Valve has previously said that 32-bit Windows installations represent around 0.01% of active Steam systems.

I feel like it’s fair to sunset 32-bit Windows support if this segment represents 0.01% of your installed base

If they’re willing to issue refunds for all games bought for 32bit.

Are there any games that won’t work on 64bit?

Guessing or do you have some edge case to present? Last I tried portal 2 ran fine on 64bit system. In fact I’m not entirely use I have ever actually ran it on 32bit one.

Guessing. To my limited understanding it relies on 32bit OpenGL drivers. Or later they made vulkan support, but that needs to be enabled via custom launch option “-vulkan”
