That's 91% of Steam's top 1000 games but "only" 60% of top 10.

People who play toxic, exploitative PvP games deserve a toxic, exploitative operating system to go with them.

What's it the top 10 of? most played? current top sellers? something else?

Generally the only thing that is totally borked on linux today is stuff with specific anticheat that will not support linux or mac.

  • Battlefield 6 and

  • CoD 2025 have specific anticheat requirements of windows 11 with secure boot. So yeah, those two are disqualified. If you want to play either you need Windows or a console.

  • PUBG doesn't work, due to anticheat not supporting linux. Guessing this is the 3rd title in the "top 10" you mentioned.

  • Bongo Cat doesn't work... because the 'game' is just a keycount logger that has an animation on the windows taskbar - it's not really a game though imo.

  • R6 siege also doesn't work due to anticheat

All the top releases this year seem to work though, aside from BF6/CoD2025.

  • Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is platinum
  • Expedition 33 is platinum
  • Outer Worlds 2 is gold
  • Hades 2 is platinum
  • Hollow Knight silksong is platinum
  • Split fiction is platinum
  • FFVII rebith is silver but solid with some tweaking and most recent reports say it's just working now (issues were old nvidia driver related)
  • Fantasy Life i is platinum

Start looking at last year's top releases and you get similar stuff where basically everything is platinum with a couple of titles as gold. Go further and you find stuff like BG3 has a native linux build and works great.

ProtonDB says that them are "Measured by peak concurrent players".
