Arr matey! The Epic Games Store be offerin' a fine treasure for ye PC gamers lookin' to upgrade from Windows 7 or 8. Aye, 'tis a fine opportunity to set sail towards new adventures on the high seas of technology!
The Epic Games Store be following in the footsteps of Steam by no longer supporting Microsoft's older desktop operating systems before Windows 10. However, this change won't take effect until June 2024. Epic Games announced that support for Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 32-bit will cease at that time. Moving forward, the only supported operating systems will be Windows 10 64-bit and Windows 11, as well as macOS version 10.13 or newer.While this may disappoint a small group of gamers, it's important to upgrade to a supported operating system to avoid potential vulnerabilities and functionality issues. Continuing to use outdated systems like Windows 7 or 8 could expose users to security risks. Whether it's upgrading to Windows 10 or Windows 11, or exploring Linux distros as an alternative, the time for a change is now. Windows 10 32-bit users, while still supported by Microsoft, are a dwindling minority in the gaming community.So, keep an eye on the calendar and make sure to update your operating system before June 2024 to continue enjoying the Epic Games Store without any interruptions.
