Microsoft long ago announced that the Xbox and its video game platform would be installed on Windows 10 and the Microsoft Store. Something that makes Windows the best operating system in terms of video games. Faced with this, it seemed that services like Steam had little to doHowever, reports from last year indicate the opposite.
Apparently users who use this platform come mainly from Windows and not from Linux or Mac. Something that has attracted a lot of attention and that it seems that will continue during this just begun 2017.
More than half of the users who use Steam come from Windows 10, then, in terms of operating systems It is followed by Windows 7 and Windows 8 / 8.1 with more than 40% of users and finally there would be the users of Mac OS and Linux that would represent, in total, 4% (approximately).
Users who use Steam on any version of Windows exceed 90%
And not only this, in The report more or less the hardware most used with this platform is indicated, that is, the average equipment that the players of the Steam platform have. The Average computer like this would have 8 Gb of ram memory and an Nvidia graphic, the GeForce GTX 970 model with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Steam in a video game platform that uses a model similar to SpotifyThis means that we pay for a video game that we play through your application. This allows us to play without looking at the platform and sometimes at the hardware, which does not seem to matter much to its users since in the end they use it in the latest Windows with the latest hardware available.
Also is true that Xbox platform is not up to speed, but something tells me that such a situation is key to the success of Steam and that it seems that we have a new fixed program within our team, don't you think?
