud save limit, check the game's settings or consult its documentation for information on managing save files.
Example Scenario
Imagine you play two games:
- Game A: Has a cloud save limit of 100MB.
- Game B: Has a cloud save limit of 50MB.
Your Steam account doesn't have a cloud save limit of 150MB (100MB + 50MB). Each game operates independently.
