A community of gamers continues to support legacy platforms despite Steam discontinuing support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. Eazy Black has unofficially ported the latest Steam Client Beta (from December 4, 2025) to these unsupported operating systems, particularly effective on 64-bit versions of Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 and Windows 8.x. Recommended updates for optimal performance include KB976932, KB2999226, and either KB3080149 or KB4474419. Windows 7 users now represent 0.05% of the gaming community on Steam, while Windows 11 has a 69.2% market share, and 30.66% of Steam users remain on Windows 10, reflecting a 2.17% decline from the previous month.
