"Valve has announced that it will stop supporting 32-bit versions of Windows for its Steam app next year. Valve will continue to support 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11 with Steam, but on January 1st 2026 it's game over for 32-bit versions of Windows. Windows 10 is the only 32-bit version of Windows that's still currently supported by Steam."
"Microsoft is about to end of support for Windows 10 next month, but Valve will continue to support 64-bit versions of the OS. You'll also still be able to play 32-bit games through Steam, just not install the Steam app on a 32-bit version of Windows. The irony here is that the current version of Steam is a 32-bit app on all versions of Windows right now, but that appears to be changing soon."
Valve will end support for 32-bit versions of Windows for the Steam app on January 1, 2026. Valve will continue to support 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11 for Steam. Windows 10 is currently the only 32-bit Windows edition still supported by Steam.
