![]() However, it is possible that Steam or individual games on Steam may stop working on these operating systems in the future if they rely on features or technologies that are no longer supported by Windows 8 or 8.1. While Microsoft has ended mainstream support for these operating systems, they are still technically supported and can be used to run Steam and other software.

Giving steam customers an advance warning is the least they can do. ![]() Would be good if someone here replies who is currently using steam on a computer that has Windows 8.1, or Vista. I wonder if Windows Vista would work on steam nowadays. Though because an increasing number of people are using Linux for games, hopefully we will start to see drivers and other things to improve gaming on Linux. And the lack of drivers for GPUs on Linux makes it worse. Did steam warn about XP no longer being supported? I actually have some games on a Linux computer, but not all games will work as well. You can still run many older games even on modern Windows systems and even Linux through WINE/Proton. Such a discontinuation is announced in advance. But always keep in mind it can happen at any time. Is there any info when Windows 7, Windows 8 and 8.1 will no longer supported by Steam? No. That update broke compatibility with an older OS like WindowsXP. ![]() The discontinuation of Windows XP support was mainly due to necessary updates to the Chromium Embedded Framework within the Steamclient. Windows 7 is also out of support by Microsoft and Steam still runs on it. Only 8.1 is still supported by Microsoft, until January 10th.
