Steam’s Hardware and Software Survey is in for November 2025, and it’s no surprise to see Windows 11 gain users here, as Windows 10 recently reached end of life, forcing many users to upgrade. This led to a 2% increase in Windows 11 users on Steam.
Windows 11 is not the only OS to see a bump, as Linux also saw a 0.15% rise in users.
This follows Linux finally cracking 3 percent of Steam users in October 2025, now sitting at 3.20% overall. It still has a long way to go, as Windows controls 94.79% of Steam’s user base, with 65.59% now running Windows 11.
