Between 2024-02-21 and 2024-02-28 there were 54 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 342 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 15.8 % of total released titles.

This week there’s a great game called Rail Route that came out, which is a kind of train dispatcher simulator. I’m already on it and it’s very well designed. More to come on this later…
