Slow and steady wins the race, most of the time at least. This seems to be the philosophy at play here for Windows 11, which has finally crossed the 20% market share mark over at Steam.
This is after being stuck at 19% in May and getting awfully close in June.
The operating system recently reached the coveted broad availability phase, which means it is now available for all eligible devices. As a result, Windows 11 can now be installed on any computer that meets the updated system requirements.
So, it comes as no surprise that the adoption of the OS is currently on the rise.
New statistics provided by Valve for its gaming platform show that while Windows 10 continues to be the preferred choice for the vast majority of users, the latest and greatest Windows 11 is also gaining a standing among gamers.
It continued to grow, increasing 1.64% last month. That’s easily millions of new users, considering Steam has 120 million monthly active users.
On the whole, Windows 11 is now good for 21.23% of Windows computers where Steam is installed.
The 64-bit version of Windows 10, meanwhile, powers at least 71.26% of such devices. This data actually witnessed a drop of 2.63%, the reason being that more and more of these users are upgrading to Windows 11.
Overall, Windows has more than 96% to its name, with macOS being the runner-up with just 2.45%.
Things couldn’t be better!
