This makes it possible to shuffle a game from your desktop to a laptop or Steam Deck. Thus, one system can act as the server, and another is the client downloading game content from it. The name probably evokes the image of peer-to-peer file sharing, but both of the "peers" in this case are on your local network. News of the "peer content" mode was first broken by SteamDB developer Pavel Djundik, who tweeted about the apparent feature last week. You can tinker with this feature now, but be warned, it's still very early in development. PC gamers almost never use game discs anymore with all the sources for downloadable titles, but what if you didn't have to download them every time? Code from the latest beta builds of the desktop Steam client points to an upcoming feature that would let you move game files from one device to another on your network, potentially saving you a ton of time and bandwidth.
