Epic Games no longer supports those platforms if you want to run Fortnite, for that matter. Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7 in January 2020, and Windows 8.1 at the start of 2023. There has been plenty of pressure elsewhere to move on. The end of support could be particularly troublesome if you need an older version of Windows for work or a retro gaming system. That still affects a significant number of people, though, and may leave them no choice but to either upgrade their OS or buy a PC with a supported platform. Just under 1.9 percent of the software's audience is using one of the relevant Windows versions, according to Valve's latest survey.
Incoming versions of Steam for Windows will also require OS updates that are only available in Windows 10 and newer releases, Valve adds.Īs PC Gamer points out, this won't affect most Steam users. The game client's latest features use an embedded version of Google's Chrome browser, which dropped support for those operating systems in February. Valve has warned that Steam will no longer support Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 as of January 1st, 2024. You might not want to hold on to that vintage gaming PC for much longer.
