The invasion has begun. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is now available on Linux and you can help stop the alien invasion right now.
QuoteSince its inception, the XCOM Project has scoured the globe in search of the best and brightest military and scientific personnel to defend Earth from the alien invasion.
Today marks the availability of a new technology that will enable even more world-class recruits to join the fight, as XCOM: Enemy Unknown is released for Linux.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a SteamPlay title that runs on Ubuntu 14.04 and Valve’s SteamOS. The base game and all the add-on content, including the explosive expansion pack XCOM: Enemy Within, are available now from Steam.
Rookies should report to the XCOM: Enemy Unknown Steam information page for a briefing.

Let us know what you think to it, as for me it will be my first time playing it. Check it out on Steam now.
With the Steam sales happening very soon it may be an idea to hold off on buying it just yet. That is unless you want to support Feral with as much cash as you can throw at the screen for porting to Linux then go ahead right now.
We should have an interview with the guys at Feral soon, so keep an eye out for that too folks.
Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
Anyone know anything about the quality of the port?

Finally!
XCOM:EU is one of the few games I managed to just lose myself in for weeks. I played through in normal difficulty and then twice in a row in hardcore Classic mode. I've been holding off on buying the Enemy Within expansion till the Linux port was ready.

If the port is as good as the Civilization V port i'll buy the dlc
With Civilization V and this port , the door is open for other ports like borderlands 2 and other AA and AAA games ^_^

Ok, 20€ for a modern AAA with a meta of nearly 90 running natively on Linux? It's an instabuy, guys!

The more ports like this that happen the easier it will be for developers to port in future, as they will have the experience ready and hopefully their own tool-sets ready for more.
The future is bright!

I had already bought this a while back on sale. Not sleeping for the next 4 days now, easily one of my favorite games ever.
