Between 2024-09-18 and 2024-09-25 there were 24 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 156 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 15.4 % of total released titles. That’s a fairly high percentage! I am headed to the Tokyo Games Show tomorrow so there may be some good surprises on the indies side. In the meantime, there’s Aura of Worlds, a nice take on the platformer genre with the usage of tools and other elements to go through procedurally generated levels.

Here’s a quick pick of all the cool titles:
