QuoteAspyr Media is pleased to announce our first Linux and SteamOS title, Sid Meier’s Civilization V. The SteamOS release includes all Civilization V DLC and expansion content, including Gods & Kings and Brave New World.
This release targets SteamOS on current gen hardware. Additionally, we're working towards supporting Ubuntu 14.04 as well as additional video cards in future updates.
Here’s where we need your help! To improve Civ V and future AAA games on SteamOS, we're looking for feedback. Tell us below what's working great or what's not working. If you're having any problems, please contact our support directly at http://support.aspyr.com/tickets/new

Wow, I wasn't expecting Civ V to come out before XCOM *at all*. Let's see if my marriage will survive this.

Maybe just for some nerds it will be better if you will add native version to content with source

"...and future AAA games..."I wonder if this means just Firaxis, or Take2 as a whole... GTAV on Linux, anyone?

I bade goodbye to L4D2 for now to make some space, I'll welcome it back on my SteamBox when it gets released finally. ;-)

Great work! Runs very well on my system (Open Suse 13.1; Nvidia Geforce 460). But I have a problem with the DLC. They don't appear in the library (neither in steam, neither in the game). I guess they will come later. Anyway, good news good job :-)
