By

Between 2026-03-25 and 2026-04-01 there were 66 New Steam games released with Native Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 558 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 11.8 % of total released titles. There’s the sequel of the old yet excellent Sprintrunners called Sprint City that’s out! And in a completely different genre, you get Lakehopper that turns you in the role of boih a plane pilot and a mechanic - where you have to take care of your plane in between flights. Fantastic idea.
