14 DAY TRIAL // Valve has announced a massive Steam sale and revealed that a number of important games are heading for the Linux platform.
Many of the titles showing up in the latest SteamOS sale on Steam were known to have Linux support, but there are also a few others that made it there and surprised everyone. Games like Batman: Arkham Knight, Total War: ATTILA, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, Payday 2, Saints Row IV, Torchlight 2, The Witcher 3, and Grid Autosport have taken the community by surprise, which is ecstatic to say the least.
It was easy to guess that some of the games would likely have Linux support, but Batman: Arkham Knight, Payday 2, Saints Row IV, and Grid Autosport came out of nowhere. To be fair, this is a sale that also comes with titles that haven't been ported just yet, but this is more of a statement on Valve's behalf. They want the world to see that Linux is becoming a force and what better way to underline that than by pushing for a big SteamOS sale.
It's not clear what studios will do the ports, but Feral Interactive and Aspyr Media will be very busy in the coming months.
