CTOnews.com March 8 news, "League of Legends" officially announced in the update announcement released today: from April 4, 2023, LOL will no longer support 32-bit Windows operating system. After that, "League of Legends" and "Genting Game" need 64-bit Windows to play.

Officials say 99.9% of LOL players currently use 64-bit operating systems. It takes a lot of effort to maintain and adapt these old systems while updating the version. Therefore, it is officially decided that LOL will no longer support 32-bit operating systems after the update of version 13.7.

At the same time, officials also stressed that for players currently using the 64-bit Windows operating system, this change will not have any impact on them, they can still play the game as usual. However, players of the 32-bit operating system will receive a reminder that the game no longer supports the system after the 13.7 version is updated.

CTOnews.com translated the original text as follows:

Support for the 32-bit Windows operating system will be retired on April 4, 2023. After this date, a 64-bit version of Windows will be required to play League of Legends and Genting. For more information, please refer to our minimum specifications.

"what does this mean?", "what do I need to do?!"

For those players who already use 64-bit operating systems and hardware (99.9%), you won't notice any difference when we stop supporting 32-bit, you don't have to do anything. However, for those who play games on 32-bit systems, starting with 13.7, you will begin to receive a message on the client telling you that the client may stop working in the future. We will set aside some time to remind you before we completely stop supporting 32-bit systems in patch instructions and launchers, but in the future, you will need to use 64-bit hardware and 64-bit operating systems to continue to play "League of Legends".

Why would you do that?

Like other decisions we've made in the past, such as abandoning XP and Vista and maintaining old hardware while continuing to publish new content, it requires a lot of investment from a development and testing perspective. By abandoning this baggage, we can continue to bring new features while providing an attractive gaming experience. Although we do not have any direct target improvements for this migration, it will be part of our continued investment in the future of "League of Legends".
