What about Evolve, do we know who's porting that? That's also a MAC/Linux port.

Some Depots have appeared for Kotor2 in the steamdb - looks confirmed :-)

Edit: well not new, but looks likely this is it.

Alien: Isolation Looks Like It's Coming To Linux, Oh God, Don't Make Me Play It

Now that's something I really didn't expect - more welcome good news. I'm tipping on an in-house native port on this one.

The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna DLC Arriving Soon
9 Jul 2015 at 10:42 am UTC

The Talos Principle is one of the best puzzle games that I ever had the pleasure of playing, so this DLC will be a no-brainer for me. It's not a game to rush though, especially if you choose to read all the (often) philosophical text too.

BioShock Infinite Patch Solves AMD Processor Lock-ups

After a short test I can say that the AMD CPU lock-ups seemed to be solved with the patch. It was crashing every minute before, so I could hardly get out of the main menu. There are still missing textures with the Catalyst 15.2 driver on a HD 5770 - I haven't tried any newer driver yet.

Civilization V Now Supports Steam Workshop On Linux
20 Jun 2015 at 6:48 pm UTC

I just tried the Lord of the Rings mod, but it crashes every time that I start a game :-(
I just saw in the FAQ that this mod doesn't work on the MAC, so probably the same with Linux.

XCOM 2 Gameplay Shown During E3, Linux Port Still Really Happening

This looks fantastic. Any information about the engine used - UE3 again?

Looks Like Shadow Of Mordor Won't Support AMD Graphics On Linux At Release

I will probably try it anyway on my AMD hardware. I put 60 hours into Borderlands 2 without problems, and that with environmental lighting enabled, although it was said not to be supported. If it doesn't work, I'll wait until I get my new Nvidia based machine. I'm done with AMD anyway.

XCOM 2 Revealed, Will Be Getting Linux Treatment

Awesome news, and happy to hear that Feral is doing the port too! I better do some time with Enemy Within first...

Spec Ops: The Line Released For Linux, Initial Port Report Included
14 May 2015 at 9:38 pm UTC

It's working well on my AMD hardware, except for stuttering when moving into a new section. After 50 minutes I had the first crash though. Still first impressions are good. That's 3 out of 4 successful VP ports for me. Bioshock Infinite always crashes after about a minute, so a non-starter there.
