According to TechNewsSpace, the latest announcement from Epic Games Store says that this service will stop supporting old operating systems such as Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 32-bit starting in June 6.2024.
This means that the Epic Games Launcher (EGS) application on these operating systems will no longer receive new updates. However, users can still use EGS to play games after the above deadline, but Epic Games notes that people will no longer be officially supported by the company.
The gaming company also warned that it may stop providing technical support to users using these operating systems. As a result, EGS functionality on older systems may degrade or stop working over time.
Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 32-bit are about to be discontinued by Epic
Epic Games Store's discontinuation of support for older operating systems is a follow-up move following Valve's similar decision regarding Steam. On January 1.1.2024, 7, Steam discontinued support for Windows 8, 8.1, and XNUMX, leaving users on these operating systems unable to launch the Steam app and access their game libraries.
This is an inevitable trend in the gaming industry as developers focus on supporting newer operating systems to ensure performance and security for users. Therefore, Windows 7, 8 and Windows 10 32-bit users should consider upgrading to the newer operating system to continue using EGS and other gaming services smoothly and safely.
Additionally, users can also refer to alternative solutions such as using a web browser to access the Epic Games Store or installing an older version of EGS. However, these solutions may not be fully supported and may have some functional limitations.
