2026年3月，Steam在Linux上的用户份额大幅增长，达到创纪录的5.33%——是macOS (2.35%)的两倍以上，比2月增长了3.1%。此前，Steam在Linux上的增长缓慢，之前在2025年底达到约3.5%的峰值。此次增长与Valve Steam China数据的修正同时发生，显示简体中文用户大幅下降，而英语使用量有所增加。目前，约25%的Linux玩家使用Steam OS。值得注意的是，Windows市场份额下降了4.28%，降至92.33%。AMD CPU在Linux Steam用户中仍然占据主导地位，接近70%，这可能是由于Steam Deck的AMD硬件以及AMD产品与Linux的开源兼容性所致。这些数据突显了Linux游戏在Steam生态系统内日益增长的趋势。

一份最新报告显示，Steam上Linux的使用率在三月份显著跃升，超过5%。然而，Hacker News上的评论员建议在解读这些数据时要谨慎。一位用户指出，Steam硬件调查的数据常常不可靠，因为存在修正——例如最近对Steam中国数据的31.85%调整——以及调查方法中潜在的偏差。这些修正也引发了对过去数据的准确性的质疑。尽管存在这些担忧，一些人仍然认为这种增长是积极的。一位用户在反对Windows 11中不需要的功能和数据收集后，转而使用Linux (*buntu*)，并发现Steam的集成非常出色。另一位用户指出，Linux代表了微软不断发展的Windows操作系统的关键替代方案。最终，虽然这种增长值得注意，但Linux游戏采用的真实程度仍然难以准确评估。

If Valve's latest Steam Survey monthly figures are accurate, Steam on Linux enjoyed a very wild month of March. Steam on Linux is now above the 5% threshold and more than twice the size of the Steam on macOS marketshare.

Steam on Linux ended 2025 at around a 3.5% marketshare, dipped a bit in January, and fell to 2.23% in February. That's still much better than several years ago in the pre-Steam-Deck days when Steam on Linux was at around 1%. In absolute terms with the continued growth of the Steam user base, 2~3% was rather healthy considering all of its bumps over the past decade.

But Valve just published the Steam Survey results for March 2026 and they have never been so incredible for Linux... 5.33%! Steam on Linux was never above 5% and easily an all-time high for the Linux gaming marketshare, especially in absolute numbers. It was a massive 3.1% spike in March while macOS also jumped surprisinfly by 1.19% to 2.35%. The Steam Survey numbers show Windows losing 4.28%, down to 92.33%.

Part of the jump at least appears to be explained by Valve correcting again the Steam China numbers. Month over month they report a 31.85% drop to the Simplified Chinese language use and English use increasing by 16.82% to 39.09%. Other languages also showed gains amid the massive decline in Simplified Chinese use.

The latest numbers for March show around a quarter of the Linux gamers are running Steam OS.

Steam OS at 25%

Due in part to the Steam Deck APU being a custom AMD product and the popularity of AMD hardware on Linux for its open-source nature, AMD CPU use by Steam on Linux gamers remains just under 70%.
