14 Awesome Games Linux Users Can Grab in Steam Sale 🎮 (Ends 10 July)

Linux gaming has been evolving over the years, thanks to Wine, Valve's Proton, and many other tools like Bottles, Lutris, and Heroic Game Launcher.

This means even if a game is unavailable natively on Linux, you can still play some of them thanks to Steam Play.

That's great. But you would need some great discounts on games to give them a try, right?

Well, you are in luck; the yearly Steam Summer Sale is live right now (until July 10, 2025), with offers on much of the catalog.

I have picked a few games for Linux systems (even if they are not natively supported) that might pique your interest.
