There are now more VR gamers on Steam than Linux gamers

2019 continues to prove to be the biggest year in VR's history, and one Twitter user pointed out that VR recently passed a rather interesting set of milestones. Windows has long been the OS of choice for PC gamers on Steam, with MacOS and Linux trailing far behind. While there has been an ebb and flow in the number of users on each of these platforms, VR has continued to grow and now sports double the number of users of Linux and nearly as many as MacOS. Before we get too far into the numbers though, it's worth noting that the Steam monthly hardware survey is an optional survey that's sent out to a random pool of users, and participation in the survey is anonymous. This optional nature means there's always going to be a percentage of gamers that don't respond or who don't fill out all the fields. The random nature also means that the data generated is not a completely accurate look at the entire pool of active Steam gamers.
