New Steam Games with Native Linux Clients with Astral Ascent, Backpack Hero and Bzzzt - 2023-11-15 Edition

By

Between 2023-11-08 and 2023-11-15 there were 46 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 358 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 12.8 % of total released titles. This week is actually very rich in good games as well, even if we just limit ourselves to native Linux clients. There’s a bunch of them that I feel like trying out, and my favorite in the mix is probably Astral Ascent:
