Which popular PC games run on Linux?

We took the 92 games with the most people playing on Steam and checked each one. 79 of those run on Linux. Of the rest, 11 are held back by their anti-cheat software, which no Linux setting can fix.

Each verdict combines three things: whether the game has its own Linux version, how players rate it on ProtonDB, and whether its anti-cheat works on Linux. The gaming guide explains what those mean. The lists below add 762 long-standing favourites that have dropped out of the top hundred, so they cover 854 games in all. Checked 20 September 2026.
