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?

Quoting: SadLDid a double take when I saw that! I never did finish that game... Don't think I would have the patience for it now :PQuoting: hardpenguinOne of the most notable titles on the list is Spelunky :) And Stick Fight The Game as well!I was going to say "Commander Keen" instead..but that would make me feel really old..
..oh too late..darn it!
Monkey Island™ 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge™ is the first game on the whitelist that's in my library. Pretty excited for that, I was really happy with how they remastered the games.

Quoting: toojaysAny idea why they would whitelist The Old Blood but not The New Order? Aren't they the same engine?
Quoting: HoriAwesome!Not sure about Old Blood, but TNO had a pretty major issue (crashing in the menus)with AMD/mesa that only recently got a fix. It also has a major frame rate bomb in one area of the game on those drivers too.
I'm curious why Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is whitlisted but The New Order isn't. They are basically the same game, with different campaigns, and very small changes.
They both performed 100% under WINE with no noticeable performance loss whatsoever. Is it different in Proton? I don't want to try TNO again since I already finished it not too long ago.
Quoting: GuestSuprised Wolfenstein 2: New Collosus hasn't been added to their whitelist
Uses vulkan by default and I played the game from start to finish on Proton with zero issues
There's some kind of facial animation bug that affects AMD/mesa users.
I think this is a common problem, you need it working on all major graphics drivers beforw a game gets white listed.
Which is why I think The Witness got white listed so fast. It works perfectly from day 1 on all GPU.

I played the demo today, and it runs very well but characters don't open their mouth when they speak. There's just some weird distortion around it.
I take it that you didn't see that on your gameplay?

This might as well be the main reason why it is not whitelisted yet, since the game should otherwise run flawlessly.

The other day, I was going through my Humble unclaimed keys (mainly due to the unclaimed ones being Windows titles). I've been claiming some of the ones that are appealing, and adding them to my Steam account. It'll be pretty cool being able to play many of them (easily) as Proton continues to improve. Also the fact that when they are played it shows up as Linux play is great too.
Some examples of games I claimed:
Rusty Lake: Roots, Domina, Western Press, Westerado: Double Barreled, Sam & Max season 1, Sam & Max season 2, Tower 57, The Sexy Brutale, Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, Telltale: Texas Hold 'Em, Puzzle Agent, Puzzle Agent 2, Poker Night at the Inventory, Killing Floor 2.
Quite happy that some of those claims turned out to be in the new Valve Supported List.
Meanwhile, I also own those two Wolfenstein titles (TOB, TNO), and I've been twitching to give one a go.

Anyone knows if it's on the stable mesa drivers the fix for the old blood?
