More Linux games have been discounted on Steam

The Steam Monster Summer Sale continues, and today we have yet another batch of great Linux titles that are just waiting to get a buyer. The sale will continue until June 18, and each day will bring us new discounts.

The latest Steam sale from Valve is a very generous one, and it looks like Linux users will be able to pick up some awesome titles at ridiculous prices, but that was to be expected. Now, one in five games on Steam has Linux support, so it's more than likely that you'll find something to like and buy. We'll take a look at some of today's offerings, but please keep in mind that you have less than 10 hours to decide what you want.

It's also worth pointing out that some of the discounted titles are actually gathered into one collection, like Civilization, for example. After so many sales, it's hard to imagine that most Linux players don't yet have Civilization V in their library, which is still one of the most played titles on the platform, but not everyone has the myriad of DLCs that have been made available over time.

Most games in today's sale have Linux support

We've already said that one in five games has Linux support, but it's also true that the Linux support has been added mostly for newer titles, and those games are more likely to get discounted. That's why the percentage of Linux support in the Steam sale is actually much bigger than 20%.

"Along with the sale is the Monster Summer Game. Join a game and fight the enemy monsters as you help your team level up, unlock new abilities, and achieve community milestones. Plus, get Summer Sale Trading Cards just for playing. With your help, players of the Monster Game can work together to unlock special discounts on select games" is noted in the official announcement.

The games in today's sale that have Linux support are Left 4 Dead 2, Transistor, The Banner Saga, Insurgency, Game Dev Tycoon, Grim Fandango Remastered, Endless Legend, and the Civilization franchise, with the exception of Sid Meier's Civilization® III Complete and CivCity: Rome.
