Steam drops Windows 7 and 8 support with the latest client


No more Steam for Windows 7 8 holdouts.

Steam said that it would stop releasing updates for these operating systems as of January 1, 2024, but users could still use the platform without technical support. If you’re one of the few who refuse to upgrade to Windows 10 or 11, you can still continue using the latest version of Steam by switching to Linux or SteamOS (or a Mac). The latest Steam Client supports macOS 10.15 Catalina and newer, and Apple usually lets you update your Macs and MacBooks for several years.
