With today’s Steam Client stable update, Valve brings support for shipping different binaries to 64-bit versus 32-bit operating systems via the built-in updater in preparation for future updates, which could signal a native 64-bit Steam for Linux client might be on the way. However, considering the fact that Valve did release a native 64-bit Steam for Mac client only a two months ago, and judging by the changes it implemented in this new stable update, one can only dream of a native 64-bit Steam for Linux client, so fingers crossed.
