A little late this time, but there’s our weekly update on the latest games released with a Linux client on Steam. Between 2024-04-03 and 2024-04-10 there were 54 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 468 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 11.5 % of total released titles. There’s a lot of games based on deck-building and roguelite concepts these days. The one title that stands out for me in this week is Pathblasters, with retro arcade-vibes and a 2-player mode on the same screen that’s quite rare these days:
