Dune: Awakening from Funcom has officially arrived, and thankfully it does work rather nicely on Desktop Linux.

We had a lot of events over the weekend, so here's a round-up of some interesting game announcements to keep you up to date.

The Heroic Games Launcher has a bug-fix released out with v.2.17.1 bringing some essential fixes, like games not launching.

We already have Ludusavi, but now we also have SaveState, another attempt to create a user-friendly and versatile game save backup manager.

Crazy Taxi delivery sim but with a horse and carriage, plus some over the top physics? Castle Cab really does look like a lot of fun.

Like collecting creatures but don't have a lot of time? Kabuto Park is the one for you.

Valve launched the Zombies vs Vampires Fest on Steam. There's a number of nice games discounts, so here's some suggestions for Linux, SteamOS and Steam Deck.

Some fun news coming out of Computex 2025 with AMD revealing two models of the Radeon RX 9060 XT, along with a big upgrade for FSR 4 named 'Redstone'.

Rogue Worlds is a new free chaotic tactical roguelite platformer that's a spin-off of Aura of Worlds, a paid bigger game from developer Cognitive Forge. It looks really good and can't argue with that price.

The Wandering Village is such a sweet idea for a city-builder, taking place on the back of a huge walking creature. It's in Early Access with Linux / Steam Deck support and a big new update just arrived.

Just what the survivorlike bullet heaven genre thingy needed - nudity! Conquest Dark from Eldritch Sword Games actually has quite a number of fun game mechanics worth exploring, the nudity is optional but it has a point.

Quite a big release for the open source evolution sim Thrive, with some major new features being added to the latest release of this scientific survival game.

After recently having the chance to review the rather large UPERFECT UMax 24, the team at UPERFECT sent over the much more portable 16 inch UColor O2 for me to take a look over.

The inspiration is obvious to anyone who has seen classic Disney cartoons on this one and I'm all for it. MOUSE: P.I. For Hire looks like a lot of fun and the latest trailer shows off more weapons.

Here's the new up to date list of games available on Amazon Prime Gaming for April 17th, and what compatibility you can expect for Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck. An easy way to build up your gaming collection with these games coming as part of your Amazon Prime subscription.

The Last of Us Part II Remastered has been updated with another major patch version 1.2, which brings quite a few essential fixes along with a performance improvement for players on Steam Deck.

Real time chaotic strategy simplified to make it work well on a gamepad? With single-player, versus and co-op modes? D.O.T. Defence is out in Early Access with Native Linux support made with Godot.

With the latest update out today, Blood West from Hyperstrange and New Blood Interactive is now Steam Deck Verified and well worth a look.

With funding from Outersloth, the publishing arm of the Among Us developer Innersloth, Neverway is a new reveal from Coldblood Inc. A horror RPG that blends action and life sim elements and there's plenty of names involved in this one that you might recognise.

Schedule I is high up on my wishlist to eventually play-through, thankfully being in Early Access I've got plenty of time to get to it and it's only going to get better with full Steam Deck support planned.
