Valve has just updated this October the whitelist for Windows Games that work (flawlessly?) using Proton. Such games should appear just like Linux native clients in your library in case you did not allow Steam Play to accept all title:

AdVenture Communist

Aftergrinder

Bejeweled 3

Castle Crashers

Cat Goes Fishing

Coffee Shop Tycoon

Coloring Pixels

Commander Keen Complete Pack

Everyday Shooter

Fieldrunners 2

Guacamelee 2



Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders

HeXen: Beyond Heretic

HeXen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel

Mighty Switch Force! Hyper Drive Edition

Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge

Overcooked

Puzzle Agent

Sam & Max Season 1



Sam & Max Season 2

Sam & Max Season 3

Spelunky

Stick Fight: The Game

VirtuaCreature

The Witness

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood



Zen of Sudoku

A lot of older titles in this list (Monkey Island 2 Special Edition is just a HD version of the old game), or Telltales games (RIP) like the newer Sam and Max series. But the most interesting additions in this list are The Witness (from Jonathan Blow who used to say that Linux can’t reliably draw 3D) and Wolfenstein: the Old Blood, a prequel to the Wolfenstein universe, published by Bethesda. My guess is that the new Wolfenstein will also be whitelisted at some point since it uses Vulkan as the only graphics API so it’s probably a low hanging fruit as well. Also worth nothing that Guacamelee 2 now works on Linux with Steam Play: in case you liked the first episode and wanted more, now is the time to consider getting it on Linux!
