Title: Steam pushes for an inevitable 64-bit future as Valve Sets 2026 deadline for 32-bit Windows client
Post by: Redaktion on December 23, 2025, 05:55:27
Valve is phasing out 32-bit Windows support for Steam, with the client shifting entirely to 64-bit on compatible PCs and updates ending for 32-bit systems on 1 January 2026. While the change affects only a tiny minority of users, those who don't upgrade their OS, or are stuck on legacy 32-bit hardware, will lose access to client updates, security patches, customer support, and reliable compatibility with new games.
