Although it seems Windows 11 expansion is not progressing as fast as expected, is currently experiencing little stagnation, it seems that the jump is gradually making more and more users. At least that’s what the latest Steam survey shows, in which the new operating system is still growing steadily.

For years, Steam has conducted a monthly survey to gather data on the type of hardware and software used by its users, sharing truly useful information in analyzing the technologies and products present to the gaming community.

This is shown by the latest data shared in this April survey of Steam Windows 11 grew again by 2.06% during that first month of the second trimester, almost 19% market share (with 18.94%) in favor of other versions of Windows. Meanwhile, macOS and Linux saw a small increase, remaining roughly the same and still very low, with 2.55% and 1.14% respectively.

And that’s right, though Windows holds an overwhelmingly dominant position on SteamThe 64-bit version of Windows 10, with no less than 96.31% (-0.26% in April 2022), remains the most popular option, occupying 73.55% of the computers on the list. a small decrease of -1.14% during this month. However, it is surprising that despite the continuing regular decline, there will still be computers with a 64-bit version of Windows 7, which remains in third place with a share of 2.93%.

However, the growth of Windows 11 among Steam users compared to the stagnation of the rest of the consumer users seems somewhat more justified, as players can find some hardware features and optimizations in the new operating system.
