Steam will end support for Windows 7 and 8 in January of 2024

PC gamers sticking with old versions of Windows may finally need to upgrade if they want to keep playing the games in their Steam libraries. Valve announced this week that it will stop supporting Steam on Windows 7 and Windows 8 on January 1, 2024. "After that date," the company's brief announcement reads , "the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows."
That timeline is still fairly generous to users of the 14- and 11-year-old operating systems, given that Microsoft ended all support for both of them back in January of 2023 . GPU makers like Nvidia and AMD also stopped supporting their latest GPUs in Windows 7 or Windows 8 quite a while ago.
This move will affect a vanishingly small but persistent number of Steam users. According to Valve's own survey data for February of 2023 , the 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 account for a little less than two percent of all Steam usage. This is almost nothing next to Windows 10 and Windows 11 (nearly 95 percent), but all macOS versions combined account for only 2.37 percent, and all Linux versions combined (including the Steam Deck) add up to just 1.27 percent.

It's the end of the line for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Both of these older versions of Windows (plus Windows RT ) stop receiving all security updates today , over a decade after their original releases. Microsoft will also stop providing Microsoft Edge browser updates for these operating systems in a few days, and the remaining third-party apps that still work will eventually follow suit (Google Chrome support, most notably, ends early next month).
Windows 7 support for most people actually ended three years ago, but businesses that still used it could pay for up to three years of additional support while they transitioned to Windows 10 or 11. That window has now closed, and Microsoft isn't offering a paid support option for Windows 8.1.
Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 PCs are rare and getting rarer, but both are still in relatively wide use given their age. Statcounter says that both OSes count for just under 14 percent of all Windows PCs worldwide and closer to 8 percent in the US . For PCs in the Steam Hardware Survey , the number is currently hovering at around 2 percent.
