你已经听说过这个消息。游戏发行平台 [Steam 正在复刻一个 WINE 分支来允许你玩仅限于 Windows 上的游戏](/article-10054-1.html)。对于 Linux 用户来说，这绝对是一个好消息，因为我们总抱怨 Linux 的游戏数量不足。


这个新功能仍处于测试阶段，但你现在可以在 Linux 上试用它并在 Linux 上玩仅限 Windows 的游戏。让我们看看如何做到这一点。


### 使用 Steam Play 在 Linux 中玩仅限 Windows 的游戏


![Play Windows-only games on Linux](/data/attachment/album/201809/29/124731mmpbpstynxl3brbr.jpg)


你需要先安装 Steam。Steam 适用于所有主要 Linux 发行版。我已经详细介绍了[在 Ubuntu 上安装 Steam](https://itsfoss.com/install-steam-ubuntu-linux/)，如果你还没有安装 Steam，你可以参考那篇文章。


安装了 Steam 并且你已登录到 Steam 帐户，就可以了解如何在 Steam Linux 客户端中启用 Windows 游戏。


#### 步骤 1：进入帐户设置


运行 Steam 客户端。在左上角，单击 “Steam”，然后单击 “Settings”。

#### 步骤 2：选择加入测试计划


在“Settings”中，从左侧窗口中选择“Account”，然后单击 “Beta participation” 下的 “CHANGE” 按钮。

你应该在此处选择 “Steam Beta Update”。


![Enable beta feature in Steam Linux](/data/attachment/album/201809/29/124732ljdqj2b9w53ft4uo.jpg)


在此处保存设置后，Steam 将重新启动并下载新的测试版更新。


#### 步骤 3：启用 Steam Play 测试版


下载好 Steam 新的测试版更新后，它将重新启动。到这里就差不多了。


再次进入“Settings”。你现在可以在左侧窗口看到新的 “Steam Play” 选项。单击它并选中复选框：


* Enable Steam Play for supported titles （你可以玩列入白名单的 Windows 游戏）
* Enable Steam Play for all titles （你可以尝试玩所有仅限 Windows 的游戏）

我不记得 Steam 是否会再次重启，但我想这无所谓。你现在应该可以在 Linux 上看到安装仅限 Windows 的游戏的选项了。


比如，我的 Steam 库中有《Age of Empires》，正常情况下这个在 Linux 中没有。但我在 Steam Play 测试版启用所有 Windows 游戏后，现在我可以选择在 Linux 上安装《Age of Empires》了。

*现在可以在 Linux 上安装仅限 Windows 的游戏*


### 有关 Steam Play 测试版功能的信息


在 Linux 上使用 Steam Play 测试版玩仅限 Windows 的游戏有一些事情你需要知道并且牢记。


* 目前，[只有 27 个 Steam Play 中的 Windows 游戏被列入白名单](https://steamcommunity.com/games/221410)。这些白名单游戏可以在 Linux 上无缝运行。
* 你可以使用 Steam Play 测试版尝试任何 Windows 游戏，但它可能不是总能运行。有些游戏有时会崩溃，而某些游戏可能根本无法运行。
* 在测试版中，你无法 Steam 商店中看到适用于 Linux 的 Windows 限定游戏。你必须自己尝试游戏或参考[这个社区维护的列表](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DcZZQ4HL_Ol969UbXJmFG8TzOHNnHoj8Q1f8DIFe8-8/htmlview?sle=true#)以查看该 Windows 游戏的兼容性状态。你也可以通过填写[此表](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeefaYQduMST_lg0IsYxZko8tHLKe2vtVZLFaPNycyhY4bidQ/viewform)来为列表做出贡献。
* 如果你在 Windows 中通过 Steam 下载了游戏，你可以[在 Linux 和 Windows 之间共享 Steam 游戏文件](/article-8027-1.html)来节省下载的数据。


我希望本教程能帮助你在 Linux 上运行仅限 Windows 的游戏。你期待在 Linux 上玩哪些游戏？

*Proton-based Steam Play allows you to play Windows-only games on Linux. Here’s how to use this feature in Steam right now.*

## What is Steam Play?

Game distribution platform Steam has implemented a fork of WINE; it’s called – “Steam Play”. With Steam Play, Linux users can play games available on Windows only. A compatibility tool "Proton" is used for Steam Play to make Windows games work on Linux.

## Play Windows-only games in Linux with Steam Play (Proton)

You need to install Steam first.

Steam is available for all major Linux distributions. I have written in detail about [installing Steam on Ubuntu](https://itsfoss.com/install-steam-ubuntu-linux/), and you may refer to that article if you don’t have Steam installed yet.

Once you have Steam installed and you have logged into your Steam account, it’s time to see how to enable Windows games in the Steam Linux client.

**Suggested Read 📖**

[Best Distributions for Gaming on LinuxIf you are a hardcore PC gamer, Linux might not be your first choice. That’s fair because Linux isn’t treated as a first-class citizen when it comes to gaming. You won’t find the most awaited games of the year available on Linux natively. Not to forget that](https://itsfoss.com/linux-gaming-distributions/)![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/10/best-linux-gaming-distributions.png)


![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/10/best-linux-gaming-distributions.png)

### Step 1: Go to Account Settings

Run Steam client. On the top left, click on Steam and then on Settings.

![screenshot showing the steam account settings menu](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/02/steam-account-settings.png)

### Step 2: Enable Steam Play

Now, you’ll see an option **Steam Play** in the left side panel. Click on it and check the boxes:

**Enable Steam Play for supported titles**(This is usually**checked by default**to let you run supported Windows games seamlessly)**Enable Steam Play for all titles**(With this option, you can try/experiment other games that may not be known to work)

![steam play option screen](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/02/steam-play-enable.png)

You can also opt to **change the version of the compatibility layer (Proton)** if you need it. Once you are done selecting the options, hit “**OK**” and proceed to restart steam in order for the changes to take effect.

![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/02/steam-proton-version.png)

To get the latest compatible support, you may want to use "**Proton Experimental**". If you want to use a Proton version that is still in the testing phase, **Proton Next** should be the pick.

In either case, if the game supports a specific version as per your research, you can enable any of the available older versions as well.

Here’s how it will work:

For example, I have Age of Empires in my Steam library, which is not available on Linux typically. But after I enabled Steam Play for all Windows titles, it now gives me the option for installing Age of Empires on Linux.

## Things to know about Steam Play feature

There are a few things you should know and keep in mind about using Windows-only games on Linux with Steam Play:

- A large number of Window-only games work on Linux using this feature. Some are AAA (triple A) titles, and some are indie games.
- You should not expect for all games to work seamlessly. Some might crash, and some might need a little troubleshooting to make things work with your hardware.
- You can always refer to
[ProtonDB](https://www.protondb.com)or[Steam Deck verified](https://www.steamdeck.com/en/verified)list to find games that you should try first. - If you have games downloaded on Windows via Steam, you can save some download data by
[sharing Steam game files between Linux and Windows](https://itsfoss.com/share-steam-files-linux-windows/).

In addition, you should refer to our [Linux gaming guide](https://itsfoss.com/linux-gaming-guide/) for more information.

## How Do You Identify Games That Work On Steam Play?

![Protondb Screenshot](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/11/protondb-screenshot.jpg)

I’m sure that you don’t have a lot of free time to download games one by one and test them with Steam Play.

As mentioned earlier, you can visit [ProtonDB](https://www.protondb.com/) to check reports/stats contributed by gamers to see what games work and what do not.

Any game that has a rating of silver and above can be tried. However, it would make more sense to try **Platinum/Gold-rated** games first. The website also lists the games that are [Steam Deck verified](https://www.steamdeck.com/en/verified), which is also an excellent way to know what works on Linux.

You can use that as a reference to decide whether you should download/purchase a particular game.

*I hope this tutorial helped you in running Windows-only games on Linux. Which game(s) are you looking forward to playing on Linux?*
