PCGamingWiki Looks Into Linux Gaming With 'Port Reports'

Posted by Soulskill on from the welcome-to-our-home dept.

AberBeta writes: PCGamingWiki contributor Soeb has been looking into the recent larger budget game releases to appear on Linux, including XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Borderlands: The Pre–Sequel produced by Mac porting houses Feral and Aspyr. Soeb reports that while feature parity is high, performance could be a bit better.

  1. Gabe Newell is perhaps the biggest driver of this. by Red4man · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... not complaining, as I am a Linux user, but Steam OS is going to be the game changer, and the back catalog working on Steam is arguably more important than two AAA titles.

    The Seismic Event would be Newell confirming Half-Life 3... and saying it's coming to Steam OS (Linux) first.
