Early this morning Valve officially rolled out a big update to the Steam Play whitelist, which indicates Windows games that work well with Steam Play's Proton.
Having titles in the whitelist, also means you don't need to go into Steam's settings and tick any extra boxes as they will just show up for everyone with the ability to install and play on Linux.
Sending out a Twitter post to announced it, Valve's Pierre-Loup Griffais announced "Just pushed a Steam Play whitelist update to reflect current testing results" with a link to SteamDB which helps track it all down.
The list is reasonably long, some notable titles include:
- Castle Crashers
- The Witness
- Wolfenstein: The Old Blood
- Overcooked
- Guacamelee! 2
It's going to be interesting to see how Valve eventually show support for Steam Play directly on Steam store pages, that's the next step that I'm looking forward to.
A pretty exciting start to a weekend wouldn't you say?

SteamDB just displays a change Valve has been doing to their whitelist.

Quoting: GuestWhat i wonder, and i suppose i am not alone, is to what degree they use the unofficial compatibility list in their work.I think they don't use it at all.

spcr's front page doesn't reflect that any of these games have been added to the official whitelist right now, so I imagine pointing people there to find out what's been added to the official whitelist would be kind of pointless.
Speaking of which..."SHADOW WARRIOR 2" is currently free on GOG, if you log in to your account there. I would have much prefered to have it on steam and test it out with Proton but it's still a very nice thing from GOG.

In that way we have some kind of "official" support for some windows-only titles. But the great thing about proton is that a lot of games even work great with proton if they are not on the whitelist.
I am currently playing the witcher 3 and it works like a charm. I even figured out how to use my witcher 2 save from the native linux version of the game and import it in witcher 3 before starting a new game ^_^
