Steam, the company's digital distribution system, currently allows players to re-download any games they have previously purchased onto any PC. This new feature will store player data - namely game saves - remotely on Valve servers, meaning that saves will never be lost.
The first games to support this feature will, as you would expect, be Steam's flagship titles - the Half Life series, Counter-Strike and Team Fortress 2. It will also work with the currently unreleased Left 4 Dead.
If that wasn't enough, Valve have also said that there will be zero quota limits, meaning as well as being able to store hundreds of game saves, replays will also be an option.
Steam Cloud will come as a part of the Steamworks developer package. As of yet, no live date has been mentioned.
