Space physics puzzler Voyager 2 adds Linux and Steam Deck support

By Liam Dawe - 30 Jun 2025 at 11:42 am UTC

For people who love space, Voyager 2 is a game about probing the solar system and now it has Linux / Steam Deck support. The developer also recently added Native Linux support to their mini city builder destruction game Unnatural Disaster too.

More about it: "In Voyager 2, it's your mission to launch the Voyager space probes on a Grand Tour of the Solar System. Plot your trajectory to pass as close to each target as possible (without crashing!) to achieve the perfect flyby. Scan for enough data and earn a Golden Record and a spectacular replay of the route your probe actually flew."

In the game you have to use gravity to bend and twist your path to reach distant planets, then pilot landers to touch down on alien worlds and even inject satellites into orbit.

They do give this caveat:

What We Haven’t Tested (Yet)

Desktop Linux distributions other than SteamOS (Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, etc.)

If you play on a non-Deck Linux PC, we’d love to hear about performance, input quirks, or crashes. Share your feedback using the in-game socials (Gear Icon > Options > Email) or in the Community Hub.

Given that they've only had 7 reviews, this GOL article could make Linux users their majority customer base. It looks pretty cool.
