Paradox confirm no Linux support for Prison Architect 2 but investigating Steam Deck

Quoting: finaldestWe need an option for games to be officially supported on Linux desktop.

I make a proposal for Valve to have a "Desktop" verified tag next to "Steam Deck" verified. This would then allow devs and publishers to officially support a game via Proton on Desktop PC's the same as they do for the steam deck.
This. Native builds are not necessary (even though they are better than Wine - in my opinion - if done properly), but what we definitely need (and what we had when native builds were a thing) is official Linux / Steam Deck support from game devs. Not just relying on Valve and Wine/Proton "to magically make their games work".

So it is a "next-gen native title", but most likely not a "Linux native title". That's sad.

The lack of a native Linux port is a huge disappointment to me (especially considering that other games from Paradox Interactive got native ports) and the reason why I won't buy this game even though I am a huge Star Trek fan.

What about the original version? Is it still available?

By the way, I still dream of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars being re-released on Steam.

Steam gets overhauled with new overlay, Steam Deck big stable update
15 Jun 2023 at 8:58 pm UTC

Looks and works great! The only two small things I've noticed so far are:

1. It is not possible to launch selected games in small mode by pressing Enter key.
2. Opening the Steam overlay in CS:GO causes the game to hang and/or crash.
