Steam Hardware & Software Survey

 

[killatopak]

Valve unlocked the 1%

 

[Magic Carpet]

Russian was 3rd, They are the most vocal group when a game does not support it's language.

I did not have my Quest 3 connected to the PC when the survey came up so it thinks I don't have any VR. I thought that was a bit messed up.

tencent will be one of steam major shaholder in the future.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Interesting that so many people still haven't upgraded to windows 11.

 

[Zathalus]

The popularity of PC in China vs consoles is a large reason for the explosive growth of Steam.

 

[Midn1ght]

Nice.

Valve is a private company

tencent will be one of steam major shaholder in the future.

Very unlikely unless Valve goes public and starts trading.

And younger people jumping in. Anecdotal evidence in my bubble up in the viking region, by looking at friends, kids, the kids friends, coworkers I see PC gaming growing among younger people, 10-30 yo. I rarely hear talk about consoles, there is some talk about sports games but that’s about it, and Zelda. Lots of multiplayer and co-op games are played.

the invasion of cheaters!

 

[DaGwaphics]

Interesting that so many people still haven't upgraded to windows 11.

Probably still a good number 4000-7000 series Intel chips out there that don't have the TPM module built in combined with MBs that either don't support an onboard module or don't have it installed.

Unlikely, but possible. Epic is also private and Tencent owns 40%. Epic sold to Tencent to partner in making Fornite a big Gaas success. I don't see a similar scenario playing out with Valve.

 

[Celcius]

Interesting to see twice as many Intel cpu users as AMD, despite all the memes about Intel heat and power consumption.

I just don't like its UI.
Other than UI I see no benefit giving away Win10. Does it really improves gaming performance? I doubt it.

 

[Elysium44]

Interesting to see twice as many Intel cpu users as AMD, despite all the memes about Intel heat and power consumption.

Unless we know the age of CPU which I don't think the survey reveals, I bet a lot of people like myself are still on 10th gen or older which was before the power consumption and heat became sharply higher.

It's more complicated than that. PC has always been predominant in Chinese gaming market.

It's more because accessibility of Steam and its regional price policy.

 

[crazepharmacist]

The popularity of PC in China vs consoles is a large reason for the explosive growth of Steam.

And also the explosive growth in cheating/hacks.

Perhaps so. I'm still on Intel 10th gen myself.
