Boiling Steam recently reported that 131 new games with native Linux builds were released on Steam between August 12 and August 19, 2026.

Boiling Steam published this data in its August 19 edition, noting the report itself was late. Among the titles highlighted were "Dreamcards," a card game where "card interactions generate emergent story beats" and which has "Palworld meets Slay the Spire vibes." Another game mentioned was "I.T. Never Ends," featuring a desk-job narrative centered on "absurd IT tickets, with GLaDOS-tier voice acting and a lot of secrets to uncover."
