Valve has put up their latest little festival to grab some more games with the Steam Racing Fest. It also comes with a new Steam feature with a mini-trivia game. If you play their racing trivia game you can end up with one of those cool looking profile badges.
Going over some of the big and / or otherwise interesting games on the list, here's a bunch that I picked out that are playable on Linux and Steam Deck that are discounted:
- BlazeRush - 75% off (Not verified yet but the Linux Native version works, if you force the Steam Linux Runtime)
- Horizon Chase Turbo - 75% off (Steam Deck Verified, Linux Native)
- Need for Speed Rivals - 75% off (Steam Deck Playable)
- Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered - 75% off (Steam Deck Playable)
- DIRT 5 - 70% off (Steam Deck Verified)
- DiRT Rally 2.0 - 70% off (Steam Deck Verified)
- Wreckfest - 60% off (Steam Deck Verified)
- Grand Theft Auto V - 54% off (Steam Deck Playable)
- Automobilista 2 - 50% off (Steam Deck Verified)
- MotoGP 22 - 40% off (Steam Deck Playable)
- art of rally - 35% off (Steam Deck Verified, Linux Native)
- Circuit Superstars - 25% off (Steam Deck Verified)
Steam Racing Fest will be live until May 30th.

I can definitely appreciate that position, for me I couldn't warrant the purchase at full-price, but for a £5 I am happy to give it a spin.

Yeah I was wondering about this as well, but I bet it has something to do with the acquisition of the developer by iRacing.DRAG is also on sale with 75% off and has native Linux support.While I adored that one when I played it, since the sale they've not really announced much of anything and it's a little worrying right now.

Horizon Chase Turbo is by FAR the best game of the lot. A true gem of a game.

Dirt 4 was my best driving experience ever using keyboard (no wheel). It's discounted as well. While Dirt Rally was my worst (wheel is mandatory here )
Dirt 5 isn't native and I hear it's not that good as one might expect. Maybe wheel's needed too idk.
I tested Forza Horizon 4 and 5 (win11). And I still can say that Dirt4's driving vibes are better. For real. (Again keyboard only). Although Forza looks much better.
...waiting for another linux native vulkan game

Haven't tested BlazeRush on Deck yet, but on PC the native Linux version has issues for me. We are playing this game here and there again and again for years, and it used to work fine, but since a few months some issues occured for me: Opening the Steam overlay freezes the game, and the analog stick is not detecting full acceleration when tilted (using Steam Controller). Switched to Proton and everything works again as it used to be. I guess a Steam Linux Runtime updated causes a regression. Sadge, but I guess tha game isn't maintained anymore to get this fixed.

Can add now:
Steam threw a wrench into the planned release date so it only popped up today and not at the start of the Racing Fest.
- Fly Dangerous 100% off (cuz it's free and will always be - oh and it's opensource)

So bad that Horizon Chase Turbo isn't outside of Steam DRM-Free...

While Dirt Rally was my worst (wheel is mandatory here )I can see how Dirt Rally would be horrible using a keyboard, but I have to say I got hundreds of hours of entertainment out of it with a cheap gamepad. Thumbsticks and triggers can't beat a wheel and pedals obviously, but they do the job. That said, it's a hard game to master no matter your control scheme.
