On January 1, 2019 will take the step, but for when Windows 7?

If you have a vintage computer or, simply, you are nostalgic for Windows XP or ... some poor devils who still use Windows Vista , you should keep in mind the news that we bring to you. Valve announced this week that on January 1, 2019 will stop offering Steam services on Windows XP and Vista operating systems. No, we are not saying that Steam will stop receiving updates: Steam will stop working completely.

So far, Steam had been more than generous in offering support for legacy operating systems - much more than other platforms, in fact - but Valve says the platform has to go ahead, and that new features depend on features that they can not offer. those operating systems. To go literally, we quote the original source: "The new features of Steam depend on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer works on older versions of Windows, and the next versions of Steam will require features and security updates. that are only present in Windows 7 and later. "

If you accompany us to see the Steam's Hardware and Software Survey you will see that only 0.23% of Steam users use Windows XP in its 32-bit version, so the rest of the users that would be affected will be between the percentage of "Others". Recall that Microsoft withdrew XP in 2014 and that Vista does not have security support since 2017. The issue now is to keep in mind that in a while it will be Windows 7 that we will talk about. The support for this OS ended in 2014 and the end of security support is scheduled for 2020. Do not be in a hurry, Windows 10 has its things and sometimes it makes you want to send it to hell, but if you want to continue playing on Steam, keep in mind that sooner or later you will have to go through the hoop.
