  • The 32-bit version of Steam works, so they’ve not bothered to compile 64-bit binaries for 64-bit versions of Windows and Linux. There’s already a mechanism in the Steam client updater for delivering different binaries depending on version of the OS and 32/64 bit, take a look at the client manifest and note the variations of “bins_cef_win32” for “win10-64”, “win7”, etc. So, it wouldn’t be a lot of work to distribute 64-bit versions of the other Steam client binaries because they could use the same mechanism to deliver them.
