- The Steamos de Valve market share has grown by 0.32%, based on a new Steam Hardware and Software Survey
- Microsoft’s Windows 11 market share fell by 0.44%, suggesting that players are migrating to Steamos
- These results are produced just before Microsoft’s new ‘full -screen experience’ for the Xbox PC application
Microsoft Windows 11 is about to receive significant updates that lead to 2026, specifically for players with their new Xbox PC application ‘full -screen experience’. However, it seems that the Linux -based operating system of Valve is gradually taking the front as the best operating system for the games.
As reported by Tweaktown, the results of the Julio 2025 hardware and software survey suggest that players are changing to Valve’s Steamos de Microsoft’s Windows 11, with a growth of 0.32% in Linux market share, while the Windows 11 market share fell by 0.44%.
Tweaktown emphasizes that the 2.89% Linux operating market share is equivalent to about four million players of the 132 million Steam users, so growth is quite significant. It can also be a great indication of how popular the hand games have become since Valve introduced their steam dealer in 2022, if most of these results come from hand players.
It is quite clear that Valve’s vapor still have a long way to go in terms of user counting compared to Windows 11, but the Linux operating system has already overcome Windows in terms of game performance, accessibility and features.
It is also worth noting that both Valve and Microsoft have promised commitments to improve their respective operating systems. The first plans to expand the compatibility of Steam we with other hand -handed computers, while Microsoft is providing a ‘full -screen experience’ to hand computers, debuting in the ally of Rog Xbox.
Analysis: I doubt that the new Xbox PC application ‘full -screen experience’ Verify the impulse of Steamos
As I said before, it is very difficult for me to see how the next experience of the Microsoft Xbox PC application will move me away from the steam, because the latter has simply won me (at least with hand hand).
I will not say that Microsoft does not have any opportunity, and I will certainly see it once available, but I think the stage is ready for Valve to take the initiative when it comes to PC games.
The tools at my disposal while using Bazzite (a stem clone) are excellent for the customization of the user interface, and perhaps the most important thing, the performance of the game improved with Dicky Framegen and the scale without loss without loss, all through Dicky Loader.
Of course, there are certainly equivalent tools in Windows 11, but navigation and retouching in this operating system, especially With a hand computer, it is something I don’t want to deal with anymore. That is why this ‘full -screen experience’ sounds promising, since it sounds like an equivalent to the game mode of Steamos.
Microsoft’s new efforts to improve the games in their operating system are very welcome and appreciated, and I think it will attract many players once you throw themselves with Rog Xbox’s ally, but in general, I suspect that it will not verify the impulse of Steamos.
