New Steam Games with Native Linux Clients, including Ruffy and The Riverside - 2025-07-02 Edition

By

Between 2025-06-25 and 2025-07-02 there were 28 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 375 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 7.5 % of total released titles. There’s one title worth highlighting in this week, Ruffy and The Riverside, taking on the 3D retro platformer genre (think Banjo Kazooie if you know the series).

It nails the graphics completely and has very positive reviews so far (while some people complain about the excess of cutscenes).
