It frustrates me to see the confusion from users across the internet on what game supports Linux, as it shouldn't be this difficult, but Valve have made it difficult for people by not fully thinking this through. It could also be possible that they simply don't care, but I would certainly hope they do.Įven moving the "STEAMPLAY" text to the start instead of at the end would help somewhat, as it would clearly show the SteamOS icon by itself then. I do think Valve need to do something to address this, I'm sure they know it's a little confusing, but it's possible they haven't even looked into it yet.
#If i bought steam games for a windows will it play on a mac mac#
Here's one that only supports Windows & Mac for example: If a game is not Steam Play, you would need to re-buy it on each platform. Steam Play means you buy it once, and it will only work on the platforms that the game supports directly. You see this all the time, but Steam Play does not mean it supports Linux & SteamOS. If it doesn't have that little SteamOS icon at the end, it usually means it does not support Linux/SteamOS.
They then replaced that with the SteamOS logo, which is basically the Steam logo in a coloured circle. The problem is, Valve originally used the Linux "Tux" icon to show Linux compatibility: Hopefully this will help clear it all up.
I still see a surprising amount of confusion from people on what Steam games work on Linux.
