Some great Native Linux games to grab in the Steam Summer Sale 2026

I’ll recommend The Drifter (thumbnail) for its very good story, cool UI, beautiful pixel graphics, and melodious full Aussie voice cast. Being inspired by the point and clicks of old it inevitably had a couple confusing spots, but a fun and unique time to be sure.

I can highly recommend Shapez 2. I’m a bit off and on with factory games but this one really grabbed me.

Silksong is easily the best game I’ve played in the last few years. If you haven’t played it, I’d highly recommend. It’ll be worth every penny.

Honestly native Linux doesn’t matter to me anymore because proton is so good. Motorsport Manager actually kept crashing for me in the Linux version and switching to proton fixed it.

People who care about native Linux builds might also care that this:

Two Point Museum

Channels money into this:

Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper

I played The Drifter and Until Then some time ago, both are heavily recommended if you like these kinds of games. Especially The Drifter, absolutely great game and it’s palatable even for someone like me who doesn’t really like point-and-click adventures (I’m a bit low on patience for figuring out the “go to a specific place and combine a specific item with a specific part of the location” riddles).
