New Steam Games with Native Linux Clients, including Necesse - 2025-10-22 Edition

By

Between 2025-10-15 and 2025-10-22 there were 31 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. For reference, during the same time, there were 433 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 7.2 % of total released titles. The most popular title of the past week is without doubt Necesse, a mashup of Rimworld, Terraria, Stardew Valley, and the survivor genre. Looks improbable but this is a very successful recipe that has several gamers saying the genre has peaked with Necesse. The graphics are far from impressive but that’s not at all the point of the game.
