Last July we saw that Windows 11 was on the verge of surpassing Windows 10 on Steam. The difference between the two was minimal as the former had a share of 46.63% and the latter reached 49.42%. The difference was just over 3% in favor of the latter, and it looked like we might find ourselves with a win for Windows 11 in two or three months.

In the end it won’t be. The latest results of Steam’s monthly survey reflect that Windows 10 has managed to regain market share, and it seems evident that this has come at the expense of Windows 11, as the former grew by 0.74% to take overall share 50.16%while the latter fell by 0.82% and retained its market share 45.81%.

It is true that both operating systems They are still quite close.but this difference will no longer be something that can be resolved in a few months, unless there are very significant changes, something that is not usually common, much less when there is still more than a year left in the official proceedings. Windows 10 support.

Users like Windows 10 more and more

And I don’t think Windows 11 will start to make a noticeable comeback in market share until we’re really close to the end of support for Windows 10, which is marked as October 2025. From this date, a more significant departure from the mentioned operating system can be expected, although I believe that in this case the process will be even slower than it was with Windows 7.

Looking at the survey results at the hardware level, we don’t see any major changes. The most used graphics card remains the GeForce RTX 3060 with 5.71%, NVIDIA occupies the first 15 positions in this category, a dominance that is only temporarily disturbed by Radeon and Intel integrated GPUs. The AMD dedicated graphics cards with the highest share are Radeon RX 580 and Radeon RX 6600, which occupy positions 34 and 35, respectively.

Intel continues to dominate the processor category share 66.63% compared to AMD’s 33.37% and most processors used have at least six cores (32.86%). 57.28% of Steam users play at 1080p, which is the majority resolution, 35.44% have a graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and 45.93% have a computer with 16GB of RAM.

There is no important change on the hardware level, and I think we will see it only with the arrival of a new generation of consoles, which drives the development of new games with greater demands on the hardware level. That’s still a few years away, so a 6-core CPU and 16GB of RAM They have a life for a while.
