As far as we know, it's not coming to the Linux desktop officially but it will be on Steam.

They never said it's not coming, they so far didn't comment on their future plans.

And to everyone here. Please actually head to that thread, and express your interest in the game for desktop Linux! So far very few people did it.

The biggest single chunk of work was porting the game to Vulkan, which took a bit over a month

That's the main point. Input and etc. may be Stadia specific, but it's minor stuff in comparison with the renderer work. Icculus stressed this several times in the past.

Which means that once the game is released for Stadia, it's not hard to release it for Linux proper.

Looks promising. Some inspiration by the Golden Axe obviously, but the funny thing is that none of the main characters are actually using an axe :)

I hope it will come out on GOG!

I think I used it only once in the past. Bug a welcome change anyway.

Quoting: Liam DaweGot a reply today from Valve to clarify other sales.

Desktop client takes the initial platform, then two weeks playtime to count. All others (Android, browser) default to Windows then two weeks playtime.

Why is it so hard to analyze the user agent in case of the browser?

Great. So are Valve replacing SteamVR with Monado?

Quoting: elmapulwtf?
Ray tracing is the holygrail of computer graphics.
maybe Rtx, their dedicated cores, may be gimick, but Ray tracing?

We aren't talking about ray tracing, we are talking about Nvidia's implementation. See my post above. What they did it not a miracle, it's a gimmick. Once someone will make serious real time ray tracing on commodity hardware, you can call it a miracle. Nvidia did nothing of the sort.

Quoting: ElectroDDLast example, g-sync... They went as far as manipulating the branding from monitor manufacturer when they lost the battle against AMD.

I'd say they failed overall. Example: https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27GL850-gaming-monitor [External Link]

* NVIDIA® G-SYNC® Compatible
* Adaptive-Sync (FreeSync™)

Adaptive sync is mentioned.

Quoting: GuestThere's actually quite a lot of a video card that isn't used at any given time, so while adding some dedicated raytracing pathways may reduce area dedicated to other features, I don't think the impact is of the magnitude that you might be thinking.

If general GPU compute units can handle ray tracing - then fine, but apparently they aren't good enough for it (yet).
