There I am, in bed about to fall asleep when my phone lights up as I forgot to put it on silent. Thankfully so, as it turns out Valve just expanded the Steam Play whitelist and that's always a bit exciting.
What is the whitelist? These are titles that Valve are confident enough that work out of the box with no additional configuration required. You don't need to turn any extra options on, they should just be click and play like any other Linux game on Steam.
The list has some interesting titles in it as seen on SteamDB, here's the full list of new titles sorted in alphabetical order for easy viewing:
- 12 Labours of Hercules VII: Fleecing the Fleece (Platinum Edition)
- A Raven Monologue
- AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity
- Acid Nimbus
- Alien Shooter 2: Reloaded
- Bullet Candy
- DARK SOULS™ III
- Dungeon of the Endless™
- Endless Road
- Final DOOM
- FlatOut 2
- Glass Masquerade
- Hags Castle
- I’m not a Monster
- Jamestown
- LEGO® Star Wars™ III - The Clone Wars™
- Mega Man Legacy Collection
- Mysterium: A Psychic Clue Game
- Nidhogg
- Oh...Sir! The Hollywood Roast
- PAC-MAN™ Championship Edition DX+
- Pathfinder Adventures
- Picross Fairytale: Legend of the Mermaid
- Poker Night at the Inventory
- Primordia
- SEPTEMBER 1999
- STAR WARS™ - Dark Forces
- STEINS;GATE
- Samorost 2
- South Park™: The Stick of Truth™
- Star Explorers
- Starless Night
- The Curse of Monkey Island
- The House of Da Vinci
- The Room
- Tiny Bridge: Ratventure
- Wuppo
- Year Walk
- Zoombinis
Some rather varied titles available there, on top of all the titles previously added. Good to see Valve reasonably quickly add more, as things do progress forward with projects like DXVK (which forms part of Steam Play) quite quickly.
I'm assuming they won't be adding anything on the store to indicate Steam Play, until they've done a some more rounds on adding to the whitelist. They want it to make an impact of course, so the bigger they can do this the better it's going to be.
Will you be checking out any of the newer titles added? The LEGO game is tempting, since my son would probably absolutely love it and there's simply no sign of any LEGO game of that sort making its way to Linux officially through a proper port so this is the next best thing.
Also, if you missed them, be sure to check out our previous interviews about Steam Play. I spoke to the creator of DXVK, Subset Games (FTL, Into the Breach), Ethan Lee (game porter) and more.

also batman origin,styx, flame and the flood and prey
Quoting: mylkawhy not shadow of the tomb raider and hitman 2 ?

I hope they do not add shadow of the tomb raider and hitman 2. Games we may get ports of should not be purchased using steam play imo.

Quoting: HadBabitsHmm, I debate getting Nidhogg. Played it before with the missus, and while I enjoyed it immensely, she became immensely annoyed with me XD (I mean, why would they give you a throw sword button if you're not supposed to use it? :P)Based on my SSBM history, I would totally be a sword-thrower in Nidhogg :P
For those who have the patience for a challenge and haven't played DS III yet, it's definitely worth the $50 or so IMO.

why not? try hitman 2. you can play the tutorial for free. for me it works better, than hitman 1 (actually you all should install it, to show IOI that we want linux) https://store.steampowered.com/app/863550/HITMAN_2/
i mean i get it. you want support feral, but we all want more market share for linux
it is the same with life is strange 2.
why wait, if you can advertise this game now for linux? (it is bad luck for feral, that they already started to port it)
i thinik it is for the best for linux, if you can say "i play TR and hitman NOW" and not "maybe i can play this titles in 1-3 years and if not i have to use proton anyways"
play AAA titles immediately, with good performance at the same time as windows. that helps the linux image

Quoting: NaibLEGO® Star Wars™ III - The Clone Wars™
wait what! I have it on the Wii (I have most :) ). I have zero issue with rebuying as they are great and the kids love them BUT Lego Incredible is giving me issues so I am reluctant
The Star Wars Lego Forace Awakens runs well too. Just need the ESYNC command.
Huh... playing it so long already via Steam Play I just assumed so.

Quoting: BrisseThat is awesome that Dark Souls III made the list [...], but to be honest, there's a performance issue that sometimes causes the framerate to take a big dip after loading screens and as far as I know it's not been fixedHas anyone actually tried using newest Proton with an older DXVK version to check what's actually causing that regression?
I personally can't reproduce the problem at all, the game runs at a nice 60 FPS at all times.
