One-third of Steam users run Windows 10

Valve updated its Hardware & Software Survey today for January, revealing that more than one in every three gamers on its Steam PC gaming community and store is now using Windows 10. The latest and greatest from Microsoft may have just passed 11 percent market share, but gamers tend to be early adopters: on Steam the figure is already at 34 percent.

In its first month, Windows 10 adoption on Steam passed Windows 8, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Mac OS X, and Linux. After two months, Windows 8.1 was also conquered, leaving just Windows 7. Six months in, Windows 10 is getting very close to dethroning the top dog.
