Valve Just Released The Latest Steam Hardware / Software Survey Results In April 2022, Providing Linux Market Share In April And Other Interesting Indicators. The Figure For April 2022 Is Particularly Interesting Because It Is The Second Full Month Since Steam Deck Began Shipping And Production To Consumers. Valve Is Still Not Fully Aware Of How Steam Deck Will Be Treated (if Any) In The Steam Survey.
So Far, At Least In The Process Of Using Steam Deck, We Haven't Seen Any Prompt Of Steam Survey, Nor Any Change Of Survey Data Related To Steam Deck Software / Hardware.
Back In March 2022, Steam On Linux Reached 1.00%. There Was A 0.14% Increase In April 2022, Bringing It To 1.14% Now. The Proportion Of 1.14% Still Does Not Reach The High Point Of 2% Seen By Steam In The Early Days Of Linux, But Considering The Absolute Growth In The Number Of Global Computer Game Players Since Then, This Is Likely To Be A Peak In The Absolute Number Of Linux Games. Recently, Steam's Market Share On Linux Peaked At 1.16% In November.
Seeing An Increase Of 0.14% This Month May Indicate That Steam Deck / Steamos 3 Began To Be Tracked As Part Of The Survey, Because There Were No High-profile Linux Native Game Releases In The Past Month, Or There Were Other Direct Reasons For The Growth In Addition To The Overall Interest Brought By Steam Deck / Steamos. As For The Linux Distributions Reported In The Steam Survey, It Shows That Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS Is Still Ahead, With An Increase Of 0.03%, Arch Linux Increased By 0.02%, And Manjaro Linux Increased By 0.01%.
The Market Share Of Windows On Steam In The Past Month Was 96.31% And That Of MacOS Was 2.55%. According To The Survey Results From The Hardware Manufacturer Dimension, Intel Lost Another 0.54% CPU Market Share, Now 57.93%, amd Is 42.06%. In Contrast, The Results Of Steam Windows Platform Show That Intel's Market Share Is 68% And AMD's Is 31%.
