Windows game on Linux?

[HBLEY]

Hi I don't know if its a dumb question to ask but I was wondering if all new PC games can be played on Linux? is it possible?

Some games can be played with Wine or have if set up with Virtual Box. Defeats the performance purpose using an emulator, however, run a Dual Boot system and use MS to run your games only. That is what I will do to keep things simple if can put up with the Rebooting to play games. On the bright side... even if MS calls the mothership, all they are getting is gaming habits.

Steam Games like Team Fortress run on native Linux. In fact the Valve box is Linux....

You can run Windows steam games on Linux through WINE. Though it will be a huge amount easier just running Linux Steam games on Ubuntu, it IS possible to run some of the windows games (though it may be slower). ... You can install steam on it and play your games just like you would in Windows.

Yes I know, performance will ack. But at least I'd be playing some Windows game on Linux now. Thanks for the help

well, with FIFA i am regular, need to look at Ghost Recon Wildlands, heard a lot about it. Rainbow Six siege is a great game, love it.

Well, I am glad that we share some good games. Share your PSN id so we can play a round or two together.

a large percentage of windows games have a linux counterpart
but Im not a gamer so it doesn't matter to me.
many dos based games play through emulators just fine as well as many working dos programs.
