Steam Survey is never very reliable. They often have weird OS/Hardware stats, like GPU model etc.

This specific issue, "the dramatic change of Chinese user" also has happened multiple times in recent years.

I just had a glance at this newest report, https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Softw...

In the very first item, it shows "Windows 11 64 bit 22.41% (change: -9.65%)"

This obviously doesn't make any sense. It either suffers from small sample size, or a skewed one.

My guess is Valve probably failed to deliver the surveys to players in an uniform, representative fashion.

Either way, don't take it seriously.




is it possible to correct the data using kpi's from steamcharts?
