The Linux Games Available on Steam

SHARE: Tweet Adjust text size:
- Steam for Linux
The Beta version of Steam for Linux was announced last evening, November 6, by Valve, only for the Ubuntu operating system. At the moment, Steam for Linux comes with 24 games, so we thought it would be a good idea to list them in an article. Without further ado, here are the Linux games made available in Steam for Linux (you can click on each one to see its description, screenshots and gameplay video): • Unity of Command: Stalingrad Campaign • Team Fortress 2 • The Book of Unwritten Tales • Amnesia: The Dark Descent • World of Goo • Trine 2 • Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP • Dynamite Jack • Frozen Synapse • SpaceChem • Waveform • Darwinia • Dungeons of Dredmor • Serious Sam 3: BFE • Cubemen • Aquaria • Solar 2 • Space Pirates and Zombies • Steel Storm: Burning Retribution • eversion • Uplink • Galcon Fusion • And Yet It Moves • Cogs • Uplink/Darwinia Pack When more games are available on Steam for Linux, we will announce them on our Linux section, here at Softpedia!

Probably the new version, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive :) We will inform people when it's available on Steam!

Also waiting for CS. Although, i'm sure we will see it in the future since I read that they are working on other Source games for Linux Steam.

Those are the user's games aka your Steam library, which includes all the games bought via Steam (some of them are for other operating systems).

I thoughtt I read somewhere that Left4Dead was ported to Linux... Maybe just in my fantasies.

Comment #4.1 by: Maxi2702 on 09 Nov 2012, 04:48 GMT

Yes, but this is only the closed beta, no all the games all avaliable yet...

Instead of more games, how about another platform: Fedora?

Comment #5.1 by: baracuda on 12 Nov 2012, 02:10 GMT

Give it time...eventually it will probably get ported... They need to start somewhere...I hear Arch users are attempting to use it.
