If you’re still gaming on a Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 PC, you might want to upgrade, because Steam is ending support in January.
A vast majority of Windows users have updated to Windows 10 or Windows 11. According to StatCounter, nearly 95% of Windows desktop users have adopted one of the two most recent versions of the operating system. But there are still some stragglers with Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 installed on their PCs. Unfortunately for those Windows users, Steam will stop supporting all three of those operating systems on January 1, 2024.
On its support page, Steam developer Valve explains that “existing Steam Client installations on these operating systems will no longer receive updates of any kind including security updates.
