Do Windows games run on Linux?

Most Steam games run on Linux through Proton. The main exceptions are online games whose anti-cheat blocks Linux.

Also checked:

Linux app compatibility: common questions

Can Linux run Windows programs?

Some. Many popular apps, such as Spotify, Discord, Zoom, Chrome and VS Code, have official Linux versions. Others run in the browser or through compatibility layers: Proton for Steam games and Wine or Bottles for other Windows software. Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Cloud have no Linux versions; their web apps or alternatives such as LibreOffice, GIMP and DaVinci Resolve fill the gap.

Does Microsoft Office work on Linux?

Not as a desktop app. Microsoft does not make Office for Linux, but Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook work in a Linux web browser with a Microsoft account. LibreOffice, ONLYOFFICE and WPS Office are installable alternatives that open Office files.

Can I play Windows games on Linux?

Yes, most of them. Steam’s Proton runs the majority of Windows games, and some games have native Linux versions. The main exception is online games whose anti-cheat refuses Linux, including Grand Theft Auto V, Apex Legends, Destiny 2, PUBG: Battlegrounds, Rainbow Six Siege.

Where does this data come from?

Package availability comes from Flathub and Repology, native Linux builds and Steam Deck ratings from Steam, game compatibility from our summary of ProtonDB reports from the last 12 months, and anti-cheat status from AreWeAntiCheatYet. Facts that need a human, such as official web versions, are checked against the vendor’s own pages. The data is refreshed every week.

What if my app is not listed?

Search for it on Flathub, which lists most Linux desktop apps, or in your distro’s software manager. For Windows-only programs, the WineHQ application database records how well each one runs under Wine.
