I have an 8GB USB drive which is completely empty and I would like to copy Retro City Rampage: DX to it.
Is there a way I can copy to the USB so I can play it on another PC without Steam being required on the PC?
Best Answer
No. You will need Steam installed on the other PC, and you'll need to be logged into an account that owns that game.
