System requirements

  • macos: A currently supported 64-bit macOS release. On Apple Silicon, Valve's current website DMG is an Intel-only bootstrapper and needs Rosetta for the first launch; after updating, the current stable client is Universal and can run natively on Apple Silicon.
  • windows: 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11. Valve ended Steam Client support for 32-bit Windows on January 1, 2026.
  • linux: A supported 64-bit Linux distribution with the libraries required by the current Steam client.

Does Steam have an Android app or APK?

No verified Android app or APK in the catalog. Steam does not have a verified Android app, Google Play listing, or official APK in the What-Version catalog. Desktop installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux will not run on Android.

Open official Steam website

For APK searches, prefer vendor-owned pages, Google Play, F-Droid, GitHub releases, or documentation explicitly linked by the project.

Frequently asked questions

What is the latest Steam desktop version?

Steam is a rolling-release client that updates itself. Valve publishes dated stable client update notes rather than maintaining one long-lived public version number across every platform.

Which Steam installer should I download?

Use SteamSetup.exe for 64-bit Windows, steam.dmg for a supported Mac, or Valve's Debian package for compatible 64-bit Linux systems. Valve offers one Mac DMG; it starts as an Intel-only bootstrapper and updates itself to the current stable Universal client.

Does Steam still support 32-bit Windows?

No. Valve ended Steam Client support for Windows 10 32-bit on January 1, 2026. The 64-bit client can still run supported 32-bit games on 64-bit Windows.

Does Steam need Rosetta on Apple Silicon?

A fresh installation currently does. Valve's website DMG contains an Intel-only bootstrapper, so macOS asks to install Rosetta on an Apple Silicon Mac. That does not mean you downloaded the wrong file: after the first update, Valve's current stable Steam executable and core client components are Universal binaries with native arm64 support. Individual games may still have their own Rosetta requirements.
