 <title>New Steam Games with Native Linux Builds, with TWIRL and Sensory Overload - 2026-08-26 Edition</title>
 <description>Between 2026-08-19 and 2026-08-26 there were 131 New Steam games released with Native Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 1051 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 12.5 % of total released titles. It’s worth checking T.W.I.R.L., an ASCII-art bullet-hell roguelike where your android companion carries persistent injury and trauma between runs. And there’s SENSORY OVERLOAD, a psychedelic dropper that ADHD and autistic players specifically report as inducing calm and focus despite being visually overwhelming. Full list below!</description>

 <description>Between 2026-08-15 and 2026-08-22 we selected 18 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. Two highlights for the past week, with How to Fish, a brilliant co-op chaotic that drives immediate fun and has great replay value. And there’s Twister Tower which can best be described as a a retro Bioshock set inside a Carnival. Full details below!</description>

 <title>New Steam Games Playable on the Steam Deck, with Servant of the Lake and Sandustry - 2026-08-15 Edition</title>
 <description>Between 2026-08-08 and 2026-08-15 we selected 6 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. No huge release but a lot of nice smaller games that make it for the end of the summer. I’d like to highlight Servant of the Lake, a new entry in the Rusty Lake series, with great puzzles and packing a good story and upgraded visuals. And there’s also Sandustry that takes the concept of Noita with pixel-based physics and adds automation on top of it. Here’s what we could find:</description>

 <title>Gambonanza: Review</title>
 <description>There are quite a few games inspired by Chess on Steam these days, most of them trying to turn the traditional 64 square games into something a bit more fun and approachable by adding timers or power-ups, and shit like that. I was caught off guard since I am a regular chess player and I was intrigued by Gambonanza, that takes the familiar chess pieces and their moves and put them in a totally different context with different victory conditions. In each level, you have to capture every single piece on increasingly chaotic boards while managing your boosts, bonuses and pieces that you collect in your reserve. The concept is simple: you’re playing chess, but the board starts tiny (roughly 4×6 tiles), pieces can literally fall off the edges if left unmoved too long (some tiles disappear after a while!), and victory means eliminating every enemy unit rather than checkmating a king.</description>

 <title>CachyOS is King Now, and the Distro World Settles</title>
 <description>Last time we had our regular checkpoint was in June 2026 and you may recall we observed that CachyOS was not only in the 1st spot on ProtonDB for desktop distros, but kept growing further, eating Arch Linux’s own share. So how have things changed since then? Before we take a look at the chart, the usual disclaimer that you love: - This may not be representative of all types of Linux users. I’m sure this is not what your AWS architect uses on EC2, nor what you installed for your grandmother to avoid being the IT troubleshooter in your family. - This may not be completely representative of all Linux gamers either. But I’d wage this is actually a good predictor where the market is going to shift. We saw first that Manjaro was getting the boot here first, before going under pretty much everywhere.</description>

 <title>New Steam Games Playable on the Steam Deck, with Iron Nest: Heavy Turret Simulator - 2026-08-08 Edition</title>
 <description>Between 2026-08-01 and 2026-08-08 we selected 8 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. The highlight is Iron Nest, that puts you in the middle of a huge turret capable of firing very large explosives. You get orders, and you need to adjust numerous parameters to hit the target with high accuracy. Very well done and unique in concept. Let’s not forget the new Stardew Valley clone, Fields of Mistria, that we already mentioned in our previous article about recently released games with native builds. Full details below!</description>

 <title>New Steam Games with Native Linux Builds, including Fields of Mistria - 2026-08-05 Edition</title>
 <description>Between 2026-07-29 and 2026-08-05 there were 138 New Steam games released with Native Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 926 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 14.9 % of total released titles. A high percentage, with the spiritual successor of Stardew Valley, Fields of Mistria - which has been very well received so far, apparently superior to its inspiration in almost every aspect.

 <title>New Steam Games Playable on the Steam Deck, with Sephiria and Kusan City of Wolves - 2026-08-01 Edition</title>
 <description>Between 2026-07-25 and 2026-08-01 we selected 16 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. A lot of titles in this weekm and I think you should check Sephiria, since it’s an action game that uses inventory management as a puzzle mechanic. It makes you optimize your build instead of simply stacking bonuses and boosts. And it looks very well made all around, too. Another one worth a mention is Kusan City of Wolves which is a new take on the hotline miami genre! Full details below.</description>

And there’s Tormentum II that lets you explore Giger-inspired nightmares with meaningful choices to make. Full list below!</description>

 <title>The Great Steam Deck Crash of 2026: Community Reactions</title>
 <description>Our recent article about the Steam Deck sales crash went kind of viral in the past week, and because of that there were long threads of discussions available across Reddit communities (r/linux_gaming, r/pcmasterrace, and r/SteamDeck at least) discussing the situation. I spent a lot of time reading the different takes, and I tought it would be a good idea to capture where people are regarding this matter. So, here’s a summary of the different types of takes.</description>

 <title>Celestial Return: Review</title>
 <description>Celestial Return promises a hard-boiled, cyberpunk and cosmic horror game. “Count me in” when I was offered a key by the publisher. But this review would have been cut a lot shorter if I had not waited a couple of weeks after the release. Now the game runs well on Linux and Steam Deck with Proton thanks to some recent updates from the devs. Celestial Return is a visual novel where you follow the footsteps of Howard, once part of an elite force that hunted beings called Abstracts, now just a private investigator. On the left side of the screen you read and interact with the overly descriptive story, and before the updates that would be mostly of what you would see. The game now plays a background video, and show some images as the story progress. They had encoded some videos with shady proprietary H.264 that would either stutter the game, or not load at all. That reminded me of the time I used Windows, and had to install some codec packs to be able to play this kind of stuff. Sadly, the Proton bundled with proprietary stuff did not work for me with this game. So I had to skip the animations, and played with black background most of the game. Because some videos would show, I pondered if the black was a design choice or just a bug. I imagine most of the problems with bugged save games, soft-locks (most of them the workaround was saving and reloading the game), clipped story and options not showing on the story box, and other technical stuff will eventually be solved. So let’s jump to the things that are not so easy to fix.</description>

 <title>New Steam Games Playable on the Steam Deck, with Scrap Mechanic and Dinoblade - 2026-07-25 Edition</title>
 <description>Between 2026-07-18 and 2026-07-25 we selected 9 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. A few horror games are of note, but the big title in this week is clearly Scrap Mechanic that’s now out of early access with the 1.0 Release. If it’s your first time hearing about it, it’s a multiplayer sandbox adventure game where you build stuff and fight a lot too. I’d like to also point out the release of Dinoblade which is as absurd as the name indicates: you play a dinosaur armed with a huge blade! Full details below.</description>

 <title>Valve Releases Proton 11</title>
 <description>It’s a piece of news that is a little bit late since we are covering a release that happened a few weeks ago in July 2026, that most people did not probably notice anyway as they were glued to the FIFA world cup. Now we are back in business and catching up on a few important news! The previous Proton release was Proton 10.0-3 back in November 2025, so it’s been more than half a year. So what does this Proton 11 bring on the table?</description>

For reference, during the same time, there were 770 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 14.3 % of total released titles. And it’s not just shovelware, there’s quite a few good title in this past week! I have a soft spot for Database Detective: Minor Crimes Division because it makes you solve crimes using the SQL language! Don’t miss Pathogenic as well where you infect the human body and fight the immune system. Full list below.</description>

 <title>The Great Steam Deck Crash of 2026: How The New Pricing Slashed Demand by 80%</title>
 <description>Following our recent article estimating the volume of Steam Machines currently sold on the market, I wanted to also go back to another very interesting piece of data and question: has the change of price of the Steam Deck in May 2026 had a big impact on the number of its sales? Not just in value, but in units sold? Turns out, we should be able to answer the question using a similar methodology and the weekly top sellers charts. This chart lists the ranking of all products according to their sales in total dollars, regardless of the software or hardware aspect. Throughout 2025, Valve’s Steam Deck maintained a steady presence in the top five positions of Steam’s Global Weekly Top Sellers chart. Week after week, the SteamOS powered handheld managed to stay around rank #4 or #5, hardly impacted by seasonality. If anything, it was propped up by specific times in the year, such as the pre-christmas season. In early 2026, it suffered some temporary availability issues because of key components preventing its full assembly. It came back at the end of May 2026, with fresh inventory and a fresh (or stinky, depending on your point of view) price as well. On May 27, 2026 Valve announced the pricing adjustment, framed internally as a response to the RAMpocalypse. This was a massive price hike across models, in the +40% range on OLED models, and getting rid of the cheaper LCD version altogether. Valve is not in the charity business anymore. Move away, peasants!</description>

 <title>New Steam Games Playable on the Steam Deck: Awesome week with The Mermaid Mask and Denshattack! - 2026-07-18 Edition</title>
 <description>Between 2026-07-11 and 2026-07-18 we selected 14 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. Looks like game devs have stopped watching the World Cup as most teams are out and finally decided to ship their games! A LOT of good stuff in this past week - and if I had to pick two, that would be The Mermaid Mask which is an awesome adventure game about solving a crime, and Denshattack! which is a crazy Japanese arcade game where you control a train that gives 90s vibes like very few do. Full list below!</description>

 <title>Steam Machine: Between 12k and 15k Sold per week</title>
 <description>Valve is a fairly secretive company when it comes to how they perform: they have never published quarterly hardware sales figures for its consumer devices. They don’t track them in press releases, they don’t have earnings calls since they remain a private company, and they don’t treat unit volume as a front and center KPI on the store. There is maybe one exception: a few years back, they did announce that they had sold 500k Steam controllers. That was actually just 10 years ago! At the same time, they do like to share a lot of data. They have hardware surveys, weekly best sellers, and also real-time revenue data: the Global Top Sellers chart. Because that chart ranks products by gross financial throughput rather than unit count, it creates a bias we can exploit to do some napkin math estimations. High-priced hardware requires significantly fewer transactions to occupy a higher chart position, compared to low-priced software or microtransaction-driven titles.</description>

We are still in the middle of summer so don’t expect a lot of big moves. We still get Palworld leaving Early Access with the 1.0, Verified for the Steam Deck. Let’s not forget Cat Mail Co., a game about a cat delivering parcels, with a story told through the packages you deliver. More details below.</description>

For reference, during the same time, there were 393 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 12 % of total released titles. It’s the middle of summer, nobody’s home, and if you are it’s too hot to play next to your PC anyway, unless you live in Kangarooland. A lot of shovelware, very little to talk about. We have Cosmodrill and Xegrader Plus and that’s it! The good thing is that it won’t take you long to go through the list this time.</description>

 <title>Paranormasight: the Sequel's Curse</title>
 <description>Just a few months back, I was talking with one of my friends about Paranormasight:The Seven Mysteries of Honjo - ecstatic again about how brilliant it was. I was wondering what the developers would be working on afterwards. In the course of our conversation, I however shared one of my deepest concerns: “I sure hope they don’t make a sequel”. In case you are not familiar with Paranormasight (what? living under a rock?), the game is basically a visual novel with branching story elements, where you play different characters across different story paths. It stood out from the rest by a super solid story without hours of fluff, excellent characters and writing, and an execution that has no match (graphics and music). The perfect storm, if you wish. Where was I? Ah yes. back to the story about my friend. A few weeks later after our initial conversation, I get an email from him. With a link? What’s in there? The upcoming release of Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse… I have to admit, it made me feel uneasy about the existence of a sequel. In the end, the TLDR is: it’s not as bad as I feared.</description>

For reference, during the same time, there were 823 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 13.1 % of total released titles. In that week there’s not a lot of stuff to keep, but Nophenia is a cool walking simulator inside dreams. I also like the retro arcade gameplay of Buscraper. Here’s the whole list.</description>

 <title>Huntdown: Overtime - Review</title>
 <description>Ok now this is a sequel to Huntdown, that I already had in my library but barely played before. I guess I have to start with the sequel! Huntdown overtime puts you in the shoes or some kind of super bionic cop, who’s been resurrected to fight crime and kill bad guys. Any resemblance to Robocop or other 80s movies is NOT a coincidence, the game is constantly making references to 80s era.</description>

 <description>Between 2026-06-20 and 2026-06-27 we selected 10 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. For some reason a lot of games about cleaning these days??! Sandy Beach Cleaner? Cozy cleaner ? Moldwasher? What’s going on? In any case, the game of the week on the Steam Deck is Fish where you play a fish armed with a gun. Enough said. There’s also a nice puzzle game called Dimhaven.</description>

 <title>New Steam Games with Native Linux Builds, including Cozy Cleaner - 2026-06-24 Edition</title>
 <description>Between 2026-06-17 and 2026-06-24 there were 103 New Steam games released with Native Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 807 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 12.8 % of total released titles. Here’s a quick pick of the most interesting ones. Despite the positive numbers it’s a week full of shovelware. Maybe serious game devs are busy watching the FIFA world cup instead of finishing their games? Anyway, it’s not all bad. There’s Cozy Cleaner, which gives you the chance to clean up virtual rooms instead of your own. So that you can feel the satisfaction of getting things done, without taking care of your mess. Win-Win!? Here is the full list below. Have a look.</description>

 <title>Radxa Orion O6N Review: The Powerful and Silent ARM64 Beast</title>
 <description>So we had the chance to review the OrangePi 6 Plus a few months back, equipped by the very impressive CIX P1 SOC, developed on a 6nm process. It also features a very decent integrated GPU, the Mali-G720-Immortalis. And turns out that OrangePi is not the only company that has access to this hardware - Radxa has also developed 2 boards using this SOC, and their newer, and smaller board, the Orion O6N, is a good option to consider.</description>

 <title>The Steam Machine Launches: King of Bad Value</title>
 <description>It was already official that Valve employees had lost their marbles when they massively priced the Steam Deck up not too long ago. Now we know for sure it was not an isolated accident and they have lost complete touch with reality. Have they hired too many ex-Apple employees? Who knows? In any case, they seriously believe they can sell obsolete hardware at premiumn pricing (more than 1000 dollars) just because they slap a Steam sticker on it. At this pricing and for the performance this delivers, there’s no way they are going to sell many of those. These are specs of the new Steam Machine: - CPU: AMD Zen 4 (6 cores / 12 threads, 30W TDP) - GPU: Custom AMD RDNA 3 Laptop Chip (8GB GDDR6 VRAM, 110W TDP, 28 Ray-tracing cores)</description>

 <title>New Steam Games Playable on the Steam Deck, with Voidling Bound and Unrailed 2 - 2026-06-13 Edition</title>
 <description>Between 2026-06-06 and 2026-06-13 we selected 14 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. That was a good week if you like taming creatures and making them fight (any similarity with an existing game is pure fiction!), as Voidling Bound seems to bring together successfully 3rd person action RPG with creatures management. They got many things right, except the name of the game, I guess. On the opposite end of the spectrum of unoriginal game titles, Unrailed is back and it’s called… (suspense)… Unrailed 2! Still the same formula, and more fun in multiplayer to build a path while racing against the clock. The whole list is right below.</description>

 <title>Sol Cesto: Rescuing the Sun - Review</title>
 <description>There are quite a few gems out there when it comes to roguelite games, and from now on we need to add Sol Cesto to the list. The concept is dead simple: the sun has disappeared, and the world has plunged into darkness. The sunlight has been captured by an underground den of monsters, and your role, as a hero raising to the challenge, is to make it to the bottom of that deadly pit to rescue the sun to save humanity. Regular daily quest, right?</description>

 <title>New Steam Games Playable on the Steam Deck - 2026-06-06 Edition</title>
 <description>Between 2026-05-30 and 2026-06-06 we selected 8 newly released games that are rated as Verified or Playable on the Steam Deck, and meeting specific criteria in terms of user ratings. This is rather weak line-up this time. Of course there’s Sodaman that we have already mentioned in the our weekly list of worthy games with Linux builds, but let me mention The 7th Guest Remake which sees the old CD-ROM classic make a come back with modern graphics. If anything, this seems like a great conversion of the older title - not game of the year material, for sure, but a good puzzle game that’s somewhat unusual compared to modern ones. Now on the whole list.</description>

 <title>New Steam Games with Native Linux Builds, including Sodaman - 2026-06-03 Edition</title>
 <description>Between 2026-05-27 and 2026-06-03 there were 90 New Steam games released with Native Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 735 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 12.2 % of total released titles, which is slightly more than usual. In this week we should definitely mention Sodaman, which is an intersection between vampire survivors and the bullet hell shooter genre, which seems very effective. But there’s more if you like the factory-building business, the survival roguelike, racing, or puzzle games. Check the whole list!</description>

 <title>Tidal Wave: CachyOS is now Bigger than Arch Linux Ever Was!</title>
 <description>Last time we had our regular checkpoint was in march 2026 and you may recall that it was the first time that CachyOS had taken over the 1st spot on ProtonDB for desktop distros, ahead of Arch Linux. Well, taking the first spot is one thing, but CachyOS has brokend another record, by becoming now bigger in distro share on ProtonDB than Arch Linux ever was. Before we take a look at the chart, the usual disclaimer that you love: - This may not be representative of all types of Linux users. I’m sure this is not what your AWS architect uses on EC2, nor what you installed for your grandmother to avoid being the IT troubleshooter in your family. - This may not be completely representative of all Linux gamers either. But I’d wage this is actually a good predictor where the market is going to shift. We saw first that Manjaro was getting the boot here first, before going under pretty much everywhere.</description>
