Just today the Steam store page was updated to have a SteamOS icon (shown below) and SteamDB shows it was added to the platform list.
They have also added some proper SteamOS/Linux system requirements, so it seems pretty likely this is actually happening. A minimum of OpenGL 4.2 support is needed for your GPU and they even list that Mesa is supported for AMD cards, so it sounds like they know what they're doing here.
I've shot off a message to Codemasters to see what's happening and will update you all once I get a reply. It would be odd to add such specific system requirements and check the Linux/SteamOS icon box if it wasn't.
About the game
QuoteThe legend is back! Micro Machines World Series combines the thrilling madness of racing micro vehicles with epic team battle strategies, set against the extraordinary interactive backdrops of the everyday home! Grab your NERF blaster, try to avoid the jam, and unleash miniature multiplayer mayhem onto the world!
LEGENDARY LOCATIONS: Featuring the iconic kitchen and pool table tracks amongst others, plus all-new locations and arenas such as the garden and workshop, Micro Machines World Series features 10 Race Tracks and 15 Battle Arenas!
It's rammed full of features too, with offline and online play, customization, interactive tracks and plenty more.
I loved playing it when I was younger and if they do it right, it could end up proving rather popular. Games like this are essential, especially when a lot of us have partners, kids and friends over often. The local multiplayer in games like this can be massively fun.

Micro Machines V4 required quite a bit of tinker to make it work under Wine IIRC so these news make me happy! Absolutely no pre-purchase though. We should demand out-of-the-box working products on Linux in all fields nowadays

I believe it when I see it. Hopefully it's an in house port and not Feral's.

I wouldn't pre-purchase. All of the Codemasters media just says "PC" with no system information, and all of the stores except steam (Humble Bundle, Green Man Gaming, etc.) just list Windows. It could be a rather unfortunate clerical error, though I'm hoping it's not.

It is not looks like an error. They gave up sys reqs for Linux and it mentions Mesa , Alsa like Linux specific terms.
That looks like they know what are they doing.

Quoting: GuestI must say I am not quite sure why it is being assumed that because it's a first day release of Mac/Linux alongside Windows, it's assumed that the work on this is being done in house. This is not a given at all.
When you look at the Steam page, it's Codemaster's all over the place in the editors/distributors informations. No mention of Feral, Aspyr or VP. Other ports usually mention the porting studio. It's sure not a certainty and it might get updated in the coming days/weeks, but for the moment it looks like an in house port.

Quoting: MohandevirJaycee has a point. Only if the contract says so. Aspyr & Feral have their names as they assume the role of Publisher for the Linux versions.Quoting: GuestI must say I am not quite sure why it is being assumed that because it's a first day release of Mac/Linux alongside Windows, it's assumed that the work on this is being done in house.

It could be anyone doing it on a contract simply on behalf of Codemasters. Ethan Lee ports for example or Icculus don't have their details on their ports as they were just contracted to work on them.

Not going to argue on that. Never pretended it was a sure thing. This said, any hints from these 2 guys? :)
