A 64-bit GNU/Hurd is also coming soon! Hurd developers ported GNUMach to
64-bit some time ago. Then they started making significant progress
on the x86_64 userland port in Feb 2023. As of May 2023, the 64-bit
-port works well enough to start all the essential Hurd servers and run
-/bin/sh. We are currently building 64-bit packages. We plan on
-supporting both a 32-bit and 64-bit Debian GNU/Hurd, only not both at the same
-time. However, there is no plan to fix the year 2038 concern on a 32-bit
-system.

That being said, you can always run a 32-bit version on a 64-bit machine, it
just works, processes are just limited to a couple GiB available memory.
