New Steam Games with Native Linux Builds, including Toy Shire and Train Station Tycoon - 2026-10-07 Edition

Boiling Steam

Between 2026-09-30 and 2026-10-07 there were 107 New Steam games released with Native Linux builds. For reference, during the same time, there were 735 games released for Windows on Steam, so the Linux versions represent about 14.6 % of total released titles. This week our selection is quite short despite the large initial pool of games. Worth noting is Toy Shire, a tower defense game in a very nice package. Let’s not forget Train Station Tycoon that is still early but shows some great promise. Find details for those 2 and more games below!

Older AMD GPUs Get a Second Life in Linux's amdgpu Driver

Boiling Steam

Timur Kristof is a open-source graphics developer and electrical engineer working as a subcontractor for Valve. He used to work on SailfishOS (Jolla), before starting his work on several parts of Mesa, the open graphics drivers stack on Linux. He used his XDC 2026 talk, streamed by the X.Org Foundation on September 30, 2026, to report that decade-old AMD graphics cards now run cleanly on the modern amdgpu driver. The work closed long-standing gaps in display output, video encode and decode, and crash recovery across the GCN generations.
