Between 2024-05-22 and 2024-05-29 there were 43 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 305 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 14.1 % of total released titles. A higher percentage than usual.

Among the lot there’s Duck Detective that’s worth mentioning, an easy and fun adventure game where you are a duck detective. It’s apparently delightful (yet short) and well worth a try.
