Steam has become the preferred video game platform for many Linux users. But not only from linuxeros but also from other platforms such as macOS and Windows. Despite having more video games than the penguin platform. This makes Valve, the company behind Steam, innovate and release not only video games but also hardware with which to finance this great gaming platform.
The latest news on Steam are related to the Steam client that users use to connect to the platformUntil now, the official Steam client used the 32-bit platform, so that all computers are compatible with Steam. Now that even the lightest distributions seem to be abandoning the 32-bit platform, Steam will also abandon this platform.
For the next few weeks Steam clients for the 64-bit platform will be available. The philosophy of Steam has always been to provide games to its users and in the case of the Steam client, the philosophy remains. A) Yes, there will only be a single Steam client, but this client will use the 64-bit version if it can, that is, we will not have to choose between two packages, there will only be a single Steam client installer.
The GNU / Linux platform will not be the only one to acquire this 64-bit version. MacOS and Apple will also have this version for their users and Windows will be no lessThis will be a problem for many who need the 32-bit platform, because after a while, this platform will be eliminated, but it will be a great advance for those of us who use the 64-bit platform, since it will be a burden and a better performance of the games, client and computer resources.
At the moment it is the only thing we know about the Steam client and the platform, but I highly doubt that it is the last we know of new from the platform. And you What do you think is the next Steam novelty?
